When my life passes

I understood you

But you stayed a safe distance

I felt your resistance

You dug your heels in deeper

I matched your passion for all things creative

All things physical

I made you think and got you to see

When you thought I wasn’t listening

Not paying attention

I heard you

Your voice

Your laughter

Will haunt me until I die

Then and only then will I get answers

Go …..live your life

I will get you on the other side

I also started to notice my breathing when I was stressed out or intensely involved in something. I have two destructive breathing patterns that take place, I either over breath or shallow breathe; sometimes I even subconsciously hold my breath. None of the three poor breathing methods make a happy functioning body. It’s funny to have to learn how to breath properly because it’s something we do automatically.    With some unknown allergies or on and off sinus issues I already face upper repertory struggles at times. When I over breath due to some hidden or not so hidden stress I notice changes in my bod...
