Treat Yourself: The Best Gifts Men Can Give Themselves
With so much going on at the moment, it's easy for men to ignore the importance of self-care. One of the fun things about manhood is that you never fully grow out of being a child, and no one expects you to. After all, boys will be boys, right?

Words
There's a special language within you. Honestly, how would you know if nobody told you, right? I use to be afraid to do something amazing at one point in my life. So it kept me from bringing out more potential, a lot earlier. Now, were just getting started! See, I found my language, so I'm here to write to you today. Through experience, don't ever neglect to love yourself on the inside. Don't forget about you. The sooner you start to realize that, is the earlier your progress can step forward and start speaking for you. The language you speak within, is the compass that can hinder you, or direct you, healthily. Of course there are mistakes that are made a long the way, but when you find your language. Oh man, what does it take to speak a language? A Voice! You knock out two birds with one stone. Finding your voice, saying no to the chit chatter around you (inside yourself), and saying YES to the greater things that are meant for you.

Letting Go to Hold On
The above video by YouTube channel Einzelgänger is about the Taoist perspective on letting go. Being in a flow state is mentioned many times throughout Taoist teachings and it's something I struggle with. There's a part in the video discussing how an archer who is fixated on a material prize will not shoot as well as he truly can because the focus is on the future rather than the present. As a future thinker myself, that really hit me.

What RuPaul, Anna Wintour and Annie Leibovitz taught me about Creativity
Last week I decided to make a purchase and I invested in the Masterclass app. Drawn in by the people who were giving their advice and perspectives, people who are at the top of their games. I took the bait.

Nothingness
I want you to try something for the day. Put the book down,you will not need it. Drop the phone,it will not ring. Don't do anything at all today. Don't read, do homework,watch TV,make your bed,listen to music,nothing. Just sit and watch the time go by, listen to the sound of the clock as it ticks with each passing second. Look around and see all you have missed out on.

The Story of Courage
I can't remember a time when I have looked at life through both eyes and heart but now I do. Our eyes see one thing but our hearts feel another depending on what we see and feel. I am proud to be part of U.S. Army National Guard. I remember first time I was in it took me a while to figure out why I joined and for what purpose. I got in 2012 and got out 2017 due to family. Now its 2020, I am glad I am back in. Before I joined military I was always discouraged and let things bother me easily. Some people have told me I wouldn't get anywhere in life. My mother was one of them. She had always been mentally abusive to me and wouldn't let me do what I want to do with my life. In 2012, I have had enough. I wanted to do something for me and my child. So I had made my decision and enlisted and I am glad I did. I did my time till 2017. I had to get out due to family. I had another beautiful baby girl and my man was in military. Through the years that followed, something had triggered my brain. In my heart, it came to me that I need to reenlist and do better for myself and my family. I talked to my man and he wasn't to keen about it because of his opinions. Again, I don't' care about my mom's or his opinions. What matters is what I do with my life and my decision. I reenlisted and I am glad I did because I miss my job in military. First time I was in I loved it and enjoyed every minute of it. To see other soldiers eating and putting a smile on their face made my day great. It filled my heart with happiness knowing that my brothers and sisters are fed and taken cared of. Through these tough times, I realize my job in military is more than just feeding and defending. It has to deal with that people are fed, taken cared of, helped, encouraged , and feeling love and wanted. The way I look at things and people have opened my eyes and heart big time. I know a lot of people are scared because of COVID19, but there is nothing to fear. There are a lot of brave men and women doctors, nurses, first responders, law enforcements, and military personnel out there helping and fighting against COVID19. We are never alone in this world. There are people out there that will destroy others emotionally like my mom and others. But then there is also people that will help you emotionally and encourage you to get better, stay safe, and safe distance. There is no reason for people to bring others down during these hard times. As humans, we need to be there for each other. Where I work I see some people that don't give a bear about others because they think they are better than others. I have learned over the years since first in military, that slowly but surely we will get through anything. Despite how people feel towards each other we need to stand up and help. No matter how life goes, we have the courage to make it better and be there for each other. Don't let no one control your life and hurt you emotionally. We have the power to make our life better and no one get deep into your skin. We have the courage to help each other and give hearts out.

Are You Scared Of Your Thoughts?
In the 1800’s, people believed that the air they breathed would cause extreme sickness. People. Just like you and I. The fact that the cities they were living in were having waste dumped into the water supply was an afterthought. The “toxic air” wasn’t toxic at all. They were just drinking their neighbors waste unknowingly. No big deal.

MOVE BITCH! GET OUT THE WAY!
There was a fire burning, deep inside my gut. I could feel it ever since I was a little kid. That I was supposed to be something, do something more. I remember standing in my bedroom, my favourite rap or metal music playing at full blast out of my Memorex CD player, pretending that it was me. Thinking that I was going to be the next big thing, that I was going to be in front of millions of people, my music and my words changing peoples lives.

Why to Write
Writing can be an escape from reality but is not confined to just that. Writing can also be a tool to better understand reality. Writing helps communicate to others more clearly and can even be a way to better understand yourself. Writing also helps us learn from our experiences. Writing is an incredibly powerful instrument and can: explain, teach, amplify your voice, and even persuade people.
