Creative Writer Meets The World

It’s about to be a new year, About to be a new start, It’s the last chance, The last chance to change things, To change things within, To change things within us, To take that moment, Give it your best, Just say the words, Just say it and make it last, Just something simple, Doesn’t have to be complex, I am not asking, Not asking for anything difficult, Just a few words, Just something to change, Change what is, What is you and me, Just give me that, Just say you want to be mine, Mine forever, Until the end of time, It’s that last chance, Take it now, Take it true, Before it’s gone, Before it’s too late, Before the clock strikes twelve, End the year in good standing, Change the way things are, Give me that hope, Give me that feeling, Take away the numbness, Take away that lack of feeling, The feeling of just standing here, Even though I am so in love with you, But being in so much pain, Because there is still so much, I want, I need, I crave, I desire, It’s the last chance, Take it now...

First 10 lines was written by a friend the rest I wrote he gave me permission to use his lines as a starting point. So lost, bed ridden with thought. Trapped within my head, caged, iron-wrought. Defecating words onto this page Pain wrapped, around so many years. Solace found, within my tears Hard to act like I'm okay Holding within, all my rage. Having to watch, all I do and all I say. Translucent thoughts around my head sway My light grows dimmer and dimmer, each and every day. Hard moments come within, Pain, Hurt, What am I to do now? Trying to shake off this disaster Where is my happily ever after? Does it still exist? Or am I going to be left with this? Want to be mad, Want to scream, Want to shout, What else do you want? What else do I have to give? So lost, Ridden with all these thoughts, Wondering where am I going to turn to, Trapped within this mindset, Trapped within, Want to scream it out, Want to twist it about, Pain from the past coming to the surface, Thought you were ...

Try to breathe, Inhale, Exhale, It isn’t that difficult right? Try to not cough too much, Take the inhaler, Make tea, Check, Check, Chest hurts, Hands trembling, Feeling tired, Feeling not tired, Please no migraine, Not this time, Pain is enough, Please no dizziness, That is never fun, Just sit, Just sit, Hold on, Not the first time, Not going to be the last, Tea is still too hot, Drink slowly, Just keep the breathing, Inhale, Exhale, Might not seem hard to most, But for an asthmatic, For someone who is struggling, It can be the hardest thing in the world, Medications can only do so much, Even if you are on what you need, Pain, Pain, More chest pain, Use to it by now, Just work through it, Got to keep writing, Keep the words going, Just focus on anything else, Anything else but the pain, Remember the difficulty of working, When one like this happened, The way minutes seemed to be slow, Like if it was just mere seconds, That everything seems crazy, And your mind wonders, Because you can...

Cannot feel, Cannot sense, Cannot be real, This has to be a dream, This cannot be reality, This has to be some sort of dark fantasy, You cannot be gone, This has to be a nightmare, This cannot be, Cannot feel, Cannot get my senses, Cannot even cry, Emotions deep, Emotions drain, Emotions, Can I even feel them? Can I even sense them? Can I even see my own heart? Can I find a way to even process? Can I find a way to even see? Keep myself busy, Keep myself thinking, Keep myself doing anything, No matter what I do, Who I talk to, I just cannot feel, Cannot feel, Cannot sense, Did I lose it? Lose my heart? Lose my emotions? Lose it all? All I feel is numb, Numb where I cannot cry, Cannot get past, Cannot even begin, Begin to try, Begin to feel, What am I going to do? What is going to happen? What is going to come? All I want is to feel, Even if it is the pain, Even if it is the rain, Just something, Anything, Anything than this, This numb, This lack of feeling, That lies deep within my hear...

In this section I am going to go over some sage advice and concluding thoughts. One of the things I learned quickly with groups is to do everything in your power to keep your sanity and to not get stressed out about certain circumstances. No matter the size of your group having either another moderator and/or co owner will be very helpful to you especially if you get sick or have something happen. Depending on your group size you will want to extend the number. With this if you choose people you know you can trust, do not be afraid to give them the powers needed to help, and not just your basic inviting and approving spam powers you can always add more as you get to know someone longer. Running groups themselves especially in the beginning can be a time consuming process this is another reason having other moderators and owners with a good amount of powers is useful. Another good thing is time management and if need to breaking down your groups on different days if you need to do ...

Now that you have created your group, customized it, and maybe poked through the features a bit now you are going to wonder exactly how to do certain things. One of the many issues I have come across from those newer to groups is if they set their members to be moderated when they join the group how to change that. This is actually a lot easier than most people would think. First, you go to the members portion go to the person you need to change and click edit membership once there you are able to actually not only where you can change the posting message settings but other things as well. Here you can also change members to moderators and owners of the group. This is good for those that want to have more people to help them with either certain sections of the group or the group itself. Below this is where it has a posting messages and next to it will be an edit button that you can click to change their posting privileges, this is also good to use if you have a suspicion that som...

Group Features Yahoo groups offer many various features to its members that you can restrict so that only certain people can use them or everyone can. Some of the important features yahoo groups’ offers are files, databases, links, polls, photos, calendar, and invite. Now, depending on your type of group some of these features you might use more than others. In this section I will break down each important main feature, what it does, how to use it, and how it is beneficial for you as well. First, I will cover the files section of groups. This is one of my most used features that I use on all my groups because I make files for a lot of various things, everything from pending member forms, mod lists, and much more. If you are going to have a lot of variety of files I suggest making folders for the various things. Than once you have the folder set up you can add the file in two different ways.

Asthma without insurance frustrating to no end but asthma with insurance can be just as bad. Although I finally received insurance thanks to the state of Oregon getting Oregon Health Plan Standard and being able to finally see doctors although receiving more answers than I had in the past on things going on I still feel frustrated as I did a few months ago. I still have to deal with explaining to a certain degree why I am not working or a thousand of other questions that run through. I am not fully complaining really but it can still be frustrating but it is why I created this blog to begin with I wanted to put some light on asthma and the life of an asthmatic or at least mine. Lately even right before I got my insurance I knew my asthma was going more downhill, I didn't need doctors to tell me that I felt it. I tried to keep positive and prayed as much as I could between that time and was grateful when the OHP went through I remember the last few days and counting down to tha...
