Mental and Emotional Quicksand
Perception Can Be Deceiving Normally, I try to write as an outsider or in a broad concept point of view. I don’t write or post anything that is analytical of myself, my life, or the like. In fact, normally while reading my public posts, you won’t see the word “I” come up that often. It’s not my style to write from a point of self or that isn’t about a fictional character or the reader’s perspective. It makes sense though, after all, that is how we are taught to write in order to have our work accepted and relatable to the masses.

Learning to Swim, Trying to Die
Don't breathe. Just don't breathe. You'll be okay, as long as you don't breathe. The water softened the sounds of anger and fear from the world above. I could feel my father's fingertips digging into the back of my head holding me under. Forcing me to learn, or die. I was nine years old and I couldn't swim. My father had enough. It wasn't alright for me to be afraid. He had to make a man out of me. He had to make me someone that didn't make him ashamed.

Struggling with school work, but some are slowly falling into black holes that they don't know how to get out of by themselves.

The Pressure of a Teenager
My emotions are in a bottle. The lid is somewhere around my chest and it hurts as it tightens. Twisting to keep everything inside, so that nothing leaks out. But they weren’t always like this. They used to pour out of my body like a broken fountain.

Giving Voice - Part 2
These are my favorite kinds of days, warm sun, and cold breeze. It is perfect hoodie weather. So, I took a walk. I listened to some classics on my headphones and did my best to ignore the vehicles flying by. It reminds me a lot of my life right now, just trying to keep my head down and ignoring the near misses flying by. I remember being actively engaged in life, much like one would remember a favorite childhood birthday, pleasant and warm but foggy and without detail.

“I Want To Die, Please Help Me live!”
Words fail me when describing the day that I wanted to take my life. The very thought of attempting to write about that dark chapter led me first not to a pen or a piece of paper but back to those ambivalent and all-consuming emotions that I never wanted to recall; moments I wanted erased from my memory forever.
