WRITE IT OUT!!!

WOOO SAHHHHHH

I was just living life, drinking my water and minding my own black business when BAM. The media and all the political commercials and attacks drowned me into being at war with myself. How did I allow this to happen??

This week RIGHT HERE has been a mental health challenge for a lot of people, including myself. Compound this with the back and forth bickering with complete strangers online regarding world events that seem to be completely out of our control. I found myself in a state of not wanting to do anything at all. My solution became to lie on my bed and stare at the ceiling in a form of meditation, overwhelmed with those silent swirling thoughts that poke and prod the brain.

Then, an epiphany hit me. I'm a poet. I'm a spoken word artist. I'm a writer. Those are my outlets of healing. Even if it's in your own diary or personal journal....WRITE IT OUT. Get those nagging thoughts off your stress-filled shoulders and onto paper. Stream your consciousness across a spiral notebook or a laptop. Write until the healing comes. Speak your truth, your uncertainty, your anger and even the ultimate acceptance into verses, songs, hip hop lyrics  and poetry. 

Do it to inspire others. More importantly, do it for yourself. 

Speaking of that, this Saturday November 9th we have an open mic variety show. Buy a ticket. Get outside and tell us what's in your head or in your notebook. We don't throw rocks, boo, or throw tomatoes. Here's the entry ticket link and we'll save you a seat: artoutloudopenmicnov2024.eventbrite.com

We'll even have a guilt-free dessert vendor so you can drown yourself in hugs and cookies. :)

Live your ART OUT LOUD!!
