Introductions Are In Order

Hello,

My Name is Nicki. I am 28 years old, and this blog is meant to be one of opinion and open discussion. My life long dream is to one day write something that will touch lives in positive ways. I want people to read and come to an understanding of the things that not only I see happening in the world around me but what others see as well. This is a place for standing up for what you believe in. However, this is also a place in which I expect everyone to understand each other and communicate with each other in a respectful manner. If you cannot comply with this one request I will ask that you leave this page. Have a wonderful day or night. And welcome to my world.

Smoke? Drink? I'm on the brink, Of insanity because sanity seems to escape me, Poetry no motion stuck in one place, Char Onyx Chamele pick one, Choose a face.

Mask on... Fuck it, Mask Off?

It's frustrating that I even feel the need to write about this. It's more than frustrating, it's downright infuriating. It's so strange to look back on my life and see how far I have come. I used to have the worst attitude in the world. If my day was going bad I would take it out on anyone and everyone at any given time. It wasn't until I was at McDonald's one day, and a lady I had been really nasty to said to me "Honey, I haven't done anything to you." I remember exactly how I felt in that moment. The mere memory of it elicits the same emotions and feelings of that moment. The realization as it swept over me, the light that seemed to brighten my world, and the smile that spread across my face. I felt light, and I felt free. I apologized and vowed from that day forward that I would try my best not to take my bad day out on others. Admittingly, I still struggle with it from time to time, however, in those moments that I do forget I try to at least...
