Fuck fuck fuck. Stream of conscious. Am I manic? Am I truly okay? So many ideas not enough time. I should meditate. Post office. Kyoko. Money. Kyra. I am beyond appreciative of my friends. She helps me without me asking for it. She is not judge mental. She is selfless. She is a reflection of me. Sweet Ashley. I want to be a better friend but I allow myself to be forgiven by me. We are adults and things come up. I can not be selfish, she has another human she is responsible for. No backspace, only forward motion. Forward warriors. I need to apply to an art related competition or funding. Spend time for the long run and trust the universe for the short run. I am doing it. It comes easier with time, like everything else. Let your mind flow and your fingers follow. Trust yourself. I should finish though I am feeling cock of from the coordination of my thoughts with my fingers with this keyboard. Every word and line is a “bar”. Slang. She will read this and learn a new word.

“Bars”

Below, is today’s stream of conscious in visual art form.

Voices.

I hear crowds of people cheering me on when I’m dancing/skating sometimes. I hear songs alllll the time. Not too many voices... unless I allow myself to be stressed out. 

I think these are gifts. It’s up to us whether or not we shed light and/or bring darkness to them. My life experience has allowed me to take control of my mind.. I’m saying that because I try try try, then try again. 

I am like a bag of jelly beans. Hell, I don’t even know what I’m going to get sometimes. I just have to take each day at a time. Each moment at a time.

People are so beautiful... everyone LITERALLY has a story. Their story that makes them who they are at this very moment in time. And it is an ART to be able to remove your ego, remain present, and wholeheartedly SEE within the that person as they guide you through their self portrait.

And in that sense– you see, I am a lion tamer. A professional, yet far from perfect.. There are mental obstacles that I cycle through sometimes, when I am slowing down and out of the inner-ring, I can count my blessings and be thankful. I can be thankful during those low periods even when I am not able to see light, at that moment in time. I realize people are literally walking before us with their heads high and guns loaded but dealing with a war with themselves, DAILY. And I am proud of those people and admire their strength through the lens of empathy and aspiration.

Three days ago my life took a crazy turn... I began getting further treatment and care for 3 “debilitating” mental diagnosis, at the age of 29. Today I am at peace and feel soooo much more stronger than yesterdays. I own those diagnosis’ treatments and I am proud of myself. This point in my life, has sent me into a state of extreme non-resistance– In the best ways!!! I have no fight left to resist and sensing soooo much compassion and excitement on my journey’s new twist. There is a greater compassion for myself, which leads to compassion and understanding for people. Especially for the beautiful women that have rallied behind me during these last couple of weeks. I am so BLESSED and THANKFUL for the amazing people that I’ve crossed paths with and have shared experiences with. Good and bad :)

We have our own stories and unique life experiences that make us shine a little more brighter everyday. Year 29 is teaching me to live more outward for MYSELF + the people around me. We are put on this earth to love unconditionally and by that, it is my duty to take the help of others by listening and being present when we cross paths and share moments.

All thanks for my journey and the people that are meant to be in my life for a reason or even a season. If anything, this moment is telling me to tighten my focus a little more on things that matter– things that are worth of my fucks. Like the people that continue to be here for me and have rallied behind me during this brief time in my life. 

I share this very intimate experience to be vulnerable with you all and share the spirit of empowerment and hope with anyone dealing with a mental war on a daily bases. Just know that you are loved by SOMEONE out here, even if it is just 1 person. The universe is made to work with us, so it is important to stay as positive as possible. Even if we have to fake it, it will eventually appear again. There is ALWAYS light at the end of the tunnel, even if that tunnel appear over and over… embrace the ways you were created and learn how to “dance” or cope with those unique attributions. If you seek to be more cooperative with society, learn ways to cope that help you better communicate with people and and better communicate what you are trying to convey. Just know that everyone is different and just because you have a diagnosis… or 2…. or 3…. that doesn’t mean that is who you are. Don’t let anything divine you!! Just learn how to drive SAFELY in your new whip and keep it pushing.

SHERT-SKERT!
