Searching for Love . Top Story - May 2025.
The more I have to lose… the more I worry. I suppose I’ve always been this way. Of course no one wants to get hurt, loss things that matter or feel let down. But lately I have been really contemplating how bad my rejection sensitivity can be. To the point where I have made up things in my head that have to match my reality for me to realistically ever make a great connection. And as I start to wonder about taking chances in life and really focusing on things I want and how to get there…. Well… the sensitivity comes back in grand force.

The Return of An Uncertain Mind
Throughout my life, I developed the belief that I am the only person I can rely on. We don’t accept free hand outs, we don’t let other people hold our burdens, and we do not tell them our problems. It created a nice little neat bubble for me, and made things very simple in my head. But it made relationships hard. Especially when you want to be the one who can assist other people with their issues. You want the magic wand that can fix that.

The Assistant . Top Story - April 2025.
Millie I am very lucky to live in this world. Mama taught me that over and over again, when I was growing up. She’d tell me all kinds of stories about people who didn’t have as much as we did. And how they almost wiped out the entire race. But the Omegas swooped in at the last minute and brought peace. Which is why, even Timothy at school is mean to me, I have to be nice to him, because he’s a future Omega. She also tells me he’s mean to me because he likes me. But I think she just says that to make me laugh. Mama can be very silly sometimes. But Papa says that’s just how women are. Which means he probably thinks I’m silly too.

Another Witch and Another Vampire
A witch and a vampire. It isn’t exactly earth shaking. And well it’s hopelessly romantic and poetic. I cannot help but feel cliche. But it’s as clear as the moon in the bowl of water to my left. He’s…. Who ever he is. Is a vampire. And we’re meant for some form of tragedy.

From night to day
I often find that within the depts of my mind. I am lost at sea during a terrifying lighting storm. It is often rather dark in my head and perhaps that is why I am so good at poetry. After all when your brain is constantly on fire yet presents a never ending world of rain. It isn’t hard to be poetic.
