We all go through some emotional trauma at some point in our lives, emotinal, physical mental etc. It could be from a heartbreak, losing a loved one, or even just from being in a toxic relationship with somebody. We all deal with it one way or another, and eventually that feeling you once felt that was so gut wrenching will no longer cease to exist, but it takes time to completely heal from it. Time, patience with yourself and even your own mind, because if not healed properly your mind will still bring up those certain moments in your life, and still have an affect on you.
You could be completely healed from what once haunted you, and stood in the back of your mind each and everyday, and still find yourself randomnly thinking about those thoughts. It's not even intentional to think about these things, but it still pops up out of no where. You could either choose to sit there and keep thinking about these events, and let it completely ruin your mood or just change the subject. Sometimes the mind is to powerful for even ourselves to control, because if we let it, it can be our worse enemy. Yes it can be years since these events occured, and feel nothing towards it anymore that sometimes you'll laugh it off, but let your mind continue to think about it, and you'll begin to feel sad, mad, upset, or even start crying because your mind is reminding you of all these emotions you felt before. I think we all eventually get over these feelings as time passes it becomes easier and easier, but we most definitely don't forget these memories, and sometimes the past feelings will come along, but that's only if you let it.
You can either control your mind, and your thoughts or let it control you is how I see it. See I write this out of the top of my head, and it's 12:06 AM my mind was wandering into my thoughts of these past events that have happened to me, and I wanted to bring it up and talk about it, but truth be told it's not going to get me anywhere so here I am writing this late at night to control my mind, and not let it get the best of me. You can either sit there, and think about it and let your mood get ruined or you can simply tell yourself how irrelevant it is to be thinking about these events and think about how better it is now. You always have that choice, and some people are better than others at controlling their own thoughts. I know it's easier said than done, but instead of thinking about the past and how hurt you were and how you felt then, think about how you are today and how better your life has been since then. Don't dwell on what isn't anymore and focus more on the good and what's to come. Do not let your own mind have that power over you, don't let your mind play these tricks on you. If it's not present just forget it, and if it's not current it's not worth it. The past is the past for a reason let it stay there where it belongs, you are your mind, and your thoughts are yours just don't let them have that power over you to bring back those old feelings and emotions that aren't relevant anymore. You are stronger than what you know, and it starts by controlling yourself and your playful mind too.

Put Yourself First
We were always told since being kids, when you grow up you should be a doctor, or a lawyer or something that just pays really well. Of course as having a job that pays well is the most common pursuit in everyone's life did you stop think about if you're happy at doing what you are doing, and that you are doing it for yourself not because you should or because someone told you to. Did you stop and think that doing something that you are not happy with could possibly affect your mental state? I know it's ideal to go and apply to this or that job just because the pay is so well, and it is ideal to always want better for yourself, but let me ask you this is this ideal job where you are breaking your back doing everything you possibly can worth you being unhappy or stressing just because the money is that great? If you answered yes then this article isn't for you, but if you answered no then keep on reading.

Vocal & my relationship to publishing traditionally
Ever since my small writing beginnings, when I started writing on Vocal in February 2021, I had been in a truly terrible slump & funk when it came to my writing. I had so many unfinished projects, ideas, half finished manuscripts and first chapters that were going nowhere.

### The Riverside Bridge Brothers Liam and Owen lived in the peaceful village of Eldenwood, surrounded by thick forests and rolling hills. As distinct as day and night, they were. The older Liam displayed patience and composure. He always read a book with a thoughtful expression on his face. Owen, on the other hand, had a lot of energy and tried hard, always looking for rushes and energy. Despite their differences, the brothers remained close friends. They had lived in a small, cozy cottage built by their late parents by the river. The banks of the river served as their playground and haven. Skip stones, fish, and the future would be the subjects of their endless fantasies. One summer, a severe storm destroyed Eldenwood. The normally tranquil river suddenly became a torrent. The water washed away the old wooden bridge that connected their cottage to the rest of the village. Without the bridge, the brothers were left alone and struggled to live a simple life. Even though it appeared impossible, they were aware that they needed to rebuild it. Owen and Liam decided to work together on the bridge's restoration. To acquire things like wood, they ventured into the woods. As a meticulous individual, Liam was in charge of calculating the necessary plans and measurements. Owen was in charge of the physical labor and used his unstoppable energy to chop wood and move bulky logs. The job was hard and took a long time to finish. Liam's meticulous planning was sometimes hindered by Owen's impatience. "Why is it necessary to measure everything accurately?" Owen would grumble. "Let's just make it and use it for nothing!" "Owen, a strong bridge needs a solid foundation," Liam would calmly respond. If you hurry, it will only become weak." They frequently came to an agreement or disagreement. Every evening, after a long day at work, they would sit by the river to watch the sun set over the water in a golden glow. With their parents, they would discuss their aspirations for the future. They were transported back in time to the moments and love that kept them together. Over the course of the subsequent weeks, the bridge began to take shape. It was evidence of their hard work and cooperation. While installing the final planks, Owen slipped and fell into the river one afternoon. The strong current made it hard for him to stay afloat. Without hesitation, Liam dove into the water. Despite the rapid current, he reached his brother just in time. He was saved by Owen's unwavering efforts. As they lay on the riverbank, gasping for air, their hearts raced. Owen's focus was on Liam, who was crying. "You saved my life," he said softly. Liam grinned with his own sparkling eyes. We are brothers, Owen. We will always support one another." The bridge is sturdy and unmoving when it is finished. Eldenwood residents lauded the brothers' achievements and perseverance. The bridge became a village symbol of community and perseverance. They would take their children to the river and tell them about the bridge after Liam and Owen had their own families a few years later. They would discuss the importance of brotherhood and the lessons they had learned about cooperation and patience. In the end, the bridge was more than just a building; it was also a symbol of the strong bond between two brothers who, despite their differences, had created something beautiful together. Eldenwood residents would be captivated by the story of Liam and Owen and their river bridge for as long as the river continued to flow.

Remembering the rink
If you were there, you’ll never forget it. For decades, Durham Ice Rink was at the heart of the city’s social life. From Friday night ice discos to crowds roaring on the Wasps every Sunday, not to mention a proud history of figure skating and speed skating, the riverside rink was the place to be.
