In My Thoughts: The Evolution of a Scarred Mind

Life is a metamorphosis. What we morph into and how we morph is what has always fascinated me. Reflection and memories define our understanding of who we are and who we used to be. They keep us in our thoughts. Everyone’s life experiences are different because God created a different journey for us all to navigate. However, the likeness of some or most of the experiences we experience or encounter regardless of what country, state, or race is what mentally allows us to empathize with someone you’ve never met. Through my trauma, pain, perseverance, success, failures, memories, and reflection, I have lived and grown in my head, and in my thoughts. Through my experiences that always made me think, reflect, replay, relive, and correct those experiences, I mentally formulated quotes, poetry, and short stories. As I grew through sports and because of my love for sports, I met many people.

People who loved what I loved and loved with the same passion I possessed. Meeting those people and learning about their struggles through their journey helped me not to have pity for my hardships but to “embrace the beauty within the opportunity.” (JBM). That in turn gave me the confidence to translate my thoughts into writing. COACH “The Mediator Of Dreams And Destroyer Of Generations” was my story. I WAS ONLY FOUR-YEARS-OLD “The Psyche Of A Broken Sole” was my “why.” Now “I patch the pieces and write for you, my life” (JBM). IN MY THOUGHTS “The Evolution Of A Scarred Mind.” These quotes and short stories define me. Who I was, who I am, and who I will become? My hope is through my thoughts; my readers can comprehend, translate, and utilize these quotes to help formulate a better understanding of themselves and why their thoughts define who they are.
