Secrets
Has anyone ever felt this way? As though you’re hiding your emotions, opinions, and/or very essence away - just like a locked box only you can open? I’ve always felt this way, since I feel terrible when I put myself before others. Someone needs help with homework, no problem. Another needs my opinion to help them feel better, I’ll gladly put myself down to make them laugh. Yet, living like this… is so tiring. I constantly smile, put on a facade of neutrality and a shield nobody is able to pierce through to sense my true thoughts. I do everything I can for my friends and even people I barely know, and every time they harm me, I just smile. And tell myself no, this doesn’t hurt. Feel the pain later, but never right now.

Happiest Place on Earth or Most Haunted?
As a long-time Disney fan and a paranormal enthusiast, I'm well aware of some of the alleged hauntings that exist in Disneyland. One of the most common sightings is that of Walt himself, whose ghost has been spotted in numerous locations around the park, but predominantly in his old apartment above the fire station located on Main Street USA, where he and his family would sometimes stay.

Top 5 Books from 2025.. so far. Top Story - September 2025.
I have not read as much as I wanted to this year. I set myself a goal of reading twenty books at the beginning of January. It's now September and somewhere in between working, being a mom, and my regular life- I managed to read 14 books/audiobooks so far. I actually am quite proud of that number as it's only September.

And what do you think, Mr. Robbins?. Top Story - September 2025.
No, I had no idea what the title meant when I picked up this book from the local library. And no, I was not a long time fan of the author when I heard of his death and found that I had two of his paperbacks ready to go: “Another Roadside Attraction” (his first novel), and “Jitterbug Perfume” (catchy titles, I think). But I knew his name. I had seen the books and I knew that someone was actually insane enough to make a film out of his “Even Cowgirls Get the Blues,” a film starring Uma Thurman as a hitchhiker with a very generous length of thumb (no, it was not a hit). And I stayed away from them all. My feeling was that Mr. Tom Robbins belonged to that interesting clique of writers from the late sixties that once had the ear of the zeitgeist, but soon lost it when people realized that they had nothing else to say (reviewing the remainder pile of the local bookstores has become an unmerciful duty). There was no place in my life for books on hippies, the counterculture that failed, and the false promise of psychedelics.

Everything I Read This Summer...
Summer is over. And I would say this is unfortunate but then that would be a lie. Personally, I love the fall and winter, the summer and I have never really gotten along well. That being said, I did get a lot of reading done this summer and I'm here to tell you (and only you) about everything I read this summer that was by or mentioned Jane Austen, because it was surprisingly a lot.
