Friendship

A Rainy Day
It was a gray and rainy day in the city, with the sound of water tapping against the windows. The atmosphere was filled with a mix of melancholy and warmth, perfect for staying indoors. Sofia, wrapped in a soft sweater, settled onto her couch with a book. However, her mind wandered, thinking about Lucas, her neighbor next door.

Trust: The Foundation of Life
Trust: The Foundation of Life Trust is the essence of life. Without it, relationships, society, and even one's identity lose their significance. Trust is the foundation upon which we build our connections with people, circumstances, and even fate. Where trust exists, relationships grow stronger, dreams find the courage to take flight, and struggles gain a direction toward resolution.

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 Dangers of Choosing a Happy Ending. Content Warning.
The rain persisted almost like a fever and the windows of the small coffee shop in Manhattan were rattling shaken by its fury. Quite the opposite was true within. Elliot Parker, a dark and brooding man around whose head was quite probably a permanent biological weapon, bustled up to the counter, sidestepping tables and chairs like a hurricane.

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.

When the Night Falls
When the Night Falls When the night falls, the world grows quiet, but the heart grows louder. The absence of sunlight strips away distractions, leaving nothing but the raw essence of who we are. Perhaps that’s why the night feels heavier than the day; it’s not the darkness we fear but the truths we can no longer ignore.

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.

When the Call Comes
The call came late—one of those heart-dropping vibrations that jolts you out of the kind of deep sleep that only exhaustion can produce. On the other end of the line was my friend, their voice trembling through the phone like a child confessing they’d broken something expensive. Arrested. Could I help?

Through the walls
It started with a whisper I was in my mother’s bedroom, her scent still lingering in the air, a mix of lavender and something uniquely her. She’d been gone for weeks, and yet, in that moment, it felt like she was standing right behind me.
