Learning to Love Reading (More)
It’s true what they say, if you want to get good at your craft, you have to PRACTICE! There are two people that come to mind when I emphasize that word, but I’m not going to tell you that reference LMAO. Anyway, I’ve been reflecting on my journey as a writer lately. So, last year…

How I Value My Mental Health
I reflected on this question and oscillated between how and why. Then, I thought, the how was much better than the why because the why will get me into a spiral. How has a much simpler approach, and I can simply list the ways I do value my mental health rather than provide just one…

Escaping Reality
Before I say anything, yes, I’m really fine. I’m okay. I’m getting used to my semi-solitude (LOL is that even a thing HAHA) and learning what I can do for myself to make every single day livable. I think the reason I prefer binge-watching TV shows or doomscrolling (which is counterintuitive to what I’m escaping…

Rebuilding a Healthier Relationship with Writing
“Do what you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life.” I’m angry at the fuckface that said these words. I lived by this “adage” when I graduated from college, since my late grandmother said something similar to this. I don’t fault her for saying it, though. I partly understand where…

Centering, Grounding, and Discipline
I’ve had a few ideas in these past few weeks that I’ve been meaning to write about. However, it didn’t feel right for me to write them. This one, however, I knew I had to make something out of it. It starts like this. But quick note: I’ve been watching The Great for around two…

Feeling Stuck
I feel stuck. That’s what I generally feel lately. Oh, also, uninspired. Yeah, basically stuck and uninspired. I think I know when this all started, but I’d rather not go into so much detail as it will reveal things that can get back to people, which can jeopardize things for me. Many would say that…

Purpose and Mortality (feat. Grief)
I’m not sure how this topic came about. It’s probably a mix of me watching some TV shows or movies or simply ruminating over many things in life. One of the reasons I started Find My Flourish was to find my purpose. Or, at least, some semblance of it. But one thing that popped into…

Wounds and Worthiness
I’m not anyone’s first choice. I think of these words when I feel left out or excluded. It’s such a powerful statement, actually. It stings. I realized that after getting triggered over something recently, and it felt painful. I’ve never been the go-to by many people. I’m not someone people go for a conversation for.…

Celebrating a Career
When I was a child, I wanted to be a cashier or secretary. I didn’t have high hopes for myself even then. That is to say that these are NOT lowly professions. I’m just not ambitious enough. I wanted to be a cashier because for some reason I wanted to work the cash register. While,…

Musings: Inadequacy
I feel inadequate. I typed those three words in my notepad after going into a spiral one night. I haven’t had these negative thoughts in a while. Meditation keeps me at bay, and it’s easier for me to quiet my thoughts for a couple of minutes. Plus, through therapy, I could counter my thoughts. However,…
