May is Mental Health Awareness Month and this is a great time to take a look at those things in your life that make you sad, depressed, anxious and angry. Some of things you can’t control BUT some of those things you CAN control. Those things you can do something about take time, commitment and accountability to ensure that you are doing yourself a positive service instead of a negative one. Having good intentions when it comes to some sort of major change in your life is great in theory however good intentions do not pay the bills, lose the weight for you or get out of a toxic relationship with someone. Sometimes people can’t see past the end of their noses and totally miss the bigger picture of taking care of your mental health. Your mental state controls 100% yourself as a person and needs nurturing and understanding. You can workout and get a terrific physique but if you aren’t right in your head, the effort is fruitless because although you appear attractive to the outside world, inside you’re holding yourself hostage and running from those toxic behaviors that need weeded out of your brain.

There’s no shame in admitting to yourself that you need help in the mental department and these days there are tons of resources around to get you started on your way to finding clarity and getting your mind back on track.

When ordinary becomes memories and you then revisit old haunts, those ordinary memories come flooding back.

Even with all the things we do to cover who we actually are, when you live in alignment with your true self, those little extras we use to dress ourselves up with, don’t matter at all.

New horizons can be an exciting and scary thing all at the same time. Have you ever stopped to think how NOT scary change is though? In the grand scheme of things, our problems are minuscule but we tend to view them as if they’re consuming everything in the world. It makes sense because most of us have a centralized view of the world, our shit is what matters and nobody else’s. What we need to do instead of worrying how things will work out is go with the flow, enjoy the views, hold on over the bumps along the way and accept what is.

If we broaden our view to see the bigger picture and focus on being calm and being present in each individual moment, we’ll be able to soften into a less anxious and more relaxed atmosphere that surrounds us.

In the midst of that amazing time in my life came the worst, and that was when my friends just started dropping dead. They were sick today and dead tomorrow. And when you would go to the hospital to look for you friend they would be out in the hallway on a gurney pushed up against a wall dying for help, dying for love, dying to be saved. And some of them with that sign on their gurney that said "do not touch". And they suffered, and people wanted to act like they weren't good people, kind people, wonderful people, somebody's son, somebody's daughter, somebody. // SHERYL LEE RALPH receiving the Human Rights Campaign's National Ally for Equality Award 2022.

People who identify as LGBTQIA+ don’t really play ourselves growing up. Instead, we act out personas that fit some sort of mold of who we wish we were or what kind of version of ourselves is the most pleasing to others. This is why visability and respect towards others is so important.
