View from the Floor
As many people here know, due to my previous articles and poems, I have a disorder known as functional neurological disorder (FND). A huge part of functional neurological disorder for myself, and many others, is a type of seizure called psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES). These seizures, while not dangerous, are very disruptive to daily life. They make me feel alone, weak, and not in control of my own anxiety (and other emotions).

Learning a little about Love
I have a confession to make: I am not the single most confident person in the world. Despite being fairly outspoken at times, a little loud at others and in general a bit manic and over-the-top, I'm actually an introvert. During the course of the years, I've learned that being a wallflower really doesn't help me achieve my goals or make connections with other people. And those connections are important for so many different reasons, but I wont get into them right here and now.

A Step Away 2
In the heart of a somber and weathered town, a cemetery lay nestled amidst gnarled trees and overgrown grass. Its entrance was marked by an iron arch, a portal that separated the living from the departed. The townspeople spoke in hushed tones about the cemetery's aura, one that seemed to carry a palpable weight of sorrow and longing. Little did they know that the dead and the cemetery were intricately woven into the fabric of their lives, much closer than they could ever fathom.
