The Silent Thief: A Reflection on Time
The Silent Thief: A Reflection on Time Time is the one thing we all have, yet none of us truly own. It is constant, unyielding, and indifferent to our hopes and fears. We measure our lives in seconds, minutes, hours—milestones that mark our existence—but in reality, time flows beyond our control. And while we chase it, beg for it, or wish it away, it always slips through our fingers, a silent thief we cannot outrun.

How I Married My Best Friend's Girlfriend
We all went to high school together and were just normal kids. They started dating in grade 10 when we were about 16. As we grew up, he just… didn’t. He turned into a mopey user who never held down a job. His hand was always out for anything offered to him, yet he kept meticulous track of every cigarette he ever gave someone, just in case his dad bought him a pack or something.

The Immutable Law of Karma
The Immutable Law of Karma Karma forms the foundation of life itself. Every action we take—whether deliberate or unintentional—becomes part of the intricate web of karma. Unlike legal justice delivered in courtrooms, karma operates within the sacred chambers of our conscience and the infinite balance of the universe.

Togetherness
Introduction In August 2023 I decided to make the effort to take out my sister Yvonne for a Birthday lunch in Preston. We made plans to meet and all was going well until a derailment at Carlisle meant that all trains going south were cancelled. I had to turn around and had to head home to Newcastle and we decided to try and reschedule.

Letter of gratitude
My dear and wonderful dad I wish I’d had the chance to tell you everything I’m about to tell you, face to face. But then again…maybe in life, we always end up taking for granted the time we have left at our disposal. We tend to think there’s always going to be more of it and so these sorts of things are left for the next day…and then the next… and so on and so forth. It’s also possible I didn’t tell you these things face to face because in doing so, we would’ve had to admit that we were running out of time. And if we had ever done that…well…we would’ve come undone and you and I both know that to be true.

Dear Hodgy
Dear Ashlyn Nora-Sue Hodges aka Hodgy, Of course I was gonna call you by your full government. That’s just how we roll. I call you by your full name because you always call me by my full name. These are just some of the little puns we throw at each other, but it’s all out of love and one of the many reasons I am grateful for you.

A letter to Brandon
Dear Brandon, I honestly don’t know how I’m gonna start this letter, so I’m just gonna wing it. So me and you have a common person, Peggy. It was a little over a year ago when my adoptive mother first introduced me to you. She had just been through a big new shift in her life and you ended up being part of that shift. I’ll never forget the day she first told me about you.

In today’s fast-paced world, everyone seems to be running after something — some chase success, some pursue wealth, while others yearn for love and acceptance. Amidst this constant rush, we often forget one crucial thing: to look at ourselves, understand our needs, and live for ourselves. Life is a unique gift given by nature, so why should we let it be affected by what others say or do?
