Rituals and Hidden Dreams
My name is Alero, waking up at exactly 4 a.m. to do the dishes, cook, clean, and take care of my little cousins was my normal routine at nineteen. At first, I enjoyed this routine because it was a refreshing change from what I was used to. The new environment was beautiful. I loved the spaciousness that my home lacked, the fresh-scented air that replaced the usual mustiness, and the polished furniture that shone like it had been treated with the finest serum. The kitchen, equipped with all the utensils my home never had, motivated me to work with enthusiasm and a smile. Each morning began with bread, scrambled eggs, and hot chocolate that tasted like a nostalgic Christmas feast. I prepared breakfast for my little cousins and waited until they finished eating, savouring my own meal in solitude to fully enjoy each bite of the sandwich. It was filling and satisfying.

My Body; My Glory
The rise of social media has significantly altered how people, particularly women perceive their body. Its striking to see the extent to which women pursue an ideal body image to meet often unattainable beauty standards set by society. Our mental image of ourselves profoundly influences how we view our body. Reflect on these questions: what is your mental representation of your body? How do you perceive yourself? What is your personal thoughts on your appearance? Many individuals seek external validation of their body and when this validation is lacking, they may begin to question their own beauty.
