Day 8,034
It’s day 8,034 and I’m reflecting on my time on earth.
Grief
I don’t have words for this feeling so I won’t pretend to fill the silence with knowledge that seems so far-fetched that I can’t even balance it on the tip of my tongue. I’m giving myself time. I pray you’re doing the same.

I hope you can find yourself in this poem. It speaks to the heavy weight of labels and the pitfalls of being misunderstood.
Breathing
Happy Free-Thinking Friday, today I want to share a piece entitled "Breathing". This will resonate with those who know breathing isn't easy and maybe shed some light for those who believe it is.
Coping Mechanisms
Coping Mechanisms allow you to handle life in a healthy way. Don’t ever allow someone to look down on you for the things that you do to stay healthy and alive. Happy Free-Thinking Friday!
