REDEMPTION
As we drove, my mother’s words were like background noise to me. “Jordana,” she asked, “why do you always seem so disoriented?” I realized that I was never fully present in the moment; instead, lost in my own world. There seemed to be an inexplicable hatred for the world and everything about it – including… Continue reading

CRAFTING YOUR THOUGHTS
The process of crafting content is akin to an art form. It draws inspiration from our surroundings, lived encounters with the world and people around us, shared concepts which stimulate creative thinking.

THICK AS THIEVES
The most devastating heartbreaks are those that happen within a friendship.

LEANING ON ME
I hate asking I do not know how to ask The words ‘ungrateful’ echo through the hollow My independence is deep rooted Holding myself down Being rejected, lied to,..

ALIVE AGAIN
I love the person I am becoming Climbing each mountain Weathering the storms Even with the whispering suicidal calls I stand my ground. I silence them! This time not thinking of the people that will miss me when I am gone Will they even miss me? Envisioning the life I have ahead Picturing the glory… Continue reading

FREE YOURSELF
I think we kill ourselves mentally before we decide to slit our wrists. I do not condemn anyone that decides to commit suicide. Life can be painful. It does not matter if you are rich, poor, successful, a failure or a teenager. Pain is pain and we all experience it. But we have the power… Continue reading
