One World, One Sound.
When I was 7 years old, rapper/producer Dr. Dre released his album 2001. I remember when that album first came out and how it was one of the biggest records in the world at the time. What I also remember about that album from when it first came out was that this was the first time I had ever seen young white children listening to Hip-Hop. Up to this point in my life I had never seen anyone who was not black listening to Hip-Hop music before and I really learned something from this. What I learned is how music brings together people from all backgrounds and walks of life.

Why is Nobody Is Willing to Admit the Obvious? - Monkeypox is a Biological Attack
Note: The following article is my opinion. It is informed by 25 plus years of micro/molecular biology research and development experience, including significant experience in the areas of bacterial/viral diagnostics. You are free to disagree with any and all aspects of it. Though I make no claims to correctness (I never do), I do suggest you should at least consider the possibility that it is correct, and the implications thereof. It is important also to note that "Vocal does not accept stories that present personally-held beliefs about others or unfounded conspiracies as fact, or that implicate others in those beliefs." Since this article is an opinion article, nothing within it should be taken as "fact", and no one specific individual or group of individuals is implicated. Finally their is no conspiracy suggested or even implied. If there is a conspiracy at play, it is only one of ignorance and wishful thinking run amok.

Not an actual doctor
I know! Random title but I hope it caught your eye. It’s true I am not a psychiatrist, counselor or a doctor. I am just a husband, father, warehouse manager, coach who suffers from being manic depressive along with PTSD from childhood trauma. I am not going to give you an actual doctors opinion, it’s not me. What I will give you is a part of my journey and advice on what I’ve experienced. So thank you for giving me a shot and reading this.

The Cautionary Nature of My Love Life
I never seem to learn. In some ways, I feel annoyed at being able to pinpoint the unhealthy aspects I allow in a relationship. But then, in other ways, I don't really mind because I am who I am. I am unlikely to change without receiving a whole lot of [necessary] therapy. I find myself in a squeezing and suffocating position of seeing an issue, drawing correlations from my past; and knowing the root of my toxic behaviors, and why I allow others to treat me poorly. Even more frustrating, I can pinpoint the same facets in my lover with ease. With a compassionate spirit, I sigh and nod wisely. My sensitive feelings hurt, I cry as I also play therapist: "There, there, I know you lash out because you fear commitment; and you fear commitment because your mother withheld nurturing love until she was strong enough to do so, which means you feel love is conditional and you fear that once you allow it in, it may be pulled away."

The Joys of packing
Ah, yes. That time again. After all that house hunting you’re approved to move! There is so much psychology in everything we do. As humans we process change whether we like it or not. It’s a hard kind of process. But you just get in there and do it. You let go of the past, you let go of attachments and in the present all you want to do is get it over and done with!

JuZ Untitled
The mind is such a vast part about being human. Your thoughts, your knowledge, your memory. They are all such powerful things. Yet, we can’t access it all. Lately my brain is trying to figure out how to put things into words. I question whether I should write about my life, or write about what I know. Maybe it’s both.
