An Open Letter To The Woman Who Got Me Fired
Dear Woman Who Got Me Fired, I can't deny that you've crossed my mind often since the day I encountered you. I was already having trouble when you came into my workplace and started throwing your adult temper tantrum. You were angry because there were security tags on the thong flip flops that your daughter wanted to try on. The flip flops were a couple of sizes too small for your daughter's feet, but both of you thought the tiny security strip was the reason your daughter's size eleven feet weren't fitting in a size eight or nine.

How Anime made me a writer
When I was about 13 years old I was such a dorky kid, I wasn’t bullied per say but I was a teacher’s pet and I loved getting good grades. I had Harry Potter glasses (super hip now, of course) that I did get made fun of for but I really didn’t pay attention.

Elderly Caregivers' Unknown Plight - Being Abused by the Elderly They Are Trying to Protect
Narcissistic Abuse It is a shocking circumstance that some older parental figures, particularly relatives who give everyday administrations to their debilitated moms/fathers, are enduring peacefully as they persevere through mental or mental maltreatment from their elderly folks who have gotten egotistical, controlling, and manipulative to get what they need when they need it.

Try Try Try
I love to write. I have always loved to write, as long as I could remember. It is a big part of myself. Ever since I could start to read I wanted to be an author. But along the years I started to lose myself. I tried different places to write and publish work and nothing gets read more. Though It may have been FanFiction and I was only a tween, I started to lose faith. Then a few partners of mine took writing away from me to a point I just didn't want to anymore.

How I Became the Managing Director of A Company at 23
I'd just gotten out of the surf and opened the door of my van when I could hear the faint rhythmic buzzing of ringing phone in the glovebox. I leaned over the front seat and fished through its messy contents until I grabbed my phone and answered.

Anxiety Struggles
Writing has been in my blood since before I can remember. I have short stories that I had written back from when I was five or six years old, granted they barely make sense now, but even from a young age I loved writing and reading. Going through primary school and then on to high school, English was always my strongest subject and I would devour book after book. As I got older and gained more responsibilities, I read less but still tried to keep the imagination alive by thinking of short stories, characters and scenarios. Towards the end of year ten in 2002 at high school my direction and thoughts changed as I was leaning towards design in terms of architecture or interior design as a possible career path. This was all while working part time in a supermarket, and by year eleven I was barely keeping up with working part time and study. Making the decision to leave school in 2003 before half way was a tough decision. It was a decision my parents and I had talked about and that whatever decision I made, they would support me regardless.

Thrifting for Good
I am the Thrifting Queen and I rose to my throne in the year of Our Lord 2000. This is the story of my ascension. I grew up in Egypt. On the streets of Cairo there were ambulant merchants who passed through nice neighborhoods. They bought high-quality, barely used items from the wealthy families and then pulled their carts over to the poor neighborhoods for resale. These scavenging middlemen would begin their day by leading their donkey carts through the streets of my Heliopolis – one of the ‘nice’ neighborhoods with trees – and call out “rubabecia” or becia, for short. This is not an Arabic word. It has Italian origin and it means ‘old items’.
