A military veteran that loves to read and write stories and poetry about mental health, love, and horror, and diversity topics. Boring on the surface, but I hope you enjoy my work and discover something more underneath the surface.

Guardian of the Woodlands
In the middle of an ancient and green forest, there's a special location. The trees there think and feel things—they're not only regular trees. They speak to each other in a way only trees get, and they move to the rhythm of the wind. There lives a person everyone calls the hooded man—no one knows much about him except that he's been looking out for the forest forever.

President Obama: Legacy of Change and Hope
Like many others, I admired President Obama's journey to the White House. I recently finished reading his book cover to cover and was truly impressed by his captivating storytelling and ability to engage readers with personal stories. President Obama holds a place in my heart much like the esteemed John Lewis, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and the often misunderstood Malcolm X. Their stories have motivated me to navigate through a world filled with criticism and false narratives.

Pet Therapy: Happiness on a Leash
I recently read a story about the positive impact of pet therapy on veterans. The article shared a heartwarming tale of a veteran who was dealing with PTSD and depression. The story focused on John, a veteran with an extensive service history, who had been diagnosed with PTSD and depression. Similar to veterans in our country, John faced challenges transitioning back to civilian life and was grappling with intense feelings of anxiety and loneliness. However, his life changed after his introduction to pet therapy. John's therapist paired him with a service dog named Max, who provided companionship and emotional support. Max played a role in easing John's symptoms by offering security, reducing anxiety levels, and encouraging him to participate in daily activities. With Max by his side, John regained his confidence over time and began actively engaging in social events and outings. The bond between John and Max deepened daily, making Max an essential part of his healing process.
