Pretty Little Minds.: Treatment Playlist for the week of 9/12/2012

Origin Story.

I am your daughter, your sister, your mother, your aunt, your grandmother, your best friend, your God mother, your sister in law, your neighbor, your colleague who annoyingly seems to always know how to fix everything on a computer in mere moments when it took you hours (I'm sorry, really, I am just trying to help). I am you. I am a survivor, a fighter, a dreamer, a believer. I love hard, dream large, LIVESTRONG and never regret. I am, in the end human, just like everyone else, with a myriad of chronic complexities that just tag along for one hell of a ride. And what I think, see, feel, dream, do and create…matters. I matter. And so do you regardless of what you may think or feel when you look at yourself time to time…

For some reason everyone thinks they know who I am, what I believe in, what I have done, where I have been, what I have seen, what has happened to me and what hasn't. Well guess what, 85% of you are most likely so completely far off it’s offending to your teachers your brain even works in such deluded ways (no child left behind my ass)- your parents are most likely offended as well. Quite frankly, I am just getting to know me as I, like most people, am constantly changing and evolving. The last few years have been the most evolving I've ever experienced and as difficult as it all has been I am grateful for the lessons it has taught me. It is quite presumptuous of you to assume that you would know me now, right this minute, isn't it? Mistakes be damned, I am who I am and I am proud of whom I am becoming. I deserve to shine, just like each of you, mistakes, missteps, wrong decisions, bad decisions and all.

This space started out as my space, a place for my mind, my thoughts, my dreams, my wishes, my nightmares, my complexities and faults, my worries and heartbreaks, my loves and journeys, my devastation's and revelations. Yet I was never really able to do that here. I was never able to become that here. Part due to what has been ongoing in my personal life. Partly because of what I let myself believe and feel. And for that I am sorry. I am sorry for a moment I let myself get distracted by something so small, a speck of dirt on an unwashed floor. But I am not going to kick myself down for it nor will I continue on about it. This place will become a space for love, for healing, for getting things off our chest. I will be posting and sharing things from my personal life as will featured guests as well. These guests will be people I not only look up to in a professional sense but in a spiritual sense, that live with passion, that see life through a specific lens that maybe we all can learn something from, myself included. I am lucky enough to have these people in my life and to share tidbits of their pretty little minds with you.

This place in the world is my creation and I won’t back down from it just because the level of my honesty can sometimes feel like a slap in the face. If you don't like it, don't come back. I am becoming the type of person I have always wanted to be and I will forever hold my ground. I do not crumble simply because some wish me to.Thoughts like that in fact simply push and drive me further to the top. Thank you for that.

My name is Cody Wilshire. You may have heard of me. You may not. You may think you know me but I promise that you don't. Whom I call and consider my family doesn't fully consist of the same blood as one another, but we'd take a bullet for each other without thinking twice, some of us have...a lot. One thing you should know about me that will never change, that you should know about us, I never say die. We never say die.

This pretty little mind is going to keep shining- she’s not done fighting yet, she’s just getting warmed up.
