You must be part Carbon

Ever meet someone randomly and you seem to just click? You can talk for hours about anything, everything and nothing at all? Some people call that “Chemistry”

The electrons of people are hard to stay intact. Some negativity can be difficult so you must stay positive. That is about all the Grade 10 chemistry I can remember

Finding Peace in Chaos

I live for the adrenaline in helping others, fighting for those without a voice. This can be a thankless job that honestly never sleeps. It is chaotic, emotional and an ever changing world that makes you adapt quick!

I have been a self proclaimed advocate for prisoner rights for several years. I have written several short articles on addiction, parole and institualization which were shared by the New Brunswick chapter of the John Howard Society.

Many of us suffer from some form of illness, anxiety, or depression.  I feel for you but glad you are coping and moving forward.  It's a difficult task, but you have many friends and family members who love you and think very highly of you.  We all care about you and love you.  Keep your head up and continue your march onward.

Sweety pops! Respect for your brave & candid words. Love yourself as much as you can. You are a beautiful inner person that we're lucky to have known a little bit of.  You will, really will, find peace. Never doubt that.

Addiction doesn’t just affect the person that has the addiction it affects everyone.. In some cases I feel that it may affect the “sober” more.. since we have to see and deal with the constant fall out.
