Humanity
A mascot for injury.
Ice doesn’t work. Neither does heat. The supplements were a waste of money and now I have diarrhea to contend with on top of all this. It’s a long ways under and even farther going around when your disc is slipped. Should I use the electro shock thing? Did I have enough magnesium? Is it my psoas or QL? The arthritic hip? But the other one doesn’t feel like this. I’m telling you, that tear in 2016 did me in. Feels like it could be my kidney though. Another stone? The pain goes from here, alll the way down to here. And then sometimes my toes, but I think that’s something different. And my prostate of course, but who’s doesn’t? The urologist told me last time that alcohol can help flush it out, but I know it’s not a stone. That was different. Could still be a reason to drink though. How much Tylenol can I take if I finish the whiskey? How much whiskey do we even have left? I hope it’s enough. I should just drink water. Everything will be worse tomorrow if I get drunk tonight. Either way I should eat something. That means standing up. And that means getting off this floor. I’ll do it in a bit. Not now. Right now is the worst time I can think of.

Stairway to the Future
Mr transition that comes and goes, you help change from one thing to another as if nobody knows. You can be smooth or you can be tough, but somehow it’s never enough. Change is hard when you know what you want, starting new good habits and keeping some old ones to start. You fought your way through, the times that were most troubling, came out stronger, with some armor and molding. You lived in the moment and built some boundaries, now it’s time to transition into the life that’s worth living.

Dear Body, I'm Sorry...
The last two and half years has had its ups and downs, which has been the major culprit to the abuse I submitted myself to. When I finally realized this, I had to sit down and reflect to better understand where all this frustration, anger, self-abuse, and resentment came from. Prior to these years, I was on a good path filled with strength and happiness that I gained through self-therapy and love. However, the result of what I’ve been through caused me to lose my identity and fall into an abyss of familiar bad habits. Some of these life altering moments included:

The other side of fame... Features of exploitation to gain sympathy!
Yesterday Self-esteem had a price, and dignity was a value. Humans had a shelter, they had a “secret” that death was easier to disclose, everyone resorted to his safe corner when the current of days intensified on him, everyone keeps a special part about him that the other does not know about or dare to ask about its details. A black box in which the truth of man is hidden from the merciless looks of the world. The patient waits for his turn in the long examination without telling God’s creation that he is on the doorstep of the doctor, without a “selfie” for him and the medical tests that he takes on the treatment journey. The person who differs does not go out to the world to gain their sympathy The young man practices his childhood as it should be without jumping in time over his age to achieve “views or likes.” Yesterday, the human trade with his presence was not the title of the story.

Life's Purpose
There is no greater purpose in life than to serve others with the natural abilities that we were given at birth. I firmly believe that we all have a perception that can change, not just one person, but many around us that we come into contact with. In my opinion, there is nothing more fulfilling to me than creating something that changes someone else for the better in a split second. I stopped creating things for people because I doubted my ability to do so and the importance of my work:

Fuck or Fight
It just kind of sneaks up on you like a shadow on glass, there and gone, age and change that is. There really isn’t any warning. It’s just kind of happens while we’re not paying attention. We’re usually too busy doing not so important things to realize time is passing us by. I’m pretty sure that aging is the universe’s way of getting even with us for all the aggravation we’ve caused it. Change is its way of shitting on us for having shit all over it. It seems the two like to tag team us while hiding in the same dark recesses of our mind at the most inopportune time. Age and change will steal take whatever it can get, not quite like a gangbang but close enough that you feel as though you’ve been unduly violated when it’s done with you.

You Are The Hero Of Your Story. Top Story - January 2022.
Dearest You, The idea of writing to my biggest hero seems quite a daunting task. To whom would I write? The musicians who made life worth living for all those years? The authors who gave me a place to hide when I needed an escape? Those who I created in my mind as to not feel lonely? Who is my biggest hero? And it came to me; you. You are my hero. You, the disjointing, crumbling, soft girl perpetually in shambles. You, the resilient force of nature brought back from the ashes. You, in every shade in between. You, me.

Park Central Vibes
I’ve had the pleasure of working at several properties in New York City. After a couple of years over at the Doubletree by Hilton Metropolitan, I moved on over to its sister property. The Park Central Hotel, the realest property I have ever worked at and I have plenty of stories to tell!

Who is sober Brittany
Perhaps some of you wonder what drives a person to addiction and, sure, I could spin you the same old sorry tale; childhood trauma, untreated mental illness, pain over your missing schizoaffective little sister who you failed to help, blah, blah, blah. But what I really want to know is how in the Sam hell does anyone stay sober? Like seriously, reality really and truly blows and there are people out there just coping with it in some sort of healthy and productive manner. That's what's truly mind-boggling to me.
