  • Finding Joy

    There are many unhappy people in this country which is ironic considering that the pursuit of happiness is written in the Constitution. They are unhappy with their economic status, their relationship status. Just mad at everything and everyone and although I understand because at times, I’m mad as hell too but it’s not healthy to…

  • Sick and Tired

    One of the worst things about epilepsy is that people think that you are exaggerating about the side effects of the anti seizure medication that you take to keep from having seizures.

It’s like death has been holding me in a tight clutch. To the point where I think about death entirely too much. Things that I…

  • How Organized Religion Has Fucked Up Black People For All Eternity

  • PTSD, Black Youth, Drugs, & The Lack of Empathy

    My daughter is 22 years old and she’s been through a lot mentally over the past eight years. She’s lost so many friends to murder on the streets of Chicago that it’s heartbreaking. Some of her classmates from grade and high school. Friends from the various neighborhoods we have lived in. So many lost children…
