"Don't You Miss Drinking?". Top Story - April 2021.
I guess the best way to start this is just to dive right in. My name’s Emily, I’m an alcoholic and I’m very open about it, which, to each their own it’s anonymous for a reason, I’m just not a good rule follower. I know for a fact that it catches people off guard when I offer up this little morsel about myself. How do I know?

#BellLetsTalk pt. 2
Let’s talk about why we even need to talk. Why we need to talk but even more why we need to be listened to. Or about why we stay quiet although our actions may be cries for help. That our fears may overrule our tries at seeking help. That there are those out there suffering yet seem to enjoy making others suffer just as much or even worse. That being alone and being on your own get confused to the point where loneliness becomes great. That being not okay is not okay no matter how privileged one seems to be or how privileged ones are blessed to be. Being not ok is still not ok or ever meant to be an acceptable matter. That every life is important and we need to remember and embrace individuality so we may be able to find more to relate to on our story.

From Anxiety & Fear to Shining & Vibing!
I was under this overpass and the sounds of the cars passing over reminded me of my child hood. My parents would always take me to the park when I was little. We would go on walks and be outside together. I learned to ride my bike there. It was a very nostalgic moment. It was a happy memory.

The Cure That Wouldn't Come
I am seven, huddled in a corner of the bathroom, breath suspended. No one can see me behind this locked door. No one can hear me, either. I have mastered the art of crying noiselessly. But still I hold my breath, wait for the sounds of footsteps to pass.
