(A)lcohol (I)nks

The thing is you never know when you’re gonna meet the one. The one that changes you in ways beyond what you ever imagined. Someone who fills in your missing pieces. Someone who helps you find your light. Someone who sees with love Someone who loves to love. Someone who gives you butterflies. They make you smile all the time. Just the idea of them brings you joy. Joy is the goal of life. Why? So we can bring Joy with us when we die. And I just think the best way to find joy is th...

My Great Awakening

I've been carrying you with me for the last few years...  I don’t know why. I guess I’ve been feeling a bit lost.  I think you’re cute. I wanted to get to know you.  But I didn’t realize who you really were until recently.  I don’t know why. I guess it’s just the way we get taught to do life...  The truth gets lost in time.  I grew up. You went away...  Where did you go? I did not know.  But the older I got the worse things got for me, and I guess that’s when I started to think about why I en...

Red shoes

Red shoes.Pointed.Long legs.Seductive.Black pantyhose. Short skirt.A woman who knows how to make walking look goodSo good you wanna see her dance moves...Where is she going dressed like that anyway?She’s going where she doesn’t wanna go, isn’t she?That’s why she takes her steps slow...And the entire time she’s walking that fine line, she has thoughts running through her mind that make her wonder why she doesn’t stop, drop and roll.Why doesn’t she go back to who she was before?Before what?All ...

Home

I feel like a grey rainy day in May...But it’s a good day.The trees and flowers are blossoming, so outside looks nice and green. So it feels very healing...And inside I feel comfortable.It’s warm.Comfy.It smells like a good cup of coffee.Bacon and eggs.It feels like a healing home finally.So I guess you could say, we feel at Home today.And I have nice music playing behind me.I’m sitting at my desk, getting ready to dance these fingers on my keyboard....I’m dressed in sweats.A comfy hoodie tha...

One minute man

She wants to leave him.She’s sick and tired of being his mother when he’s supposed to be her lover.But they don’t make love anymore because he doesn’t act like a lover should. He’s lazy.Insecure. Angry. He acts like a baby, and so she has to take care of him and his kids. He thinks he can just come home from work and not do shit. He doesn’t think he should have to clean up and run errands, just because he has a job.He thinks he can sit back on the couch and relax while she does it all.But she...

Naysayers

The naysayers...The ones that wanna pull ya down when you're feeling up about something you find fun.The ones that wanna squish your bubble of feeling in love.The ones that wanna find a million different reasons why you shouldn’t do what you love.The ones that wanna poke holes in your imagination and take apart your vision. So they wanna make your goals feel stupid. Like you could never do it...Whatever it is, they wanna make your achievements seem like they aren’t that big of a deal.So the n...

New world

Sometimes bad things happen to other people because of us. Maybe it's something you did or said. Or maybe something bad happened to someone because of someone else but because you were there, and somehow it’s your fault things went the way they did....Either way, beating yourself for tragedies you caused or were involved with is really a selfish thing to do, because guess what?Blame, and shame and guilt only leads us to hating ourselves. And self-hate is destructive and the emotional pain the...

Orgasm

What I'm talkin' about is, just because you marry someone doesn’t mean they’re the one.It doesn’t mean the relationship is gonna last forever...Forever is an illusion. And just cuz you get married doesn’t mean you can’t have fun.Or be attracted to other humans.After all, we are all human.But marriage is like walking into a prison if you ask me because you’ve tied yourself and them in a knot, and now you’ve become one with someone, which blocks you off from yourself.So now instead of being fre...

D3 Deficiency

Yeah, it’s been a minute but I’m back with it. And no, I’m not the same girl. No... No, I’m not the same girl. I don’t know who I am exactly but you knew that already, so, I guess nothing has changed in that way, but I am different in a lot of ways. But everyone is changing nowadays so I’m not the only one feelin' a bit cray-cray. No. No, I'm not.  The world is shifting to a new frequency and what I know for sure is it is exciting. But change is never pretty.  In order to go to where...

no goodbye

She came and left just like that and that’s what’s been keeping me stuck. Cuz, when she came, she came in so fast...With so much intensity. So much passion and certainty. It’s like she knew me. She knew who I was and who I wanted to be and she helped me bring out those parts of me, that was missing.And I never loved someone as much as I loved her, so quickly. She had this effect.It’s hard to describe it because on the surface it isn’t obvious.Not at all. But when she touches you the way she t...

