Westside Story

The title may be a little distracting, the saying can be misleading and used for different purposes. Similar concept to how we experience abuse from a human being..

Did you know 85% of Americans suffer from mental health issues in which is caused by peer-to-peer interaction?

Seriously shocking when I read about this recently…

Not only did I read about this factual information, but my life has also been through bullying and lost loved ones that have had an impact on my mental. I am an advocate of mental health and I am not perfect. Mental health comes from manipulation, disagreements, jealousy and the list goes on.

Over the years my mental health affected my social life and felt like I started to abuse the concept of life and blame everyone. Blaming will then fall on you and many tend to beat themselves up for the trauma instead of moving forward. Toxic mental comes from eating habits and pain, in order to build that hole, we need to bottle in our pride and use the pain to appreciate the space we are in now as a highly favor individual breathing and another level with reasoning to scale up. Inspire someone else to be better with their creativity and pain.

You ever heard the quote “ Your Pain & Story will become someone else testimony” is very accurate if you ask me.

Let me dig deep into why this topic means more than just a visit by a stranger.

Don’t worry I cut it short with specific details.

When I was just 4 years old, my mother separate from my biological father and met a man named Arnold and you know what's crazy this is how our mind reacts when we sense great, good, and bad. The man my mom was with I instantly called him my father because my biological father harmed my mother in which made our home broken the first stage of mental abuse.

Skip over a few years as “Arnold” took me as his daughter, he also had a son that was named after him. Few years in, my sister was birth into this world. We were a happy family until a year after my mother got letters to serve her at the airport for divorce, BOOM! Mental abuse for me to go through this pain with my mother and kicked out of our home. Fast Foward, overall I had great and bad times in my life, bullying the whole book of pain many of us go through RIGHT!

As I am 28 years old now, “Arnold” has taken care of his kiddos no matter what!

He has been in my life for 22 years and then lighting hit with a phone call from my sister “ Hey Sarah, please talk to daddy before he goes”.

Heart Completely Crashed to the ground!

Cancer is dangerous and will mentally cause damage.

As I express my Westside Story to him as he could not speak and was weak in the mind slowly having a stroke unnoticed and suffering from cancer, I express my childhood and life with him. Sister and I cried, she stated “ She would call me back”.

10 minutes later sister stated “ Sarah he’s gone” as I cry writing this and cried hearing this all I could hear and feel was blank like a piece of paper with a rush to the heart ready to leave to run and prepare with my sibling to lay him to rest.

Mental health will cause depression if you are not honest with your experience.

Overall this is not a summary to place you in that mindset.

Growth is our mission every day, let the past become your strength.

Build Your mental clarity and bliss your wombs with real legacies and pure presence of support to one another.

Listen to others and if you are going through mental abuse reach out to someone that will listen to prevent any harm to yourself.
