How Do You See Yourself?
A Bit About Self-Image Self-image is all the things we notice and feel about ourselves, how we believe others see us, and the way we see ourselves in our best version. In short, it’s about how you see yourself and how you think the world and God see you. And it’s not just about how you look. It’s about all your real and imagined qualities and flaws.

Bitter Soup: When Auntie Turned Mean
I was eight years old, and I clutched my spoon tightly. We were having lunch, and I was feeling more anxious than excited about our visit to Aunt Tara’s. I had hoped for warmth and a sense of safety. They were family, after all. Usually, I enjoyed visiting them, but on that day, she managed to turn the atmosphere sour, as if premeditated.

The ‘Black Dog’
We had reached Saturday am , failing to take my anti depressants on the evening before I woke with a killer headache and felt as rough as a badgers backside. I climbed over a sleeping baby a coffee table barricade and wall of pillows to follow my morning ritual of a black coffee and a roll up in the garden to start my day.

"The Shadows of Childhood"
As a child, Sarah was terrified of the dark. She would lie in bed, her heart racing, as the shadows on her wall seemed to come alive. She was convinced that monsters lurked in every corner, waiting to pounce. Her parents would try to reassure her, but the fear was too deep-seated.

Orlando and Beyond
What happens when your best friends invite you on a trip to see a place that you’ve dreamed of visiting your whole life? A chance of a lifetime. For me that chance came in the form of going to Orlando, Florida and seeing Universal Studios up close and personal in spring of 2022.

The Young Girl
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled in the rolling hills of the countryside, there lived a young girl named Lily. She was a bright and curious child, with a heart full of wonder and a mind full of questions. From a tender age, Lily had been fascinated by the world around her, and she spent hours exploring the fields and forests, discovering hidden streams and secret meadows.

Top 5 Countries With the Highest Rape Crime in 2024
Rape is a particularly complex crime to analyse. In several parts of the world, it is very rarely reported. Women in some countries are much less likely to have their complaint recorded, due to the extreme social stigma cast on women who have been raped, or subjected to violence or the fear of being disowned by their families.

Childhood memories
It has been raining heavily these days. Rainy days are the best time to reminisce about the past. I especially enjoy reminiscing about my childhood. My childhood was spent in a village. Those childhood days were wonderful. Now I'm tired of staying in the city all the time. I have only been to my hometown in the past 14 years. I miss those old days so much.

Let's Dig in Dirt and Roll Down Grassy Hills
The weather is slowly but surely warming up. Spring has taken its rightful place as we bid winter good bye. I've always enjoyed the spring time. I'd say its easily my second favorite season after autumn. Now, we're almost into summer.

The Longest Language Journey Back. Top Story - May 2024.
When you have a godawful experience for years (perhaps French lessons) and need to write about it as part of the healing process and already you feel parts of your cognitive machinery trying to “clean it up” (guess it’s French lessons) for public viewing by default since it’s likely to make some toes curl up (sorry, but definitively French lessons.)
