Credit to the Most Difficult Age of my Life

Renewal

My brain is constricting, enclosed between two ropes of darkness that intertwine around it.

The blood is diminishing through bulging veins of my mind struggling to travel amongst the surface of my brain, crisscrossing paths creating hieroglyphics of pain.

My most seldom days, do not be astonished to see my pain not deteriorate away.

Because the devil's ropes consistently clench me but that doesn't mean that Im not trying with the painful ache of my disheveled heart to fight again.

To be seen fighting by observance is a rare occurrence to humanity.

All the lies and crumpled scraps of memory rest in my crowded trash can of knowledge, as I always disguise the true depiction of my realistic life.

You would think the web of antidepressants would capture my thoughts in their chemical entrapment.

But they can't .

Because they were not constructed to be the true abduction of manifesting thoughts but rather a dreaded routine in which I am struggling to revert my direction.


My body molds into a sculpture of a disheveled figure lying on my bed.

The buzzing noises in my ears swiftly arise and I don't have time to focus on breathing so my mind collapses and rolls down this mountain of truth that I consistently face.

Sweaty hands and the flooding of my tears shakes my bed which was very still before like the rhythm of my breathing.

I bellow a cry and there is nothing more painful and beautiful than the voice of frustration and the longing for hope combined.

There's no bruise like the bruise loneliness kicks into my spine, lingering both day and night.


Who has a cape around their heart to aid in my escape from these twists and turns of destructive art ?

The chandelier of my faith is hanging by a thread.

Some days my hot smile looks like a gutter on a fallen house but my hands are always holding on tight to the ripped cord of believing this life can be rich, like the soil can make food and decay turn wound into high weight.

As my focus shifts to this positive escape, the pain and anxiety will control me less each consecutive day.

I will plow through the hovering walls surrounding my mind and allow my imagination and talent to transpire into a seed of future knowledge and inspiration , that each lost soul will one day use as a reference to their own plantation.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
