Childhood
AS TOLD BY: A Boy Mom No Longer
It all came to a head on Christmas day 2022. I'm a mother of three; two outstanding, smart, and creative girls. And my son, the youngest fun, charming, energetic and friendly. It's always an event on Christmas, me and my husband have the biggest house in our family (ranch), so we have both sides of our families come over, lots of exhaustion, planning and cooking but it's always a hoot. This year was special because my evil mother-in-law decided to come over after and she could be extremely judgey and I WAS a people pleaser.

the moment you came in
it was the month of July, started going to school after a really long time. It was all so fun, meeting friends daily, being so focused on studies after a long period of time and spending more quality with family because just started feeling happy again, it was all great, everything was so peaceful. Then there was a day, when i met you, basically you added me, you came to me, you talked to me, and you were so good to me, how could i just not fall for you after everything i had been through, i gave me another chance. it was somewhat last week of July when we started seeing each other in the hallways of our school, i did told my friends about you, and then was pretty damn shocked when i got your request. so yeah we started talking and then there was a day when you came to my class, you waited and i was a bit moved because yeah don't got much people who literally wait for me. we walked around, talked a lot, also laughed a bit. it was so good. we started being friends, we talked a lot actually, started to get attached to you. i used to think that was probably another mistake of my life because just everybody leaves and no one was that much able whom i could trust fully. so yeah, moving forward we met a few times, until we stopped talking for a bit and that's when you gave a shock. on 15th of October you told me you had someone, that was probably very sad for me, but i was happy for you, i don't know why but i just was, i wanted you to be happy with anyone you were. that's when i knew that i had fallen for you, i felt everything, hurt and agitated, happy for you yet upset most of time but that was all fine until you had that precious smile of yours on your goddamn face. time passed by, we came more close, became good friends, used to meet, talk daily. but i just didn't feel right because the way you were with me was totally different, it made me feel you had something for me which you didn't. so yeah that was a bit tough for me, i needed an excuse daily to not get too much attached to you. The day came, when i thought I'll tell you how i feel, but just couldn't collect the guts to say it to you, well but you knew and you kept on asking till i said it, your reply was mild because of course you could not say it back. the day you said i want to tell you something, i just couldn't even imagine that you would ever say that, i just wished and wishes don't often come true, at least mine doesn't, he-he. it was a bit hard for me to stay onto you for that long time, like literal months i waited for you, and i still would wait for you if you said so, i can wait my whole life for you, just reassure me i wouldn't regret it, that you would show the same efforts, that's all i want. anyways, there was also a day when i lost hope, i thought of giving up on everything and just not talk with anyone, but you, you didn't even let me go, you said it back, the first time you said it was on 1st of December then on 3rd of December you confirmed it, but again you needed time, i started questioning myself , that am i that bad or what, but yeah hoped for the best. it was the evening of 18th December you said it again, now with surety that yeah i do. It's just everything about you which made me fell for you pretty damn hard, your smile, your nature, the way you look, and you, indeed smell so good. i just wanna take care of you, be with you, experience new things with you, wanna do everything with you for the first time again. we did have so much fun on 27th, at the DJ, it was so fun he-he spending time with you, watching you dance, it was so beautiful. every time i tried to find you or found you, i saw you looking at me, i just felt so great. there wasn't a single moment i didn't thought of you. Ah the farewell, it really was the best day of 2022, the last and the best, because it was with you. the dance, can't even forget it never. i do wanna spend time with you, like a lot, which hopefully comes true. i do got many more things to write but ain't able to think of much right now. so yeah I'll end it here for now.

Who Am I?
Who Am I? "Who am I?" This profound question arises in everyone’s mind at least once in their lifetime. It is a question that prompts us to reflect on our existence, our purpose, and the significance of our lives. Who am I? What is my identity? What is the meaning of my life? These are not easy questions to answer. Understanding oneself is not a straightforward journey—it is an evolving process shaped by struggles, joys, sorrows, and failures.

A Tapestry of Leadership: Reflections on the Lives and Legacies of Former US Presidents
An unexpected melody from a long-forgotten hit can transport us to moments we thought were tucked away forever. With it comes a flood of memories—of places, people, and who we were at the time. This phenomenon isn’t limited to music. A similar effect unfolded at Jimmy Carter’s funeral, where the rare gathering of former U.S. presidents became a living portrait of history, unity, and leadership.

Moments of Life – Live, Experience, and Stay Happy
Moments of Life – Live, Experience, and Stay Happy Life is a beautiful amalgamation of moments, each distinct and irreplaceable. Some moments overflow with joy, while others bring challenges and sorrow. At times, we find ourselves basking in the glory of success, and at others, we navigate the rough waters of struggle. However, every single moment, regardless of its nature, holds immense value because it is an inseparable part of our journey. Recognising the significance of these moments, cherishing them with gratitude, and living them wholeheartedly is where the true beauty of life lies.

My Hardest Moments: Letting Go and Finding Peace
People arrive and depart as they see fit. Learned this phrase when? I didn't completely understand at the time how someone could mean so much and then disappear the next second. When I went through it myself, it was a concept I found difficult to understand or accept because I had formed strong attachments to some people. I had the mental impression that I needed to take action to change the current situation. Anything that would allow them to stay, even if it meant causing me inconvenience. I was unaware that I had fallen into this trap. I put myself in a trap that made me vacillate back and forth.

Forgive Yourself!
Forgive Yourself! In life, we make mistakes repeatedly. Some are unintentional, while others are the result of our actions. These mistakes often leave a deep imprint on our minds, compelling us to relive them and blame ourselves. Dwelling on these mistakes, however, traps us in a cycle of guilt and self-reproach, disrupting our mental peace and well-being. In such situations, forgiving yourself becomes essential to restore inner calm and find mental happiness.

A Summer of Quiet Confessions. AI-Generated.
The air in the small town of Elmsbridge seemed thicker in the summer, as though the warmth carried the weight of unspoken words. Time moved languidly, the days stretching long and slow, but beneath the surface of its quiet streets and sunlit meadows, lives brimmed with untold stories.
