You can do it
I sipped my coffee late in the afternoon. Applying at jobs and writing putting myself out there. For something good to come. I saw life from a lens of what would be. Not reality, I created my own sense of reality. Giving me the courage and optimism with it also actually being real reality. I saw myself nespresso machine and still going to buy a Starbucks. The riches others dream of also . But don't have the belief they can do something new. I try as Alice in wonderland says and try to do the impossible everyday. Who says the impossible is actually impossible? Not I. I in fact know the impossible is actually quite the opposite and a very possible reality. The day was monday , my son is in school. And me trying to keep myself busy . Looking at manifesting videos and learning different things about skills. Me I am aspiring to be a lot of different things. Choose one they say? Absolutely not, I continue to pave a path others have not accomplished. Well others have. But none that I have met.

Unforgiving- Alien Weaponry
I hate to admit that the first time I heard Unforgiving was in concert. The first time was surreal, as I stood next to my brother, who I nearly lost the previous year. Little did I know a year later, this would be my comfort song when my grandmother passed.

Man In The Box
Man In The Box has always been my favorite Alice In Chains song. Perhaps because I’ve often felt that I’ve been trying to escape the box that people are always trying to paint me into. Most definitely it has something to do with Layne Staley and Jerry Cantrell’s vocal styling.

In the Mix with YouTube
Music mix channels are some of the best parts of YouTube. They keep you company when writing or studying. They’re great for finding new music, without having to dig through tons of other channels, or Spotify. It’s often the best part of my day to put music on and write.

Rap
Where did you learn to write poetry? I read a lot of poetry. That's true. More often, I listened to rap. While I like most music, rap will always be one of my favorite genres. It has taught me more than rhythm and rhyme. It’s taught me about the world.

The Calvin Stickers
Let the grifters grift. It’s their only gift. You work hard on your craft. You spend hours on your craft. Just for someone to drop a link. Or worse, they drop something unrelated. It stinks. Maybe Bill Watterson was right, when he chose to ignore the sticker grifters. We’ll see.

Does size matter?
Does size matter? Am I critiquing an actual work here? Nope. Just expressing a thought. How big should a link be at the end of an article? I often like my pics for covers, because some Unsplash images make links too large when linked at the bottom of an article.

Ethereal Symphony
In this captivating artwork, luminous strokes dance gracefully, forming a breathtaking play of light. Yet, while composition echoes brilliance, an opportunity for deeper narrative connection arises. By intertwining thematic elements, this symphony could evoke profound emotions, ensuring lasting resonance in the observer's heart.

A Beautiful Mind
Entertaining to watch, however does not depict an accurate description of Schizophrenia or John Nash's life. Nash suffered homelessness, he separated from his wife-they got back together after he became compliant with is medication-and he did not have visual hallucinations. Schizophrenia is not just hallucinations, it is a dynamic illness.

The Big Short
An absolute rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish; dread, hopelessness, defeat, excitement, hope ironically enough. The Big Short has it all. A fantastic, hilarious, tragic film that's able to simplify complex wall street vocabulary, into an easily digestible and understandable message about greed and corruption. Please, watch this film.

Charlatan
When they get online, they look to see what they can find. Was their creativity ever there? Is it in decline? Writing isn’t hard. It comes with ease. It takes no more effort than to blow a breeze. Now we question all you’ve created. Was it yours, or just imitated?
