As you guys know, I've been writing about being in therapy and my therapist said I've been doing good since my first appointment so I wouldn't need therapy anymore. My therapist said therapy isn't supposed to be a continuous thing! Of course, if somebody isn't improving with their issues, I guess therapy is needed for a long time basis but the point my therapist was trying to make was that therapy has to have an ending point. I didn't know that therapy had an ending point, but I guess it does eventually. I was sad that my therapy was ending but a new chapter had begun for me with the knowledge and wisdom that my therapist had taught me through my therapy journey. If I keep doing the work to maintain or control my anxiety, I will continue to be aligned with my positive and peaceful journey. The key words are if because I sometimes have off days and fuck up on multiple occasions. My goal is to limit those off days and fuck ups. All I can do is to work on myself ea...
Last night I saw a one man act play entitled The End of Black Excellence at the Cleveland Public Theatre with my sister and mother. The play is broken into four parts and the play is though provoking and vibrant in regards of visual effects and storytelling. I would rate this play 10/10 even though I'm not a theatre critic.

The African American community has been through turmoil after turmoil and history has shown that in major ways and frankly, the black population has been on the lower stick ever since ever. The End of Black Excellence explores the highs and lo...
Since I experienced this and it's highlighted this month, I think I should speak about this and what I'm talking about is suicide prevention. Shout out to the people who are bringing awareness to this topic, its such a complex issue that shouldn't be happening, but suicide is unfortunately rapidly growing. My experience is that I contemplated suicide in the past, others have past by committing suicide including my friend, Joseph Wain a few years ago. I had a fond memory of him. The memory was when him, me, his brother and his mother went to the Lake Erie Crushers game one night. I was and still not obsessed with baseball but that day, I had a great time. We all sat on a red blanket to watch the game. My other friend told me the news, I shed a few tears. To say I was devastated, that would've been an understatement. We all have sad moments, and I think the key is to get out of those sad moments somehow, through your spiritual leader, your family, yourself, your friends o...
