Roses on my porch (C)Benjamin Leon 2018

I remember seeing these roses and immediately pulled out my camera; my hands were shaky but I managed to stabilize them and afterwards move the camera along with the roses a little because they were being rocked by the wind caressing the plant and I did not want a blurry picture. I decided to write this article precisely after snapping a picture today, a picture of a small rosebud and two roses behind it in their latter development stages. Some of you will immediately understand where this article is trying to get you, but for those who don't, here's what I thought of the photograph after looking at it for a while while I sat by myself inside of this lonely coffee shop experiencing a mild migraine.

Love after the "Love" of your life.

It's really hard to write about this very specific subject because it has always been a very important part of my life. I have experienced a lot of heartbreaks in the past, whether or not me being the responsible of getting to the point of ending the relationship with my dates. 

Please, please heed this little advice snippet: Love yourself first before attempting any sort of sentimental relationship with someone, be it new or the first.

You Got This

A Beautiful Tennessean Day (C)Benjamin Leon 2018

As I was sitting outside my relatives' house on a beautiful Tennessean spring-almost-summer day listening to birds singing, looking at a couple of Robins jumping through the grass looking for something to eat, a mother and a father dove carrying twigs to finish their nest, the wind gently caressing each blade of grass while the strong sun rays were shining through the clouds on a beautiful blue sky, when I thought to myself: "I've really come a long way since it happened". It has been exactly 579 days since at the time of writing this article. "Maybe I need to help others overcome their hardships" I realized as those lines took my train of thought hostage for that brief moment.


"Social platforms were the perfect medium to get to people, because you do not need to approach them physically; especially for me, someone with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In no way is it an easy task to approach someone to either talk, help or ask for something over a counter."
