5 Times When I Can't Help But Be Myself
I cannot isolate one instance out of the millions of moments my true self has burst through the shell I inadvertently encase it in. My joy, rage, creativity, sorrow, and passion are sealed into an enclosure with no windows, circulation, or sunshine. I will refuse to diminish all the times the best parts of myself were able to escape captivity. So, here are 5 general times when I can’t help but be myself.

5 Ways to Manifest Inner Peace
1. INSERT YOUR PERSONALITY/ INTERESTS WHENEVER OR HOWEVER YOU CAN A job can really feel like a job. Even if this will not be your profession you want it to feel like your destiny. It should feel like every day you are being fulfilled even if they are making you feel like a cog in a machine. You know you are more. You have to be more. I know you are because I am more. You are more than a body. Your input is valuable. It is necessary and influential. No matter where your workplace is or what your position asks of you, you bring your individualism to your environment. Play the music you like. Smile big or frown purposefully. Personalize your space. Celebrate what you feel is of importance. Display the things/ people that elevate your spirit. Wherever you are your best self, bring that version to the place you hate the most. I guarantee you; you will hate it less. Remember who you were when you got to that workplace. Were you optimistic? Did you have ideas you wanted to add to the organization? Make the jokes that make you laugh the hardest or wait until you get home and laugh about your co-workers with people you like. If you are like me, and you like the people you work with, appreciate them. Take advantage of your lunch time. Talk to them. Not about work but about their life. Be a support. Be a sounding board. Be the real laugh machine. Listen to their stories.

How I Managed to Not Create One Story for the 8-Part Summer Fiction Series
Summer steadily seeped through grates we thought had been sealed. 2020 was inconceivable. 2021 has been the embodiment of the residual effects of the catastrophic 2020. There was such a push to get back to normal, we forgot the inevitability of progression. Every story has a beginning, middle, and end. When the beginning is so treacherous, we often are desperate for the end. An ending we hope against probability will be fairytale-like.
