I still got it

-
A lot of times in life, things can seem slow, weird and scary. When I think about where I am in my life presently, I can't help but be mentally filled with curiosity and wonder. The whens and the hows of life always seem to seep it's way into my belief system. The thing is, it's not like there isn't a way out of liberating myself from them. It's that feeling stuck and bound in between the whens and hows of life feel like a never ending magnetic pull from freedom. It has often felt like a constant war that's been hard to win for quite a long time now.

But ironically, while being in the space where the whens and the hows of life seem to have me under an emotional and mental siege, my heart is still burning with passion and purpose. It's the most interesting thing ever. It's as if no matter the circumstance, no matter the bondage  so forth and so on, one thing that can't be touched are God's gifts to me. I may not have the whens and hows of life figured out but one thing that remains undeniable, unchanged, unshook is the fact that I am gifted. The fact that I still have a purpose to live out here. Everything else can seem confusing and illogically and difficult to comprehend but my purpose and passion has not changed in life. 

I still care and love what I can do. I still care about who I can become. I'm a dreamer who can't stand the idea of letting what's inside me die. Maybe one day I'll look back and realize how foolish I was for allowing the whens and hows of life to intimidate me. Maybe one day, I'll stand in the glory of such a win.

The Trauma of Neglect

-
 There's a trauma that comes with being emotionally neglected as a child. When you become an adult it seems as if the only person really living is the traumatized version of yourself who refuses to disappear. No matter how I think about it, the feeling of being neglected is not an easy feeling to part from once one becomes aware of how crippling it actually is. For instance, I have this terrible fear of rejection and I've had it for years and it wasn't until today that I realized that my fear of rejection stemmed from me often feeling emotionally neglected. Neglect has made me tremble at the sight of rejection. This thief named neglect has made me make stupid decisions that should have never been made. Neglect stole my ability to make healthy decisions, it stole my ability to be courageous, joyful, content.  It has become this monstrous beast who seems to follow me in my every day life. My hope is that one day I'll have conquered this beast. That I'll have see this ...

The toxic family unit no one talks about

-
I've been wanting to write something for a while now but nothing I had to say felt meaningful. Nothing I had to say felt impactful during those times in which I wanted to write and share with you all. However at last I feel as though I have something worth sharing.  I've come to the realization that there are a lot people out there who are so self aware within their family unit that when relatives who have unintentionally caused trauma to this self aware person in the family, that at some point, he/she will get so pushed to the edge ( Mentally and emotionally) by these relatives; the only thought in their mind is the idea of their relatives being deceased. Moreover he/she can also at times have thoughts about themselves being deceased because he/she have reached the capacity on how much negativity one can tolerate from a toxic and dysfunctional family unit.  I'm not sure why there hasn't been enough conversations about toxic family units in which where emotional and men...

My beef w/ God.

-
 I want to blame God for everything. It feels easy. It gives a reason for the inexplicable. My life has always seemed to be revolved around a series of inexplicable, unfortunate events. It feels easy to want to blame God for the death of my father and for having the boy father that he was. It feels easy to blame God for not having enough money to support my mother and I. It feels easy to blame God for the reason why we haven't had a place to call our own. It feels easy to blame God for the kind of life I've had thus far.  It feels easy to blame God for the reason why I haven't made any money off of my e-book. It feels easy to blame, God for the fact that even though I am working 40hrs a week, financially it's still not enough. "If God loves me and see's my circumstances then why doesn't he help?" If he can claim that true religion is helping the fatherless and widower then why hasn't he sent anyone to help us?  My fear wants to blame God. My sense ...
