Lie To Me Issue # 6. Content Warning.
Packing up, saying goodbye to some of the friends that I had made during my year in hiding, I purchased a ticket back to the city. I was ready. Getting back to the city was easy, it was what I would do once I was there that kept me perplexed. I had no place to stay, no way to get around, an Ex out in the wild who was all too willing to exact her revenge. Getting back to the city the very first thing I needed to do was find a job, I called my old boss from my food truck days, it was tough, as they already had a really good staff going and didn’t need help. I must be grateful because they showed me kindness and gave me some measly hours that I could use to help get my foot in the door. I remember negotiating with two of my coworkers (they would later go on to become two of my best friends) for some hours on the weekend that I could take from them, I knew that they would want a free weekend and that I could make the most amount of tips on the weekend when everyone was out.

people who woke up at their own funeral
Funerals are naturally somber occasions. However, imagine the perplexity that would arise if the woman whose funeral you were attending unexpectedly appeared at her own ceremony. In such a situation, I would swiftly retreat to a safer location. Astonishingly, this is not a hypothetical scenario; it actually occurred in 2015. Moreover, this is not an isolated incident, as there have been numerous instances where individuals have seemingly defied logic and appeared at their own funerals. Therefore, let us prepare ourselves for some astonishing tales as we delve into the times when people defied expectations and made an appearance at their own funeral.

A Dragon's Love
It is difficult for me to write about women who have inspired me. While I am drawn to strong women, they also repel me. I gravitate like a satellite in their general orbit, yet I struggle with the abuse and betrayal of so many women in my life, that I tend to feel more comfortable around men. With that said, the women in my life have been few. They have also been mighty.

The Power of Confession: Healing and Transformation
In a world where vulnerability is often seen as a weakness, the act of confession stands out as a powerful tool for healing and transformation. Confession, in its essence, is the act of acknowledging one's faults, mistakes, or sins. While traditionally associated with religious practices, confession has a much broader application in our daily lives, offering a path to emotional, mental, and spiritual growth.

Lie To Me. Issue #5. Content Warning.
Working in the casino taught me many, many, things, I met many peers that taught me some important lessons I carry to this day. I made new friends, and lost those friends, I met a kindred spirit (we will call him Brandon). Brandon was kind, he was funny, he was lost. We almost instantly hit it off through our humor, we shared the same perspective on life, he had endured his own hardships somewhat similar to mine. We simply differed on one aspect; Brandon wanted to find someone to settle down with while I was wanting to be alone at least for the time being. We would call each other when we were too much in our own heads. For some reason we could just talk each other down like it was second nature. Brandon and I worked the same shifts, we took the same breaks, and we would hang outside of work. He got me into exercising properly, taught me that we can just laugh for no reason no harm in that, we taught each other resiliency.
