Childhood
Falling Flowers
In winter, everything withers, the north wind is sluggish, and the snowy road is alone. Sparse people, the whole over are wrapped in clothes like a dumpling, the face can not see the face, hands can not see the hands, some children are like a big fat cotton ball, very cute. People walk up a clatter, thick white snow, leaving a string of footprints, different sizes, shades of different, looking from afar as if the clothes are strange pictures.

I could not stay in that house anymore
I could not take my home life anymore. My parents were addicts and in my eyes, they cared more about their drugs than their own kids. This is how I felt for many years. I would notice how we just had nothing and both my parents worked and worked good jobs some years and we never had a pot to piss in.

Are some friends really only meant to stay for a little while?
I have been extremely busy and have lost some motivation to do my online recruiting work! Sometimes I wish I was a mom already and had a husband who would take care of the finances, but also maybe when I have that life, I would crave and miss young Dom who had the freedom to pick up her life and move anywhere she desired.

what it feels like to be a woman with ADHD
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) begins in childhood, which is when a lot of individuals are diagnosed. However, the number of adults being diagnosed with ADHD is growing — in particular women that seemed to slip through the cracks earlier in their lives due to an atypical presentation of the disease.

Apologetic letter to my inner child
To my younger self, Where do I begin? Apologies are not our strongest point but I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you never got the chance to heal, my love. From traumas that seemed so trivial like parents' divorces, family arguments, moving states and adult problems. You are just a child how could have you had the chance?

The Forest
That night I went many, many miles away. It was a flight to go, with huge black wings, darker than the color of the night sky. The wind whistled past my ears and under my wings, and below me were white rivers and red forests and purple forests and blue oceans. They were close together, the edges blending into the most beautiful dividing line. There is not a single mountain here. I kept flying.
