FEAR IN THINKING IS THIS ABILITY OR ILLNESS
In a bustling yet lonely city for a man named Benjamin, his life is filled with uniqueness that is difficult to explain to others. Since childhood, he has realized that his mind does not work like most people. His memory and understanding of the world are so sharp, as if his brain is an infinite storage, recording every event in detail that is impossible to forget. He can remember meetings 10 or even 30 years ago, complete with seconds, hours, and words spoken, as if it all happened yesterday.

32 Years of Black History
Hey. How you doin? You know, I would tell you my name, but clearly you found my story so it’s quite clear that you already know who I am. Well yesterday was my 32nd birthday, so you know what that means? Exactly. It means I’m half of 60 and I’m getting old, but it also means that during this month that celebrates Black history I now represent 32 years of Black History.

Strong
People are always telling me how strong I am, how resilient, how I always bounce back no matter the storm. I'm always told how brave I am and that I am looked at as people's hero for the way I just keep going through the hard no matter what as if I'm some unstoppable force. I'm always told I'll get through it because well, I always do and while yes, all these things are true and wonderful to be told; it's not easy. Yes, I do always rise from the dead, I do always keep going through the fire with gritted teeth but here is what you don't see...

An ode to being lost in life
Because when you just dream about it in your heart, work hard for it and believe in the universe to perform its magic, it conspires in the best-designated ways to make your dreams come true. I have always believed in the higher power, something beyond the fathomable vision of the human eye that beholds us, ties us to our purpose and protects us in times of uncertainty and dejection. It is comforting to know that some mighty and divine force beckons us in moments of need and sometimes all we need to do is let go and have faith. Life in its truest mirth often transcends through the truces of rationalisation and delusion, through the light of knowing exactly what to do and under the traces of pretence which hides the scariest part, not having a single clue as to where your life is going.

A Writer's Confession
Four years ago I realized I was living my life in bad faith. Shackles to my wrists. Chain and ball to my foot, a rusty sword above my head, the nagging voices of the many, held so close for no reason, rendering me voiceless for too long. One morning, an epiphany. Freed at last of them all I embraced my decision, hardened my resolve, for better or worse.

Through the Glass, Darkly
A picture frame sits on the mantel, its edges gathering dust. The once-vibrant colors inside have begun to fade, their sharpness softened by time. A family of three smiles back from behind the glass—a man, a woman, and a small boy, no older than five. Their happiness, captured in that instant, is eternal. But for the man standing before it now, glass in hand, it is a relic of another life.
