Bittersweet Victory
February was good to me. At Vocal, the powers that be approached me for a Black History Month feature and asked me for a story for the FYI community. During my strong start, I got blocked from a famous Vocal Facebook Group, so I created Vocal Creators Saloon; today, the group has grown to 148 members in two weeks. My heart is genuinely full on how many current/new members are willing to take a risk on a new group. With over twenty member requests a day and a flood of direct messages, I felt slightly overwhelmed. Soon after, I realized that the group was consuming my day-to-day responsibilities.

Misery Wants Company
That's what he used to say about her. "Misery Wants Company". Her own father tried to warn me about her. He basically told me that she would just drag me down with her. She did this to everyone, not because she was sadistic and wanted to see people’s failures and sadness. It was more because she felt better and more comfortable if everyone around her was as unhappy as she was. I kind of always knew he was right but I'm not sure I fully understood what he meant.

Element of Hope
As the old saying goes: There is a calm before the storm. Most do not understand at that exact moment of calm, the next step you take determines a chain reaction. Too much and you are drowning, too little and you are deprived of an element that you need to survive, yet finding balance requires so much more than you could ever imagine.

A Parable of Hope
The child had heard much about a new friend that she would meet someday soon. There was no way to know when this friend would arrive, only that the child could expect it sometime soon. Though she had not yet met this new friend, the child had old friends, and they kept her company.

Raw
Dawn seemed to be blinded by all the love and support that she thought she needed, she failed to see what she had right in front of her. Inwardly, she longed for the support that birthed a sense of self. The sense of knowing that she could do anything and be anyone. This desire blinded her to the nurturing she had presently. She idolized the love and support she thought everyone else had. So much so that she missed out on the fact that she already possessed it. Funny, how when life throws a curveball, suddenly the eye sees what was there all along.
