Please be careful with kratom. I never abused it. Getting off it has been hell for me. Nothing like caffeine withdrawal.

I have been battling mental illness for over a decade. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed as bipolar type 2. I was started on lamictal. It seems to be working. I hope this puts me on the correct path.

Growing up I was not able to have a dog although I loved them. My father was deathly allergic to them. It sucked. All my friends had dogs but not I. I wanted desperately to have an animal to love and play

I remember when I first moved out of my parents house and was officially on my own. It was fantastic. I rented a small apartment that had no washer & dryer hook ups. My only option was the laundry

Today I am thankful for my car. It is not the best car but it is my car. I purchased it in 2009 during the cash for clunkers deal. It had 11 miles on it when I drove it off the lot. It was my first new

So I just started mining Burst. How often are the payouts?

Today i am thankful for my home. No it is not the biggest house on the block. No i did not buy it new or have it built. It eas built in 1975. It does not have the latest and greatest of everything. But

Satuday naps are one of the finest experiences that one can have. I work a m-f job and have the weekends off. Typically our daughter goes to one of her grandparents house on Saturday for a slumber party

As many people are probably aware, mouth breathing is not ideal. For many years i have suffered from poor sleep that leaves me feeling sluggish. I awake in the morning with a very dry mouth from mount

Even while choking, I can seem to breathe. Adaptation is a struggle. Timid transitions. Reality is a mirage. The desert oasis I’ve longed for. Am I human? Can you distinguish one defining character trait?

I just read about this for the first time lastnight. This is some crazy stuff. It seems i remember things differently than how they are now. If you have not read about this i suggest you do some research!

Being a father is by far the greatest experience i have ever had. It also one of the most challenging. I was once the kind of guy who swore up and down that i would never have children. I didnt want the

Steemit, Inc. has another hard fork proposal near completion...and I have a proposal of my own. Let’s see how they stack up. If you missed it, the original Hard Fork 17 proposal was released on January

Today was my daughter's second birthday. It was magical. It is hard to fathom that my little goose is two. She is the most amazing little girl. She has made me a better man. She fills my heart with joy.

Mind eye blind. Staring into darkness… time unwinds. To those who seek will be given no sign. Morally destitute population feeding blood fiend generation. “Elected” officials preach from high upon podiums

"Eliminating curation rewards would be saying that curators should perform unpaid labor for the authors and the steem power holders." - @remlaps There are a lot of reasons not to eliminate curation

Curation rewards are the talk of the town this week. Should they stay or should they go? The purpose of Steem/Steemit was to provide a means for bootstrapping and onboarding users of a cryptocurrency by

Supernatural lurking in the alleyways. Staring into the searing light. Wretched transformation, mutation, our nation. The lonely souls stagger and limp. Searching… For a crutch to lean upon. Support. Death