Grace of God

What I know about pain is that it is a sign to change. When things get hard in some way...Whether it’s on the inside, or on the outside, if it hurts then you’re on the verge of an emergence, OK?Maybe it’s a new version of yourself...A new version of something else.Maybe it’s the death of something and thus, the birth of what’s next. But that’s the great thing about change, it’s always happening. There is no ending and beginnings, simply new chapters. And thus, I want to remind myself that eve...

the imprinting

Yo, look don’t be offended when I call you a Monster Ok.That’s just your monster makin' ya feel that way, which is precisely why you need to do the work to change your programming.If you did, then you would feel the difference in your cells, and then you wouldn’t act out in ways that make your Monster come out, ya dig?And that’s why I’m saying, don’t take this personal cuz it’s not personal bro... It’s just a byproduct of growing up raised by Monster's parents, who had Monster parents, who ha...

Divine timing

What comes of this? This pandemic and the crash of the economy and all the layoffs and the job losses? There has to be a bigger plan. God wouldn’t kick us down and then keep us there, for that wouldn’t be fair.  So there is always something better on the other side of despair. But in the meantime, how do we bridge the gaps between falling apart and putting ourselves back together? I don’t know. Something like this is pretty fucked up and I don’t think we’ve done this before. But I don...

Falling Apart

What comes of this?This pandemic and the crash of the economy and all the layoffs and the job losses? There has to be a bigger plan.God wouldn’t kick us down and then keep us there, for that wouldn’t be fair. So there is always something better on the other side of despair.But in the meantime, how do we bridge the gaps between falling apart and putting ourselves back together?I don’t know.Something like this is pretty fucked up and I don’t think we’ve done this before.But I don’t think it was...

whole again

It’s hard for people to be themselves when deep down, or not that far down, they actually hate themselves.That’s why so many people struggle to be in love.That’s why they suffer from depression.That’s why they get angry and upset, and that’s why they bully and act out in ways that look like rage.It’s cuz they aren’t free to be themselves.So it’s like your monster is always shooting you in the foot, causing you to feel bad about yourself. So it’s hard to take the right steps forward if your fe...

Beverley

I dedicate this art story to my grandmother Beverley, who is here right now, by the way...Hi Bev. I love you...Losing someone you love...Feeling the effects of grief when you're young...old...Either way, it’s so hard to know how to process the emotions, which is why most of us don’t.I know I didn’t.And I know it’s what it killed me more than anything. Carrying them around for so long was so hard and heavy. And I didn’t realize it was happening until I was forced to go within and look at why I...

The hood

Most of us come from hard starts.We have rough childhoods that cause us to create rough adulthoods, and so most of us are stuck in the hood.And we all know the hood ain’t pretty.The hood can humble you...But the hood can humble you if you let it. The hood can teach you how to fend for yourself.The hood gives you stories to learn from if you’re willing to do the work. But to learn is a choice, isn't it?Just like it’s a choice to wake up and brush your teeth...To read and to empower yourself wi...

Good sex

It’s a good day to be alive....Cuz this is now. Yesterday was then. Tomorrow is coming but it’s not for certain, my friend. Tomorrow is an illusionIllusion aren’t real.Illusions are real if you think they’re real.What is real anyway?Oh, something you can see...Ok.Seeing is perspective, and perspective changes everything.What is everything?All of the things we can imagine?So then everything is fake if imagination isn’t real. So nothing is real.But no thing is something if you want it to be. Li...

Dead to me

Hey bro, what's up with you?Not much. Just been thinking about stuff. Like what?Oh, you know how I made a plan but it didn’t go as planned.I dunno what happened and to be honest, I have no idea where I am and I don’t know what’s happening or what the fack I’m supposed to do next. And I hate that cuz I like to know what to expect. All I can tell you is I’m being forced to do things that seem pretty pointless.She calls it self-soothing and she says it's worth the time it takes.And I’m like, thi...

People

These ones for you...I’ve been thinking about you.  You Black people. You White people. You yellow people. You red people. Orange people. Green people.   Blue people. Purple people. Rich people. Poor people. People with a limp. People with a lisp. People with cancer, Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, MS, fibromyalgia, diabetes, Hashimoto’s, Crohn’s, chronic fatigue, heart disease. People who are gay, people who are straight. People who are bi. People who lie. People te...

