10 Negative Side Effects Of a Spiritual Awakening Nobody Talks About
A spiritual awakening is a real phenomenon - you suddenly see through the veil of society and can't continue living your old life any longer. You realize that our present humanity is very far removed from what really matters: to love and let love.

The Stigma of Mental Health
Have you ever heard of the word stigma? The shame of a particular circumstance, being marked as different this is a sad fact in our society. Being told there is something wrong with being different. Feeling different in a certain way.

Introverts vs. Extroverts
There's a lot of talk about introverts and extroverts, whether it be personality tests to find out which one you are, or memes about one of the two being better than the other, or articles about 'how to survive' as an introvert in an extroverted world (or vice versa), etc. And while most, if not all, of it is relevant, I'd like to suggest a slight reframing on how we view these concepts. It might be more helpful, in many ways, to view it in terms of energy.

Totally Addicted To Stress
It's no secret that addiction comes in so many forms, whether that’s alcohol, weed, body image, technology, money, sex, or food. The list goes on, but I was totally shocked by the idea that I could be hooked on my own stressful thinking.

Pearl of Wisdom
As a person who has experienced a near-death experience (NDE), I think that in the last nearly 12 years since I did nearly die, I've come to realize that my life has been something of a rebirth, just like a phoenix rising from the ashes, and I've been working diligently to establish myself as a writer since.

My Spiritual Awakening &
My first awakening experience was on a road trip with a guy I barely knew. I had just moved back to Dallas, TX, my hometown, and in with my mother, after my life in Los Angeles had completely fallen apart (unpaid parking tickets and traffic violations (thousands of dollars worth) combined with the inability to work a 9-5). A friend of mine’s ex-boyfriend, let’s call him Rob, reached out to me saying he’d heard I was going through a rough time and asked if I would want to join him and his friend on their cross-country road trip. I told him I didn’t want to crash guy’s time but he assured me I was welcome, so I said ok. “We’ll pick you up in two weeks”. Two weeks later he and his friend, let’s call his friend Michael, arrived at my mother's doorstep. I was instantly attracted to Michael. We all made our introductions and then went out for dinner. At this time in my life I was still drinking heavily and my dinner was a few martinis. After dinner we all went back to my mom’s house and went for a swim in the pool. Rob decided he wanted to go back inside leaving Michael and me all alone. Naturally, we got naked and … made love. I don’t remember it (this used to be an extremely common occurrence for me, not remembering the night before when I was drinking) but I do remember waking up with him next to me the next morning and making eggs together. Michael would just drop these random gems, like, while making our morning-after eggs he casually told me, “My dad taught me it’s always best to go slow”. I was, of course, rushing the eggs. Michael was the one who first taught me that “everyone is fighting a major battle. You never know what someone is going through.” He reminded me of my heart. (My time in LA had hardened me and I had become harsh & judgmental.) He was the first person I knew who gave food to homeless people. Growing up I was told that homeless people were “faking it”, and that they were all con artists.

Looking back is always a good lesson as long as we continue moving forward and achieving our goals and dreams. When I was little I went through growth and changes that brought me from wanting to be a Teacher to a Mommy, and then to an Insurance Broker. I have wanted to own a crystal store, read cards, make jewelry, write. Every passion I have is creating and I am looking to find a way to make this my path. My journey. Seems I've always been insterested in office work, selling something, ringing up customers, helping people. Customer Service is a very hard job and often completely unappreciated.
