Before the release of my first book "Upside Down (A Collection of Thoughts and Poetry 2018-2023)”, I feel it is only right I give you some insight into the meaning behind this book and it’s cover, as well as explaining each section and the inspirations behind them…

For our journal this week I’m going to be reflecting back on the year, as I’ve realized the things, the situations, and people I thought I was missing was just me force-feeding myself my own bullshit thoughts, fantasies, and whatever else that related to the thought of “if this was still my life today I’d be so much better”… until I realized the only thing I truly was missing was my own presence in myself.

Recently, I decided to try diving back into the self-help and writing workshop book, “Healing Through Words” by Rupi Kaur, to further push myself into developing brand new ideas so that I may craft them into brand new writing material. As I flipped through each page, with my third cup of coffee in my hand, there was one exercise that stuck out to me more than ever...

For this week’s journal, we’re embarking on a voyage into the adobes of the consciousness and the hidden chambers of the mind.

Since writing our last journal, I have had the realization that my trauma, and a few other people’s obvious trauma around me, stems from a pattern of emotional neglect or unresolved conflicts that have been repeatedly passed down through generations...

For this week’s journal, we’re going to be talking about a couple different ways trauma moves into our bodies unexpectedly and resides… almost like a bad tenant you can’t evict…

Since I always try my hardest to be as open and raw and honest as possible with you, I though that it’d be fun to give you an insight into my first journal entry, and reflect on it, as it truly helped the inspiration for this website, my passion for writing, and the person I am discovering myself to be…

We’re doing a gratitude journal this week… Sometimes, in life, when the sun starts to set just under the horizon of the sea and the sky fades from a pastel ombre to the nightly shade of black, and the moon pulls the tide closer and closer to the shore, turning into the bay… I like to remind myself that even though at night the beauty of the white sand beaches get lost under the water, by day, they’re whole again… with new seashells to be discovered, and the violent waves are a little bit more controlled.

The exercise we’re going to be looking at this week from Rupi Kaur’s self workbook, “Healing Through Words”, is called “Get to the Root”, and it has to do with figuring out the root of some of our personal problems or why some of our personal problems are so deeply rooted in us…

My mind has been in a weird mood lately. I’ve always heard of people talk about how they can hear their subconscious voice speak about the things they suppress in the back of their brain and I’ve always believed them, but never experienced it (or acknowledged it I should say) until recently…

Personally, I have been a little bit emotional this week. However, I don’t mean emotional in the way that I can’t stop crying, but in the way that…

The exercise we’ll be looking at for this weeks journal also comes from Rupi Kaur’s self-healing and writing workshop book, “Healing Through Words”, and has to do with explaining heartbreak to a 5 year-old. When I first stumbled across this exercise, I honestly didn’t really understand the meaning of it…

Within this exercise, I am asked to write two different paragraphs, the first paragraph is asking me to revise a moment from my life where I lost something and felt convinced I’d never experience anything as great again. Paragraph one for me looks a little something like this…

I just don’t feel particularly like myself this week and I think it’s only fair that I share a little bit about it with you…

About a year ago when I was in therapy this was a topic I continuously kept talking about and my therapist advised me to try writing letters about the situations, people, problems, etc… that I have trouble letting go of. For this weeks journal, I figured I’d share a piece of a letter I penned to someone…

Because of this situation causing me to see the emotional growth within myself, I feel that it is only appropriate to give you a little update on myself and the version of him I have grown into for this week’s journal…

This week we’re going back to, Rupi Kaur’s book, “Healing Through Words”, as I navigate us through the waters of “revisiting my younger self”, which is the name of this writing exercise. In this exercise…

When someone breaks our trust, the process of learning to trust them again is much more of a journey that it was to begin with…

I remember the very first time I experienced anxiety…it was in March of 2018, I was home alone this night and was at the very beginning of…

Forgiveness to me is not a necessity but rather a luxury because only YOU can produce the positive, reliving feeling to someone once you tell them “I forgive you”…
