The news media has most definitely NOT learned from the lessons of 2016. Despite some journalists and editors proclaiming they were going to do some introspection to understand the role the media played in the 2016 election, the news media is falling into some of the same terrible habits that I personally believe helped allow Donald Trump become the current 45th President of the United States in the first place. Spoiler alert, it’s mostly about the ratings.
Read MoreIn the last decade, the childhood memories of inspirational role-models have been stained with scandal. Perhaps it’s no coincidence the last few years have also seen many moving through existential crises of morality, coinciding with the rise in big-budget blockbusters featuring super powered crime-fighters saving the day with gusto and heart, fighting for truth.

Read MoreChances are, most everyone has at least heard of, or maybe even read about a specific conspiracy theory in passing. I’ll totally admit that there was a period of time when I was jumping down a few rabbit holes.

The language used has been edited slightly from its original version in order to grammatically fit the format of the Medium story.

Read MoreAs the goddess and I continue to move through episodes of anxiety, one thing is becoming increasingly noticeable; in and of itself, anxiety is ridiculous. Now, to be clear, anxiety is not ridiculous because of those non-empathetic types who sound like old people when they say how they "don’t understand what there is to be anxious about because it’s not like we’re living through medieval times," or whatever.
Anxiety is ridiculous because of the thought processes the brain puts the mind through. But in order to fully illustrate this absurdity, I need to share an example to illustrate the dynamic between the brain, the mind and us.
Read MoreI want to tell you about a conversation I overheard the other day between two older white ladies. The circumstances surrounding how I came to hear such a story are unimportant. But, needless to say, out of privacy concerns and also the subtle amount of racism involved, the names have been changed to protect the ignoramuses. Everything else told is exactly as I heard it.
But in order to read the rest, I behest you to make your way over to Medium by clicking on the title, image or simply right here.

But in order to learn what birthdays meant and what they mean for me now, you will need to read the full article on Medium, which can be found by clicking here, on the image or title above.
