Embarrassment

The Letter at Dawn
In a small riverside town, there was an old stationery shop about to close its doors for good. The owner, Koichi, an 80-year-old man living alone, was spending his final night there.

My Top 3 Best and Worst Money Choices
Let's start with this: I don’t really have regrets with how I’ve used my money. Yes, I definitely consider some of how I’ve spent money to be a mistake, but I’m an optimist. More than that: I’m a lifelong student. I’ve learned from these mistakes.

Bestfriend
Hey Girl, it's me your Best Friend I know we don't talk much but I need to say a few things so sit down shut up and just Listen. The night we met you were scared out of your mind do to your current Boyfriend at that time being in one of his moods yet you saw something in me that made you feel safe a complete stranger. Funny looking back it makes me smile; you had a black eye from where you told me you ran into something but I knew you were lying, I offered a safe haven at my stepmoms place, I blew off my probation meeting risking jail time to make sure you were safe.

The Space Between Prayers
Story: The Space Between Prayers I grew up in a neighborhood where church bells rang on Sundays, the mosque filled with calls to prayer on Fridays, and the local temple smelled of incense and jasmine every evening.

The Coin I Almost Believed In
Story: The Coin I Almost Believed In I still remember the first time I heard the word crypto. It sounded like something out of a sci-fi movie. Mysterious. Futuristic. Dangerous. And I, sitting in my tiny apartment with half a pizza and a barely functioning laptop, was hooked from the start.

How Saying No Saved My Heart
I used to think that being kind meant always saying yes. Yes to favors. Yes to plans I didn’t want to attend. Yes to staying in relationships that chipped away at my spirit—because I didn’t want to hurt someone else’s feelings.

My Maid of Honor Slept with My Fiancé
Weddings are supposed to be the happiest day of your life. I spent two years preparing for mine—carefully planning every detail. The flowers. The playlist. The dress. And most importantly, who would stand beside me: my best friend since fifth grade, Amanda, as my maid of honor.

Is Masturbation a Sin?. Content Warning.
Masturbation is a topic that stirs up a lot of debate, especially within religious circles. Many people wonder if it's something that goes against their faith. The Bible doesn't explicitly mention masturbation, which complicates the discussion.

Fair Travel
Most people dream of traveling, some are commissioned to travel, and others are born to travel. Whatever category you fall under, we're all responsible for being fair and respectful during our travels. This may be considered a common concept to some; however, to others, this is a far reach to achieve. I've been traveling across the world for over 15 years, and it never ceases to amaze me the gall some people have when visiting another country. I suspect that if you never learn humility or the basics of human respect from either your family or school, it's difficult to acquire or display the characteristics of a noble soul. I wrote a blog post 10 years ago about this topic, and it seems humanity is not improving, more specifically, people from the West. Now, before I get too many boos and hisses, I grew up in North America, so I have credibility when it comes to knowing Western culture, and I am not leaving out bad actors from the East either. I will have to say, compared to the rest of the world, Western culture is one of the most abrasive and unyielding. I don't know why the erragance persists, I just wish it would stop or at least decrease. We're in 2025, and people still haven't learned diplomacy and tolerance.

Confessions of a Former Alcoholic Part 2
These days, I am in a position to maintain my sobriety in general. Having a large level of self-control is required in order to engage in activities such as writing and serious hobbies. Deals are made in an atmosphere where alcohol is prevalent, particularly in the business sector, in order to weaken the willpower of business people. However, I am aware that now I want to avoid going to bars as much as possible.

The Silence I Inherited
In the country where I currently live, the world often feels upside down. Every day brings a fresh dose of absurdity. People drive recklessly, drunk and unaware of consequences. Laws seem like mere suggestions, and the streets are filled with chaos. I don’t engage with much of it—I stay away. I have learned to withdraw, to protect my peace by limiting my contact with others.

“When Silence Echoes Between Us”
It’s strange how, after all this time, my mind still drifts back to you. Not daily. Not intensely. But enough to make me stop and wonder: Why now? Why still?
