How to heal fully and properly.
THE JOURNEY BACK TO ME
I have been told over the years how amazing I am. I am not sure I would call myself amazing, but I would call myself a survivor. We all have a past, we have all made choices, and we all have to decide how we react and respond to those. Here is my story.

Bird-man
There once lived a man. He was called the Bird-man by all who knew him. He lived far away from civilization in a house all by himself. Those who knew of his past never spoke of it, wether by choice or of forbiddence, I'll never know. It was rumored that the only times he would leave the house was to feed the birds.

Honouring Our Anger To Heal
I've had a strange relationship with anger. You could class me as having been an angry child. I threw tantrums, I had rages that would last for hours. I was bitter, disappointed in life and in the people around me. And I continued that conversation with anger into my adulthood.

The Journey
To have two voices inside your head; it’s excruciating. A loud, relentless voice that insists on smashing your self-confidence to pieces. There it is reminding you that, “you’ve never been good at anything”. Over and over it sneers, “why did you even think you could do this?” It’s taunting, “you’ll never excel at anything.” That annoying voice has a LOT to say.

The journey to finding yourself
Many of us are on that self discovery journey of 'finding ourselves'. Often many, especially women feel that they need to take some time out from their current routine of life to break away and go and find themselves. Often this can involve taking a trip to somewhere new by themselves, or breaking up with a partner, so they have more time to focus on themselves and can devote all the time to this journey.

Finding Power in Pain
What can pain do for us vs. TO us? Finding our Power in Pain. We have explored the power of music and how it helps us navigate our difficult emotions, and now it is time to look at pain. Finding our power when in pain and finding the power of pain.

2020
We are here. It is finally the year 2020. We ended another decade and about to start to a new one. I know there’s a lot of things to look back on and reflect in these past ten years. Some good & bad days, our best moments and worst moments. Some lessons we learned. Ten years is a lot, right? Anyone can relate how these lessons they have taught you something and these are some things to help you go into the new decade.

To the people who rejected us: thank you!!!
We have all experienced rejections by people that we thought they were the “one”. As painful as it might seem initially, our friends are there to remind us that everything happens for a reason and someone else is out there for us. It is comforting to have that “wise” piece of advice, but it doesn’t seem to help us feel better and we think we will not get over it.

The Limitation of Labels
Everything in life is labeled in some way. It starts from the moment of our birth. We are automatically labeled as male or female. We celebrate this with gender reveals and pinks and blues. It’s the way that we were taught and that’s the way most of us think that the world is. It’s true because that’s what the world does. From the second that we are born, we are put into a box and we are expected to stay in that box. But for some of us, we discover that those labels are uncomfortable. We go on with our lives and we continue to function in that box and even confirm that box. But there is more to us. We are scared to scribble outside of the lines. We are taught to care about what other people think so we come to the conclusion that we are stuck in that box.

Who are you?
It's funny how many of us do not know quite how to answer that question. Most of us give a short version of the answer. For many, this can feel like a loaded question. Sometimes the response requires a bit more self-reflection than one would like to admit. Truth is the majority of us do not like self-evaluation, especially in response to another individual. But what if this particular question was self-imposed? When was the last time you did an identity check? There is nothing wrong with a routine identity check-in.
