Bad habits
Walk With Me in the Garden
The garden wasn’t large, but it felt like another world. Tucked behind her grandmother’s old stone house, it was a patchwork of roses, jasmine, tulips, and winding vines that seemed to whisper with the wind. As a child, Amara believed it had magic. As an adult, she realized it still did — just a quieter kind.

I Cut My Finger With a Chainsaw
They say curiosity kills the cat, but in my case, curiosity nearly cost me a finger. On a crisp Saturday morning, I found myself staring at a shiny new chainsaw that wasn’t even mine. My neighbor had left it in my garage after a storm took down part of his fence. I'd never used one before, but the temptation was too strong. I wish I could say it ended with a clean job and a pat on the back. Instead, it ended with real blood, a hospital visit, and an unforgettable lesson I carry to this day.

Worth
Introduction I took a selfie wearing a favourite shirt for a poem/playlist that I wrote which you can check out here: I thought I would use the picture for my Facebook Avatar, and yes, you expect a few likes, but at the moment they are at sixty, and that got me thinking, possibly spurred on by a quote from Ozzy Osbourne, who we just lost.

The Day I Gave Up “Just in Case''
I Thought I Was Practical: I Used to Hold on to Everything — Old Chargers, Broken Picture Frames, Clothes That Didn’t Fit, Expired Cosmetics, Even Paper Bags From My Favorite Stores. I Told Myself I Was Smart. That Day, I Would Need Them. That Day, They Would Serve a Purpose. In my mind, “Just in Case” became a form of preparedness — proof that I was responsible, resourceful, even wise. I didn’t want to be the person who threw something away and later regretted it.

Decluttering my house healed my mind.
The Mask of a “Clean” Life For years, my apartment seemed fine—at least on the surface. Visitors often commented on how “cute” or “cozy” my place was. But they didn’t notice what was buried behind closet doors, inside kitchen drawers, or under my bed. The truth was, I had mastered the art of “surface cleaning.” With ten minutes’ notice, I could make anything look acceptable: toss papers into a bag, put clutter in a closet, wipe down the counter, and smile.

Human Monsters part 4. AI-Generated.
Lawrence Zink, from his seat, began to strike Nicholas with his fists. Everything that Rowan had said about the two women was essentially information regarding Lawrence's wife and daughter. He could not bear the very existence of the man who had completely destroyed his life.
