Childhood
A Soldier's Keepsake
In a small town tucked away in the Midwest, old men gathered at a local diner every Saturday morning. They called themselves the "Veterans’ Breakfast Club," a tradition that had started decades ago when they first returned from war. These men, now with silver hair and faces etched by time, came together not just to share coffee and toast but to relive memories that connected them in a way no one else could understand.

On survival.
On survival. The question of existence still haunts me in the silence of the stillness that loneliness brings with it. To be or not to be, to exist in the coexistence of dualistic forces, to dance with the uncertainty or to play it along the periphery, what I hold certain, has always questioned me, bemoaned me. Truth be told, I beheld the cry for help when its absence called in silent whispers around the blanket of dwelling and absconded its abundant presence over me. There is a painting that traces the bits of serenity in my life, the colors that adorn the hues of the almighty run deep through the veins of my soul to find the brevity of pain. I glance at the picture of Lord Krishna, reminiscing the days that passed by. Darkness sets its sterility in the brimming light of today, as the dawn of today paints itself in the colours of the dusk of yesterday.

Querencia- The place where I draw my strength.
Querencia- The place where I draw my strength. To be or not to be, to thrive or just be merely alive to survive, is a question I have often pondered upon. What does being alive mean? Does it mean extrapolating in the exteriors of materialistic drawls, of forging in an existence that is concealed with the perfectionism of having it all?

Sometimes I really wanna run away and start over and just not tell anyone. I love my husband. I do. I love my in laws, I love my life. Or at least I loved it. When my husband started developing a social media addiction, it turned into him secretly snap chatting random women. As someone who wanted marriage to be the one safe thing I’ve had in my life, This hit so hard. Honestly? It feels like after we got married he felt like he could stop trying. It’s so hard on my spirit. I have poured myself into him and worked so hard to build the life I’m living. But I had dreams too. I was a girl once. who only had to be young and pretty. I have always been obsessed with geology,i have begged him to go rock hounding with me a million times. Nope. Singing is another passion of mine and has been a big part of my life. I’ll listen to him talk about guitar for hours but when I start up about singing, he often gets distracted and trails off into a different subject. In a lot of ways I feel invisible in my own marriage/life. I have no family. nobody who cares. I often fantasize about running away to a different country or somewhere across the states, and just healing. I am chronically ill though and my husband pays most of the bills so it’s not really in the cards for me until I get some money stacked. For now it’s just a fantasy. Just wanted to get that off my chest. I feel so wound up all the time.

An ode to imposter syndrome
An ode to imposter syndrome Self-worth and self-belief are the two sides of the same coin. We all have seeds of self-doubt planted within us, either from our inner limiting beliefs, trauma or negative projections of other people’s opinions. It is hilarious how we place our self-esteem in the hands of others with ease and then find ourselves in the labyrinth of negative perceptions of ourselves or dwindling confidence in our abilities. Life is a paradox, to heal you must be hurt, amid the most massive of pain and breakdown lies the most eminent breakthrough you would ever receive. If you want confidence and faith in your abilities, you must swim through the turbulent ocean of self-doubt and insecurity.

Bryce’s Journey
**Interviewer:** Tell me all about Bryce. **Mom:** Bryce was born and adopted by us. He was a healthy baby boy, but at three-and-a-half weeks, he suffered from severe shaken baby syndrome. This traumatic event led to a brain injury and several broken bones. He was on life support for two months. We were in the midst of our foster parent training when we encountered his case. On the day we were to sign our license, our caseworker presented us with a referral. Although she reassured us the child was in care, the referral contained complex jargon. As we read through it, we realized it was Bryce’s case. The details of his injuries were shocking and heartbreaking.