Die

We usually don’t realize how much something is fucking us up until about ten years after the trauma.I think that’s because we’re not taught how to deal with emotions, so no one does. Instead, we run away from them. We distract ourselves.We find things to do that feel good and it usually involves doing things that doesn’t do a body good.That’s how our Monsters get worse.It’s what happens when you shut your emotions off. When you ignore them.It’s literally the same as closing the door in someon...

psychological warfare

Yeah so I got a lot to say, there's a lot of things I've been thinking about lately and I just wanted to share them with you cuz it seems to me, it seems to me, it seems to me, that there’s a lot of strange things going on behind the scenes, and I don’t know about you but I just don’t think anything is what it seems.Too many questions and too much chaos happening all at once and look at what it’s doing to us? It's making us fight for justice.Fight for equality.Fight to stop history from once ...

GaryVee

Yeah, yeah, yeah, so my weakest color energy is orange yo, which is why I find it hard to be entrepreneur yo, even though I know I am one, it's in my blood bro. But so is the energy from my karmic imprinting, which is a lot of fear and uncertainty so it makes it really hard for me to believe I can achieve my dreams. And it's not that my dreams are really that big of a deal if you ask me. It's not that they were unrealistic. More than anything, more than anything, more than anything, I just wa...

toxic situation

Hey, it's me again...I was just wondering...Do you wish you didn’t leave so much?Do you wish you around more for her when she was young? When she was being controlled and manipulated by him...Do you wish you did more to stop it?To step in and take her out of that toxic situation.Do you wish you fought harder to protect her so she didn’t become a victim?I know she wishes you did.Because she deals with the grief every day, to this day.She wishes someone cared enough to stop what was happening. ...

you died

I don’t even know you...Do I?I mean, I remember pieces of you.I remember your smell and the way your home felt. I remember your laugh and the way you held your glass of wine and the way you looked when you were having a good time.And I remember you liked to have a good time. I think that’s why I loved about you so much....You showed me what it was like to have fun. To be in love. To feel loved. But, sometimes I wonder if maybe I made you up?Or maybe what I remember of you is only like 1% of y...

the crimes

Yo, what's up?Not much, ummm but I do confess, I just wanna get something off my chest. It's not that I'm upset, it's just that I have this weight of resentment I’ve been carrying since you did what you did. Because the truth is I tried to pretend it didn’t happen, but I know it did because I know things I sometimes wish I didn’t. So I confess, I always saw the inconsistencies in you but I didn’t wanna believe they were true.I have a tendency to see the good in people even though they aren’t ...

good friends

I'm just sitting here thinking about her and I wonder what she’s like now.I wonder if she’s become a better version of herself and if she loves herself unconditionally...I wonder if she has a good relationship with her kids and I wonder if she’s a good parent. A good mother? I wonder if she’s a good lover...Is her marriage to her husband fulfilling?Are they happy or does she just pretend to be?Does her work make her feel good and is she still growing?Is she happy where she’s going...where she...

Sunny days

It’s fascinating to see a bright sunny day be invaded by a dark dreary cloud in less than an hour, which changes the vibe entirely. The sun feels nice. Like love. Like fun. Like hope. Like, let’s get out and do stuff, ya know? But the dark clouds bring downpours that make you wanna stay inside and daydream about brighter tomorrows... Which doesn’t actually exist.  But it’s nice to imagine, isn’t it? Yes, yes it is... But this is life, isn’t it... A steady stream of light and dark. Yeah...

a maze

Guess what?Guess what, guess what, guess what, guess what?I think I’m fucked.I think I’m stuck in a maze cuz I've feel like I’ve been going down the same path over and over again for days...Weeks. Months. Years.I dunno how long it's been but it's been a long time like this. So it feels like I’m stuck in this relentless loop, of false highs and true lows.So sometimes I think I’m going somewhere good and I think I’m on the right track. But then after thinking that for so long, and nothing reall...

the fall

It was CostaRica, February 2016, one month before the fall.....I'm not talkin' about the kind of fall where you trip and land on a bed of down feathers...No. It wasn’t like that at all. I'm talkin' about the kind of fall that hurts almost as bad as being stabbed to death would.  Not that I would know, I've never actually been stabbed to deathBut it felt like what I imagine being stabbed to death would feel like. And it hurt.So it's the kind of fall that happens when you're running full speed ...

