The journey is not without challenges, yet it is through these experiences that we find our way. Author Vernon JB Pohl has traversed this path with a passion for reading, writing, and contemplating life from diverse perspectives.

Tales of Ravenwood - Year One
Elements.They're something only 2% of the population possess. However, due to the power each element is capable of, restrictions have been put in place to limit the use of these abilities. As such, most people who had elemental capabilities often hid these powers from the world. There were very few times and places where elements were allowed to be used, but most job fields prohibited the use of elements altogether.However, there are rumors... Rumors of an island, a set of schools that had allowed elementals to live their life as they wished. A land where their elements were considered gifts and not curses, a place where those with elements could grow their power, and prove their gifts weren't made to harm the world, but better it.---Jonah Hayes was your average middle schooler. He played games, and never put any effort into his assignments; instead, he spent his time with friends, hanging out in his small town.

A place that had only ever been rumored to exist, a place for people with 'unique abilities'. A place that would shape the course of his life- for better, or for worse.

We Are Drowning, How Should We Kill Our Time?
This collection of stream of consciousness prose was written during a very special time in my life. I left the city following a massive burnout, and lived in the country for months. I began a garden, cut most of my ties to the outside world, and wrote this as a way to keep me going through most of my days. When I wrote, I felt like this magical sense was taking over me and the words were just flowing out. I have not edited them, because I wanted to keep them as true to the feelings I had then as possible. It was truly a beautiful, transformative time of realizations for me. Thanks for reading this piece of my heart!

COMMON MENTAL HEALTH MISCONCEPTIONS
Mental health is a subject that affects all of us, yet it's often clouded by myths and misconceptions. These misunderstandings can perpetuate stigma and hinder those who need support from seeking help.In this blog, we aim to shed light on some of the Most Common Misunderstandings Surrounding Mental Health and provide accurate information to promote understanding and compassion.Misunderstanding 1: Mental Health Is Just About "Being Happy"One of the most widespread misunderstandings is the oversimplification of mental health as merely being "happy" all the time. In reality, mental health is a broad spectrum that encompasses various emotions and states of mind. It's about finding balance and stability in the face of life's ups and downs. Everyone experiences moments of sadness, stress, or anxiety, and it's perfectly normal. Mental health isn't about constant happiness; it's about emotional resilience and the ability to navigate challenges effectively.Misunderstanding 2: Mental Health Issues Are a Sign of WeaknessAnother harmful misconception is that experiencing mental health challenges is a sign of weakness. This stereotype couldn't be further from the truth. Mental health issues can affect anyone, regardless of their strength, character, or resilience. They often result from a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, and seeking help is a courageous step toward recovery, not a sign of weakness.Read more: https://www.latraumatherapists.com/blog/common-mental-health-misconceptions-latrauma-therapists

Unreality

He keeps a carefully cultivated solitary lifestyle, but his self-inflicted isolation is challenged when he meets Ariadne, a girl coping with sorrow and grief after the loss of her twin brother.The two begin to form a bond, but as Virgil comes across more and more cases of unreality, his own psyche starts to unravel, forcing him to confront his own mental scars and deep-seated feelings of alienation.
