Embarrassment

End of the Line
The old train station stood as a forgotten relic, a monument to a bygone era. Its rusted tracks, weathered platforms, and the melancholic echo of distant train whistles told tales of journeys taken and destinies altered. At the heart of this dilapidated station, there was a bench, battered by time, where an unlikely connection was about to unfold.

Algorithm of Emotions
Algorithm of emotions does not exist. What I mean is, what we feel isn't not the same as following a ruleset to define what we must feel if conditions are met. I ruled the day that I would be overruled. To meet someone like me was to meet someone old and not new. You came at random and I dispute your own catfish, your friends disregarded, the goals you had was not mine to share. So much alike that we are actually different. You hated chocolate while I was indifferent. You saw the world as a need for order. Do things your way because it's better and causes no torture. To imagine that I had a future with someone I had fun with, became open and communicative so nobody can plead the fifth. Finally able to think for myself and to be, or so I thought.

Surprises for Me About my Husband
Now, what does that mean, “Women don’t think the same way men do!”? Hubby’s oldest daughter clued me in when we first started to date. She said, “The best way to get my dad’s attention is in the truck. You can talk to him, and he can’t escape!”

Gratitude in Heartbreak: Finding Strength and Wisdom in Unanswered Love
In the quiet aftermath of our unraveling, where the echoes of promises once spoken lingered like delicate whispers, I discovered a profound gratitude for the unexpected turns life took. The bitterness of unchosen paths began to dissolve, replaced by a clarity that only time and introspection can bring. As the days turned into nights, I found solace in the wisdom that not being chosen by you was indeed a blessing in disguise.

Cringe. Content Warning.
Ah puberty. That really uncomfortable stage in your life where everything is just changing. Just being a teenager in itself is awkward and a frightening experience to go through. It's lifechanging. I've got a few weird stories from that time in my life that I've been thinking about lately. I went to a Catholic school growing up. I've got a lot of fond memories of that school and quite a few bad ones too. But the good outweigh the bad. Kids can just be mean. I remember the days where I dreaded going to school because of what was going on with me at the time. I was just filled with so much anxiety back then. I shared my first relationship and first kiss story a couple weeks ago. If you haven't read that one I highly recommend you check it out because that was an extremely embarrassing story from my childhood.

W.
It is Friday, the last full day of my vacation back with the family in a sleepy little town - okay, Hamilton - with all of my packing almost done. The day was spent on clothes-choosing, book-sorting, food-prepping activities, along with a short run in the old neighbourhood, a little light reading, and observations of the World Juniors (Canada needs to step up its game). I have another Top Story for a longer piece that needs two more chapters (I promise you all they are coming). And I am now happy to report that I have received some extra classes and will be able to relax a little bit around tax time.

The Words You Say May Last A Moment. Content Warning.
Here recently I have been doing a lot of self-reflection as I try to remember who I am, what I am, and how that all can flow together. I have plenty of bad memories, but I wanted to write tonight about a few comforting memories I have had recently.

Happy New Year
Happy new year everyone! I hope everyone had a fun and safe one! Mine didn't go quite as planned, as my family came down with a cold. I did however finish the Supernatural series. I had prolonged finishing it for years for many reasons but one was I just didn't want it to end. It actually felt incredibly fitting to finish it on this particular New Years Eve. I closed out a lot of my past in 2023, so many ties that should have been closed out long ago. I am trying to be as optimistic as I can about the upcoming year.

The Fireworks Exploded Love
I had party for New Year's, I was pretty excited considering there was a boy I was looking forward to seeing going to be there. Well... it's more complicated than it is. You see, we dated for a couple months then broke up and now we are just on and off.

Leave the past behind: A guide to moving on and finding happiness.
There are no written guidelines on how to survive. Sometimes I really believe it, that I am going to save my life. I didn’t realize how suffocating that house could be until I left. All of the doors look like me leaving. I hate how everyone expects me to bounce back like that is so easy. It’s not that simple. Dealing with everything at once can feel overwelming. Many people assume I’m fine so they don’t ask anymore. It’s like I have to put on a happy face for everyone around me even when I am not okay. It’s hard.

Anxiety Sucks
Everyday I wake up never knowing what the day is going to look like. Is today going to be a good and productive day, or will today be another day fighting my thoughts and irrational fears? Most days I am okay, as I have been better at managing things. Others are so bad just doing one small thing takes the most out of me. Ever since the pandemic I've gotten really bad agoraphobia and only leave the house when I have to, or feel like I can. The amount of self talk that I have to do sometimes is crazy to me, but I keep trying anyway.
