Denver Getaway4/18/2019 Hey yall! It's been a while, but no fear, I shall be back soon enough! I am going on a 3 day, 2 night solo getaway trip to Denver next week. I am super excited as this is my first solo trip and this will be the first of many spiritual getaways. I am not formally diagnosed with bipolar, but I have, in recent years, started to recognize and identify my episodes and slowly started the coping process. My biggest fear is being formally diagnosed and being told that I will have to take medication, so I am taking measures to ensure that my mental health is at its best so that I can be too! Stay tuned because I have a whole 3 day jam packed with different topics and fun discussions! Much Love, Vy

My #MeToo Story: Art is my Therapy1/14/2019 Hey my loves! I am back with another video! This time I will be speaking out about my sexual assault experience as well as making an acrylic pour painting. Come tune in and listen to my story and feel free to add your experiences in the comments section! In light of this whole R. Kelly situation that is finally coming to light, it has brought a lot of emotions and thoughts for many survivors, and became a trigger for many as well. We HAVE to speak about it, the reason why so many people have experienced sexual abuse or aggression is because we don't talk about it. It all starts with us, the victims, how can We help each other and how can we prevent this to the best of our abilities? I believe it starts with US. We need to raise awareness, make it know that this is NOT OKAY, and give support to those who are victims or in need. If the older generation didn't address this on going issue, WE ARE RESPONSIBLE! We must do better and we must continue to create a world that is safe and accepting of ALL people. Let me know what experiences you have had or maybe one of your fellow peers! If you ever need someone to talk to, I AM HERE! Until next time, Vy <3 Catchin' A STD at 17 ~12/5/2018 Hey World! It's your girl Vy, and I am ready to share my story with the world. You can watch the full video Get Ready With Me in the link below. This is a recap basically of my story of how I caught a STD at 17. My senior year of high school was a hell of a ride, I was balancing sneaking out to club events and school, all while dealing with boy drama. My boyfriend at the time, was this tall, light skinned boy man with tattoos, he was 22 (?) and I was 17 still, a couple months shy of my 18th birthday. We had been going steady for about a month or two and decided that we wanted to do away with condoms. Yeah, it already sounds like a dumb ass idea huh? So I take my happy ass to Planned Parenthood, since I still had Medicaid at the time and it was free (basically), they go through the usual check in and medical history questions, and then the nurse asked if I wanted to get a STD screening, it was free. Of course, I said yes, what harm can it do? They tell you if something comes back, they will call, if not after a week then you're in the clear. BITCH. It was a week later. I thought I was in the clear. Until I get a phone call in the middle of lunch from the office. FUUUUCK. I answered, the lady confirmed my identity and said the words that would twist my stomach and make my heart drop to my asshole: "You tested positive for Chlamydia, when will you be able to come in for treatment?" Thoughts literally streaked through my mind as I try and set up the appointment and after I hung up, I lost my appetite. I couldn't understand how this could've happen to me. Me. Out of all fucking people. I start to panic. This is the first time I've been tested and my body count was at 4. What if it wasn't him? But he was the only one I've let hit raw. Does this confirm that he was cheating on me? Did he fucking knowingly give this shit to me? Who else was he fucking?? I was hurt, angry and confused. I hated myself for not getting tested sooner. That was only 4 years ago. 4 years later and I am diagnosed with PCOS, polycystic ovary syndrome, a hormonal condition that "can affect my" fertility. 4 years later and now I am happily in love with the love of my life, ready to start a family and I still wonder if because I had gotten Chlamydia is that why I have PCOS or was it the Depo shot that made it worst? We can ask ourselves questions that don't have a definite answer to all day, every day for the rest of our lives, but that won't change what already happened. You can however, make the future and manifest your destiny as you wish. What really helps me is quieting my mind, through breathing and meditation. Clearing and quieting your mind completely is a daunting task, but practice makes perfect. Take 5-10 minutes a day to just sit and be still and take deep breaths. Little sessions as such will quiet your mind and help you focus and be ready on the next opportunity. Being aware of your status as well as your partner(s) status is not only important for your physical health, but your mental health. Get tested TODAY for FREE -->https://www.freestdcheck.org/.
