I spent much of my life, rejecting my emotions. They were weapons used against me. It was logical and I was justified to shun my emotions to protect me. I had reached Khalinar. The state of pure logic. I was cold, a machine, systematic, and completely logic. I was no longer human. In this state […]
Taking back the power
I need to talk and I think I finally have it in me to talk. There’s a lot so… Everything snowballed these last few weeks and it all just kind of hit the bottom this week. I have BPD, PTSD, Bipolar, am in weekly therapy sessions with CBT and DBT along with two meds. I’ve […]

Social Concepts
Today on AVBC, Aurelia interviewed Charlene Jones, author of The Stain. Ms. Jones touched on a plethora of topics that hit home with me on many levels. When the interview ended, my head was swimming with thoughts. I recorded these four videos in reply.
