Thank You Vocal
Introduction This morning I got up and checked the last story that I shared on Vocal. It was very experimental for me and I had intended for it to be a story based on one of my Tarot decks, the Occult Deck, but it actually turned out to be more like a reading rather than a story. A friend asked me if I ever did readings and I said no, I didn't really know what I was doing with them but just love how beautiful some of these decks are. This was the story.

Emotional Triggers
Do you recognize those super-reactive places inside you that come to be activated by someone else's words or habits? That sensation you have when a person makes a remark that might not be a massive bargain, but for some reason, it leaves you mad, anxious, or agitated?

Self-loathing And Mediocrity Is Never a Life
To be human, no need to envy others, and no need to spend time envying how others are successful, thinking as long as they can overcome themselves, and how to become stronger than yesterday's self on the line. Their refinement and persistence, coupled with their wisdom and hard work, will be successful. Will eventually become a stone Buddha as respected by everyone.

To My Inner Child
I don't know how to start telling you words that I couldn't tell you before, until now. No matter what you go through in life, or what happens to you, or what is said to you, don't take it personally. Listen to me, it's for your mental health, it's for you to not to get hurt. I'm afraid, I can't stop that from happening. This is why I couldn't write to tell you the things that I know that you will have to face one day. But, with my guidance, it won't be so hard, you are going to make it and you will win all the challenges in life. Keep this in mind, NOTHING is happening to you, but its for your best. I promise. You love so much and you don't know when to stop or know when it is real. We didn't get the emotional support and love we wanted as kids, so we were looking for a special love in basically every boy that was cute. But don't do that. Life at home will be really hectic, our parents fighting and passing out drunk will make you runaway. You will be afraid and want to seek a boy to make you feel safe. It will depending on who you meet and get to know. I don't think I can stop that either. Oh boy! I love you and I will guide you along the way. I will be that positive silent voice that you can't hear, you will just know it's me. Listen to me!!

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Working at Ulta During the Pandemic
I’ve always loved makeup, so when I found myself jobless during a pandemic, I put in an application at my local Ulta Beauty. I’d always thought it would be difficult to get a job working with makeup, so I did a few Google searches to prepare myself for the interview. Some Ulta workers said that they were expected to have perfect hair, nails, and makeup, so I decided it would be best to try looking my best.

Breath into Her
They tell me to breath life into her, but that's what I'm afraid of. They say "Maybe you're not healing from the past, because you're trying to be who you once were, and that person is gone. There is a new, strong being, trying to be born. Breath life into her, and let her come forth."

How OSHA Cost Me My Job
In October 2020, I started working at Michaels as a part-time Customer Experience Manager, or CEM for short. It wasn’t the greatest job, but I needed something, and I already was quite familiar with the craft world from working for a competitor as a store manager. I was never much of a fan of Michaels. Their stores always seemed dirty and their prices were often higher. Still, I liked some of the people with whom I worked, so it would work for a while.
