October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month
If you didn’t know this already, October is domestic violence awareness month. I myself left an emotional, verbal, psychological and financially abusive relationship back in late 2014.

Photo art and releasing emotions…
“Reminiscing of how things were before everything changed. Hoping that some aspects of our lives are better after this is all over. Living each day, as safely as I can to survive, so that I can see the light at the end of the darkness.” – Ariana R Cherry (Just mixing some of my photographyContinue reading “Photo art and releasing emotions…”
Read & Listen to Poetry: Creation of Insanity
Creation of Insanity Complete irrational hyper-mania can only lead a tortured soul to a delusion of incomprehensible horror. Imaginations deliver fictional stories to a confused mind, perfecting the art of lunacy. Once one crawls too far into the mind, and away from the soft lights of rationality, the soul can become quite incoherent. All timeContinue reading “Read & Listen to Poetry: Creation of Insanity”
