America’s Got Talent Nightbirde performance will have you question your life in just one simple statement.
A while back on America’s Got Talent there was a young lady that took the stage to sing an original song called “it’s OK” and in just two minutes she took the internet by storm.
You see it isn’t that Nightbirde, her real name Jane Marczewski, isn’t just a good singer she is also fighting cancer. Prior to singing Howie Mandel asked her what she does for a living in which she responded that in the last 2 years she hasn’t worked as she has been battling cancer. After the awkward “o sorry to hear” from Howie, Simon Cowell asked her how she is doing now. Nighbirde responded by saying that “last time I check I had some cancer in my lungs and my spine and my liver”.

Live life on your terms.
Do you ever find yourself wanting to do something or trying something out, however, you begin to think to yourself “what would xx think about it”? XX could be a friend, family member, general population or whomever comes to your mind.
This simple thought process stops more people in their tracks because they don’t want to have others think negatively about them or their image. This also stops people from trying out new things or living a lifestyle they want to live.
The mental fight we have starts when someone says, “well I would never do that”. Of course, they wouldn’t do it in their life. Hell, I am sure they are doing things you would never do, however, they are still doing it. But what does their opinion really matter in the course your life, wants, and desires. Hint, answer should be little to none.

Living with a Mental Health Concerns
Hi, my name is Ryan and I live with major depressive disorder and anxiety and this is the story of my last 15 years (give or take).
I will focus this blog on depression and will touch on anxiety in a future writing.
I don’t use the official term of “mental health illness”. Don’t get me wrong, depression is an illness. According to the American Psychiatric Association, “depression (major depressive disorder) is a common and serious medical illness that negatively affects how you feel, the way you think and how you act.”

Are You Fighting a Substance Abuse Disorder? You aren’t alone!
My name is Ryan and I live in recovery from a substance abuse disorder, specifically alcohol.
It took me 20 years of heavy drinking daily to say that out loud just about 6 years ago.
But once I did, I could face it. With out it, I just kept on struggling in silence, holding my secret to myself and playing life as if I had it under control. Thing is, I did not have it under control. Beer and Crown Royal had me at their will.

Go be you!
It is all too often that I see people try to control other peoples lives. It is even more so with the all of the social media platforms that keep popping up.
Trolls. They are fucking everywhere.
Some of them you know, some you have never met.
But they all have one thing in common. They like to make comments that make you doubt yourself, or say things that are downright disrespectful.
It is a shame.
These people stop others from living the lives they want to live because subconsciously we want to impress people. Or worse, we don’t live our true lives because we don’t want people to talk shit about us.

This will be a quick blog and I am not sure who needs to hear it, however, I was compelled to jump on and type this simple message out to you: Keep fucking fighting.
Everyday we are faced with challenges that push us, pull us, or make us want to simply give up.

Medical Marijuana and Nudism
What does medical marijuana and nudism have in common? They are both good for your soul, spirit, and pain management (in my humble opinion). Relaxation, stress relief, and all natural are three main components of both.
Marijuana users carry around a stigma much like being a nudist does. Many people don’t understand it; therefore, they just simply label people as “stoners” and all they want to do is get high. While that is true for many, marijuana also possess many medical benefits that now being researched more.
