From City Lights to Quiet Streets
I recently had lunch with a dear friend — one of those friends where you start with the obligatory “what’s new since I last saw you (four years ago)” and quickly digress into the suffocating loneliness we both feel as women over 30. She aptly summed it up: “You are the total of those who surround you, and I am the sum of a 50-year-old man and a 10-year-old boy.”

Stac-y
What's a name so sweet that one cannot tell another? He wanted to learn her name, yet she refused to, comparable to the tale of Romeo and whom he loved, whose name he could not speak after her rumored death.

"We often think we have more time, only to find it’s already gone."
I thought I had time. I always believed there would be more time—more days, more moments, more breaths shared between us.

Embracing Virginity at 28
**Introduction** In a society that often equates sexual experience with maturity and success, being a 28-year-old virgin can feel like an anomaly. However, the journey of maintaining virginity by choice or circumstance is deeply personal and valid. This article explores my story and provides insights for others who might share similar experiences or simply want to understand the perspective better.

Diary Of Narcissistic Abuse. Content Warning.
Being in this relationship is like chasing my tail continuously. One minute I am happy and the next it is all over. I have been walking on egg shells in the new house around him and I know for a fact that his actions are my problem.

Diary Of Narcissistic Abuse . Content Warning.
A lot has happened since the last miserable entries. ( see below)The man moved out an it is fair to say that life took a huge downward spiral for a long time. I think him moving out at the time seemed like a huge nail in a coffin that was full of rusting nasty nails. Going into work was my only salvation at the time. I was so confused and the sense of loss was so great that it was like looking out of a child's eyes waiting for her dad to come.

Diary Of Narcissistic Abuse. Content Warning.
After 3 rough years I never thought to ask whether he was committed. Committed to me, or the relationship or.. I just assumed that. What a punch to the gut to realise that when someone says they want you to be happy it doesn't include them actually participating in the happiness making. This man has made me so miserable over the years with his wishy washy attitude to committing that it has left me insecure and needy. I am a shadow of my former self. He cares nothing for me and thinks nothing of just ignoring my messages when it suits. I just need to get through one more day and his things will be gone and I can finally move on..

History Of Narcissistic Abuse. Content Warning.
So after writing in this journal def stops me from being miserable or feeling misery which is slightly different I feel. I slept till half 6 after man gate and obviously my head was full of sadness but not over spilling into talking to the man who doesn't deserve my time currently. I got the child ready for school and head off.. I sat in my car just feeling like a giant glum sits on my shoulders as I think about going home where my life is pretty miserable mostly. I decided to drop in my keys and go to my mums instead. Not to be childish but I don't need the drama and resentment in my life.

LONDON AND OTHER THINGS.. These diary entries are from 7 years ago. The different text is added to explain here in 2024. So Thursday I'n crying about the mans lack of any affection and lack of any accountability for anything at all and then Fri the nice one was back and I'm surrounded by love and care once again.. I feel like i'm on a roller coaster that I'm refusing to get off. I feel like I was supportive all weekend, I had a lovely time bar being dragged along the road at top speed by a 6ft 2 stride man who never notices I'm always running next to him. I almost ended up with a large latte bath Sunday for reasons I still don't know but apart from that it was good..

Dirty Laundry
As much as people stress about the struggle with companionship and their numerous failed attempts at finding “The One” I find myself late at night laying on my twin-sized bed right next to a mountain of unfolded laundry. So I ask myself, am I even ready for that kind of thing? Not the companionship. But just the responsibility of having someone in my circle. As I write this well, I already told you. I’m lying on my twin-sized bed beside a giant mountain of unfolded clothes. What I didn’t mention is that it’s been here for nearly 5 days now. Don’t worry it's clean! Well, at least I think so. After I took my clothes out of the machine I had them in my laundry bag. But then I ran into that problem where I was wearing dirty clothes with no place to them. I use this half-ripped bag hamper hanging from my door as the primary location to keep my dirty clothes. When it’s not available (like it hasn’t been for a few days before I threw all my clothes on my bed. I’m kind of fucked because I no longer have a place to put my dirty clothes. I can probably assume your next question. So then where do you put your dirty clothes in the meantime when you’re being too lazy to put your clothes away? Before I answer that in order to avoid a bit of judgment. I would like to say that I believe in the idea of “out of sight, out of mind.” I am not sure who stated that quote but they are genius and knew exactly what they were talking about.

A Night of Romance
It was a serene evening, the kind where the moon hung low in the sky, casting a silver glow over everything it touched. The air was filled with the scent of blooming jasmine, and the night seemed to hold its breath in anticipation. It was under this enchanting moonlight that a simple question led to a night of unforgettable romance.

Officially, President Abdul Fattah el-Sisi explains the reasons for his support for the Israeli entity, stating that he wants what is best for Egypt by supporting Israel.
### Part 1: Historical Context of Egyptian-Israeli Relations To understand President Sisi's current policy towards Israel, we must look at the shared history between the two countries. Egyptian-Israeli relations began after the signing of the Camp David Accords in 1978, which led to peace between Egypt and Israel after decades of conflicts and wars. This agreement was supervised by the United States and included Egypt's regaining of the Sinai Peninsula, a crucial condition for establishing peace with Israel.
