Turning Negatives Into Positives
Introduction When I am looking for inspiration sometimes I have negative thoughts, like the fact that most people don't see me as a creator in any way, I am just there when stuff needs to be done, and that makes things difficult and the lines from Bob Dylan's "Joey" come back to nail things home:

My Difficulties In Creating Positive Stories. Content Warning.
Introduction I have remarked on this situation many times since I started on Social Media and also since joining Vocal. When I post something positive, it is largely ignored, when I post something negative it is picked up on.

Angie’s Artifacts
Wow!😮 What an amazingly, heart warming story! This is commonly a reaction of mine when reading Vocal poems and stories. Afterwards, I diligently try to maintain concentration long enough to add a 🖤 (sometimes succeeding)… and then continue on to peruse the Comment section…

A Study of Creative Vulnerability..
**** Weakness is a situation with two sides in the composing scene. It welcomes perusers into a significantly private excursion by uncovering the essayist's intricate contemplations and unfiltered sentiments. In her holding paper "Composing is definitely not a Place of refuge," Mackenzie Davis investigates the perplexing dance among imagination and weakness, pushing journalists to confront their tensions and embrace the groundbreaking capability of self-articulation.

Weekend Rewind: Rediscovered Riches
Vocal moves at the speed of light. In a whirlwind of submit, hearts and comments, the enthusiasm quickly wanes as publications move on-wards through the conveyor belt of creation. The new overshadows the old. This is the way of the world but, as a result, our words are buried, forgotten or are never even given the daylight they deserve. Treasures missed, gems left in the history of the ever scrolling feed.

The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence
The Courage to Follow Your Calling: Walking Your Path with Confidence The echoes of the noise that surrounds us often succeed in their endeavor to surmount and overbear the inner compass and our intuition guides us toward it. The tendency of society to guide us towards the conventional way of life is its habitual way of functioning. While the ones who follow the laid guidelines are appraised and extolled and the ones who muster the courage to be unconventional are unfathomable and incapable as they do not work according to the prescribed guidelines of the societal norms. The comfort of comparison is way more elusive than the openness to change and empathy towards the different ways of thinking. The hesitation to accept a new way of living is viewed seldom as the hammered wheelings of time lay their footsteps.
