The Last Thing We Did Together
I leave the message at 11:43 every night because that’s when you used to come home. I don’t remember deciding that. It isn’t written anywhere. No alarm goes off. My body just knows when it’s time, the way it knows when to swallow or flinch or stop reaching for your side of the bed.

Now Be Thankful
Introduction The inspiration for this was the Fairport Convention song, and while I feel we should be thankful for things in our lives, we should not just accept the bare minimum in things, but we should always be part of what makes things better for us.

The Power of Being Heard
In a world overflowing with opinions, updates, notifications, and endless streams of content, the idea of being heard can feel both simple and impossibly complex. We speak more than ever—through social media posts, voice notes, comments, emails, and messages—yet many people feel deeply unheard. The paradox of modern communication is this: despite having countless platforms to express ourselves, true listening has become rare. The power of being heard, therefore, is not just about speaking louder or more often; it is about meaningful recognition, validation, and connection.

The Shard Below
The cold seeps into my bones quicker these days. Not just the ocean cold, though God knows there's plenty of that down at six hundred feet. No, this cold is older, colder. It's in the marrow, a reminder of what I saw, what I did, what I *didn't* do. I'm too old for this, my hands shaking even before I clip the lines, but I keep coming back. Gotta keep coming back.

When Silence Speaks Louder Than Words
Introduction In a world overflowing with noise—notifications buzzing, opinions flying across social media, and conversations happening at lightning speed—silence has become rare. We are encouraged to speak up, react instantly, and share everything we feel. Yet, amid all this constant expression, silence often carries a power that words simply cannot match. Silence can heal, provoke, protect, and even speak truths that language fails to capture. When used intentionally, silence becomes not an absence of communication but a deeper, more meaningful form of it.

The Gardener's Sin
Elias kept to himself, always had. The old house, tucked away at the edge of town, became a silent fortress, a shell around the strange, pulsating heart of his obsession. Most folks figured he was just eccentric, a man who preferred dirt to company. They didn't know about the garden. Couldn't imagine it.

Side Hustles You Can Start With Zero Investment
The idea that you need money to make money is one of the biggest myths holding people back from building additional income streams. In today’s digital world, your skills, time, and internet connection can be far more valuable than startup capital. Side hustles no longer require office space, inventory, or expensive tools. Many of the most successful online earners started with nothing more than a laptop and determination.

When Power Ignored Responsibility
A Complaint on Trump: When Power Ignored Responsibility Leadership is not measured by how loudly one speaks, but by how carefully one acts. In times of global uncertainty, the world looks to powerful nations not for dominance, but for stability, cooperation, and restraint. When leadership becomes impulsive, personal, or dismissive of global responsibility, the consequences are not limited to borders. They ripple outward, affecting lives far beyond any single nation.

AI Tools That Are Changing Everyday Life
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept reserved for science fiction movies or high-tech laboratories. It has quietly integrated itself into our daily routines, influencing how we work, communicate, shop, learn, and even relax. From the moment we wake up and check our smartphones to the time we go to sleep with a recommended playlist, AI tools are working behind the scenes to make life more efficient, personalized, and connected.

If they had one wish. Content Warning.
Motherhood has always been a goal for me. I remember being 5, rocking babydolls like they were real infants, and playing house with my cousins; me being the oldest, I held the honor of being the parent. It wasn't always a game for me, I was the oldest grandchild next to my sister, who was wheelchair bound. I felt an urgency as a child, to help and rarely complain, because I watched the family dynamic around me.
