Yoga

Below is an essay I wrote about yoga. I hope you like it and it inspires you to start your own practice!
Yoga is Awesome
Yoga is a beautiful, relaxing, fun and awesome way to exercise. I started doing yoga a few weeks ago, and I love it. Since I have scoliosis, yoga helps strengthen my body to keep my back nice and straight. Yoga also prepares and excites me for the glorious day ahead.
Every morning I wake up at the crack of dawn (ok, not really, about 6:34), to do yoga. I brush my teeth then lay out my purple mat. I go onto Ekhartyoga.com and chose a 20 minute practice for that day. I then turn into a cobra, tree, eagle, child, and swan while feeling the sensation of my body waking up.
It is important to have instruction when doing yoga. If you don’t have instruction and are just looking at a sheet of paper, you can get hurt. As I listen to the teacher explain the moves, I know that I am learning the right way. I am able to replicate the pose in front of me, then view it in my mirror to make sure I am doing it right.
When you do yoga you move with the breath. As I start my day moving with the breath, I feel more aware of everything around me and tend to take deeper breaths. I am present while I do yoga. I can concentrate on the pose and the present. Unlike some sports like running, I do yoga to do yoga, not to get away from something. Yet the effects after leave me placid and calm as though I ran a mile and dove into a pool.

Yoga has made me more relax and awakes me for a brighter better day. I love yoga and I encourage you to give it a try!

 I use Ekhartyoga.com. It rocks!

Nine months later I emerge with the hopes of being vaccinated soon. FUcking hell. What a trip. This pandemic is going to require a lot of processing in the future but for now, I want to share and record some things I am very proud that I accomplished over this period of time. I was able to help start and run a campaign to eventually get my high school drama teacher who spread the rumor that I called the cops at a cast party which ruined my social life at that school while stalking me and my friends and constantly trying to get me in compromising and damn disgusting and gross situations. His charm to his superiors and the gaslighting and abuse of students has been heavily weighing on me in a way I have yet to fully deal with. I spoke out in high school and was silenced, threatened, and made to feel unwelcome. Yet the internet and living in a whole separate continent does wonders for confidence. I helped create a petition, gathered testimonies, and launched this campaign with my friends

Rainy Night Writing

There is something quite different about writing when it is raining outside than when it isn't. I despise my frozen toes and fingers, yet I love drinking chocolate almond milk with banana bread. It seems almost enchanting, like creativity is plopping on your rooftop. Writing in the rain, so odd. Writing in the rain It is like laughing during a thunder cloud, in perfect harmony with nature, rhyming and paralleling the weather, writing in the rain, creativity pours from you, as you hear the pitter patter, you wonder where the drops will all go, writing in the rain, a clean slate to begin again, a downpour of ideas, soon to come again, I love writing in the rain.
