Day 62 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program: "Then and Now: I Am on My Way"

Day 62 at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program "Then and Now: I Am on My Way" From being jobless, hopeless and full of drugs, to being sober, clean, on work therapy and full of life! It's been quite the rollercoaster 🎢.  Here's a little writing I have been inspired, at this moment, to put down: I have been in the valley of death; I am climbing the mountain to a better life. The potential to fall is real, the slope is slippery, but my will and my spirit is stronger than it has been in just a year ago today. 🌄⭐🙏 Change is real but it takes work. Faith without works is dead. Thoughts and feelings are meaningless without action. I thank Spirit, the God of my understanding, for working in my life and granting me the answer to my pitiful prayers. ❤️ I look back at this person of a year ago, I see things I recognize but there are parts I do not. I can't say I'm different, it's only been 2 months, but I can say that a change is taking place. Slowly, but surely

Day 19 at the Midnight Mission: A Xmas Special! On Day 19 of my stay here at the Midnight Mission Recovery Program, I was able to experience a special treat. My dad, Mr. Bryan Meek, who has been my champion and my best supporter in this journey was able to come down and meet me on the corner of 6th and San Pedro next to the Midnight Mission facility. He came to see me which he called, "a gi ft in itself" , and for us to exchange Xmas gifts to each other.  My Dad gifted me a sweet HP laptop that I am writing on at this moment. Given my circumstance and lack of income due to my 90-day block out and not yet being placed on work-therapy, I leaned on some graphic design skills I have acquired from years of blogging and content creation. Using Canva (a graphic design program similar to photoshop) I was able to create a cool poster for my dad and for my sister as well. I will share those with you here: The above image I created for my dad as a Xmas gift. Here's some context on t

Greek Myths and Shit | Medusa the Gorgon

Image
  Medusa the Gorgon - aka Snake Hair Bitch Medusa is perhaps one of the better-known monsters from Greek legends. Defeated by Perseus, son of Zeus and the human princess Danae. Perseus was cock blocking this dude, King Polydictes (quite the name, right?), who wanted to marry his mother, the princess Danae. King Polydictes triple-dog dared Perseus to bring him the head of the ugliest fucking hell bitch he could think of, that being Medusa. Medusa was a gorgon, which means she was part of a fugly family of monsters. She had an evil weave made of living snakes and a stone-cold stare that literally turned mother fuckers into statues. Being Greek, Perseus was quick to accept anything that challenged his masculinity, as the story normally seems to go with these dudes. Toxic masculinity seemed to infect the guys from these legends. But I digress, Perseus was all up for this shit and so decided he was going to cut him a scary-ass hell bitch. He was thankfully aided by his divine sibl
