Stream of Consciousness
An Apology To Myself. Top Story - February 2024.
Dear Me, I am sorry. Sorry that you're still working your 9-5, sorry that creative burnout got the best of you, sorry that comparison has gripped you so tight that you have robbed yourself of any happiness. Sorry that you thought you could make it, and you haven't yet. Sorry that writing seems so hard and you end up staring blankly at the page or the screen and inevitably your attention turns back to social media and endless scrolling.

One Story Closer To My Final Vocal Story. Content Warning.
Introduction You may see that as clickbait but it is actually a true statement for all of us. I am starting this because it is close to midnight so I am going to stay up and do midnight things before I crawl into my bed.

The Beauty of Gratitude in a world full of Cynicism
The beauty of gratitude in a world full of cynicism Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being. The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only you. Acceptance of what was and what is the only path that will lead you to what it is that you are meant to be.

Overstimulation In Social Situations
I am still learning about communication after being unheard for so long I learned I have no social quos, and a lot is awkward for me. No that's an understatement I don't have a social life. I did have someone a thought to call a friend, however, we aren't friends anymore. Her name was Kyndall Lewis, I thought we had somewhat something in common. I was wrong to have said this. You know when a "friend", wants advise. They want the truth, however, the thing is they don't want the truth they want a lie. I said the wrong thing to her I told her the truth.

Thinking Out Loud
Reflection on Leslie Jamison’s Introduction: "The Best American Essays" “The essay is political—and politically useful, by which I mean humanizing and provocative—because of its commitment to nuance, its explorations of contingency, its spirit of unrest, its glee at overturned assumptions; because of the double helix of awe and distrust—faith and doubt—that structures its DNA.” Leslie Jamison, 2017

“The Journey of Love: An Enigma and a Transformation”
Love, at its core, is an enigma, a labyrinth of emotions and experiences that defies human understanding. It is a journey that takes us through mountains of joy and valleys of despair, through rivers of tears and oceans of laughter. It is a journey that transforms us, challenges us and, ultimately, defines us.

Vocal Media Writers Collaboration Facebook Group
**UPDATE 2-15-24: Now Free Join!** Hello. I wanted to talk again about the Vocal Media Writers Collaboration FB group. Firstly, it should have had a shorter name; I’m aware of that. Anyway, I posted a day or two ago about the group with a very technical and methodical approach. However, despite a lot of my post being that way, thanks to my years of freelancing, I wanted to talk about it in less of a “stuff-shirt” way and more of a way that is me, and much more casual.