Angel Pose

The one thing that will always have humans freaking out like level 10 is anything that affects their health.So why WHY WHY WHY do we take it for granted all the time?Oh, I know...We hate ourselves....Well, they do.I don’t hate myself, but I used to so I know how it looks.And that’s what I see when I look at people from the inside out.Which is what I do.I just can’t help myself.And what I usually see is the layers and the lines that they don’t see, and I see all the low frequencies imprinted i...

the systems

YO, so it's obvious there's a lot of fear ruling the world right now, but that's because all the lies we’ve been telling ourselves are starting to really reveal themselves.The lies about how happy we are and the lies about how reliable our systems are.The systems we put our money in to, and the systems use to take care of our health. And the systems we use to consume the news. And the systems we use to go to school. And the systems we use to punish people for doing things that aren’t cool.The...

Awakening

Yo, yo remember that COVID virus I sent in to do some awakening?Yeah well, humans think that's the biggest threat to their existence right now but it's not. The virus was just sent in as a way to create the symptom that needed attention.And it worked.But why it’s working is not for the reasons we think it is. In fact, it’s a very complicated situation because there's a million different layers to a story, especially this story, so there’s so much we can’t see.There’s so many lies on top of th...

mirrors

What's up?Not much, but I'm having some problems going on, I guess...I haven't been able to look in the mirror lately.I don’t know why...But I just think it’s probably because she doesn’t look well or something. She’s also aging rapidly, and she has crows feet.Her eyes now have heavy bags of dark circles and her skin on her chin is sagging and I can't catch it. And it’s hard for me to see it happening because I know where it’s going. It’s like watching a train crash in really slow motion, ya ...

hidden stressors

Yeah, so I just wanted to go back to what I was saying before, and ya know the truth is, she hates the way she is....She hates that she has a monster that she can't control. She hates that she does things that only makes things worse.But it makes sense because she’s been through a lot, and she never dealt with it.So it has momentum...And she just pretends that those things didn’t happen by covering them up, by doing things like, drinking a lot.Cheating on her lovers.Eating too much.Not giving...

my demise

Things will get better....That’s what they say when they try to convince you that you should stay.But what they don’t realize is how long you’ve been telling yourself that same phrase. How many days you’ve gone through miserable, but you try to pretend you’re cool.You try to find a way to feel good in spite of your pain. In spite of feeling trapped in a prison, you can't escape. You try to pretend that things will get better so you fake it hoping to make it, but nothing ever changes... So the...

good lie

People lie...All the time.But why?What makes us make things up?Oh...I know.Fear. Fear of what?Well, it could be from lots of stuff. Sometimes we lie to make the truth seem bigger and better than what it was. Or maybe we lie to do the opposite...To play down what really happened so it’s less fun. Or not as bad as it seems, sorta thing.So in some way, shape, or form, we lie to protect ourselves from the consequences of not following a code of conduct. Of not keeping a promise. Of not honoring y...

immune system

Yo, yo, I just got some breaking news...We are all at risk of dying one day...And I dunno if this is breaking news for everyone or just me, but what I’m finding about this new news I just received, is that it makes me less worried about stupid things. Things like viruses and disease. Mainly because I already had both and I’m still here, so I know it’s hard to die if it’s not your time.I also know that worrying about those things is actually worse then getting something like one of those thing...

she cheated

I knew this chick.She was cool as shit.But she did some shit that I wasn’t cool wit.What was it?Well, she cheated on her boyfriend and he was my friend. And for the longest time, she made it look like he was the bad guy. That he hurt her. And he broke her heart and that’s why she was so messed up.But come to find out, what really happened was, he loved her more than she wanted to be loved. More than she’s ever been loved.And she just didn’t know how to handle it and it made her Monster freake...

half dead

Hello...Is anyone there?I don’t think anyone is there?Who cares...Just say what you gotta say.It don't matter anyway...Ok...Well, I just wanted to say...For the record, that there is definitely a part of me that is dead, and I didn’t kill her, someone else did.And that might be the reason I killed other pieces of myself, as a way to cope with who I’d become, as a way to protect myself. And now I'm starting to think, that’s probably why I don’t feel very well.I’m missing very important pieces ...
