"Just Not Good Enough". Top Story - October 2023.
Am I the only one who's tired of losing? Maybe I shouldn't be looking at situations as "loss" or "win", but how do you not? Everyone searches for value and self-worth. A little winning goes a long way to supporting that. Is it so much to ask, to just win once in a while?

The Life Style of A Servant
Recently I came back to my hometown in the north village in China. I lived the country life again after being alone in Shanghai for several months. I felt so lonely to live in Shanghai by myself and so happy to live with my family members together again. The weather in Liaoning Province was very dry and clear. The nature scenery here was so pure and peaceful. I felt an instant healing when I gazed at those corn field and green hills. It helps me forget all about the stress and sadness in the big city.

The Hidden Fixer
The Hidden Fixer Can adults hide under the bed too? I yearn to escape, to retreat, or simply vanish from existence. The thought of not being a concern to anyone consumes me. If only I could disappear without a trace, leaving behind the burdens that weigh me down. Since childhood, whenever I made mistakes, an overwhelming urge to hide beneath my bed would take hold of me. In those moments, I longed to shrink myself into insignificance, to become invisible to the world. I desired to block out my senses, to be enveloped in darkness and white noise, where the chaos of life couldn't reach me. The weight of expectations and judgments, both external and self-imposed, suffocates me, urging me to seek refuge in solitude.

A Story of Quiet Association
A Story of Quiet Association In the domain of human connection, words frequently become the dominant focal point, filling in as the medium through which contemplations, sentiments, and thoughts are conveyed. However, in the calm spaces between spoken phrases, a significant discussion can unfurl — one that rises above phonetic limits and tracks down articulation in nuances, signals, and shared encounters. Such is the excellence of the implicit discussion, a strong story that can unfurl in various settings, each saturated with its exceptional vibe.

A Journey to Self-Acceptance
Janet sat alone in her dimly lit room, the soft glow of her laptop screen casting eerie shadows across her face. She had always been the type to immerse herself in her work, finding solace in the world of coding and algorithms. But tonight, the lines of code on her screen seemed more like a jumbled mess than the elegant solutions she usually crafted. Something was gnawing at her, a feeling she couldn't quite put into words.

Bullying on the Runanga School Bus in 1973...
We lived about three miles from the nearest high school so we had to catch the School Bus into Greymouth. The bus started its journey at Runanga. I observed bullying on the bus but I was not a victim, at least not in my first year. I felt sorry for those who were bullied. One such kid who lived a mile further down from us got bullied so much that he ended up cycling to school.
