Masked Duality: The Joy and Sorrow Within
Within the depths of my being, a ceaseless conflict brews. A clash of opulent dreams against the starkness of reality. Vivid memories of opulence weave themselves into the fabric of my consciousness, each reminiscence etched deeply within.

Anxiety Sucks
Everyday I wake up never knowing what the day is going to look like. Is today going to be a good and productive day, or will today be another day fighting my thoughts and irrational fears? Most days I am okay, as I have been better at managing things. Others are so bad just doing one small thing takes the most out of me. Ever since the pandemic I've gotten really bad agoraphobia and only leave the house when I have to, or feel like I can. The amount of self talk that I have to do sometimes is crazy to me, but I keep trying anyway.

How I Meet Your Mum
An African tale that tells us in dept of how couples meet in the early 90’s in Africa. In a secluded area deep in the forest bellow the great oak trees and no shrubs due to little sun light that hits the surface, around here its called a forest a home for wild animals. Though during the day the forest is calm due to fact that most of the wild animals live in the deep dark parts of the forest. There might be little or no game during the day and the catch depends on stealth and precision still so the animals are very wise and can sense the human from a mile away and make a run for it so as not to become the prey.

I Must Be Merry
I’ll be honest, I’ve not been merry or happy during these holidays. I haven’t been happy for a long time. Ever since this past summer. These holidays I really had to push myself to act happy. Anytime I was out and about I smiled and pretended as best as I could. Now, being at home for my holiday break I find myself numb to everything and everyone. It’s such a strange feeling because I feel at peace being numb. Feeling nothing feels good to me. Deep down I know that this isn’t right. I know that I am allowing my depression to take me again, I don’t want that. I know that the reason I want to feel numb is because I’m too afraid of feeling sadness or happiness. This neutral place feels good and safe, but in reality is neither of those things. The New Year is coming up and I’m starting to feel myself drawn to a new year’s resolution. It is only one resolution but one that if I’m able to achieve will affect many aspects of my life. My resolution for this coming year is to be happy, truly happy.

Intercession . Content Warning.
When I was younger, and even now, from time to time, I get frustrated with God. I question God in my heart. “Why do you put such heavy burdens in my heart for people? I see their suffering a mile away.” Walking miles in the shoes of other people leaves me feeling so worn down and exhausted. The sadness, the pain, the need for healing, and the desire to see people free from addiction… It all adds up and it feels overwhelming to my heart. Empathy is a gift and huge responsibility from what I am learning. Empathy is used by God to bring people to action. I’m called to act and follow the compassion or burdens that are God-given. It’s beautiful and exciting. Sometimes it feels very urgent, in how I should respond quickly to the brokenness of others before me. Here are some questions I ask myself: Is time running out for people? Is time running out for me to respond? What limits do I have? How can I rely on your power more, God?

Friendship Breakups
Friendship breakups, do you think they are easier or harder to deal with than romantic breakups? I feel like this topic is rarely discussed, and since I just recently went through one of a friend of 25 years I wanted to weigh in on the topic. In our society we put so much emphasis on how hard romantic relationships are to maintain, and how hard they are to get over. In my opinion friendships are just the same if not harder to maintain and get over.

The Ideal Christmas Gifts I would l Would Love To Have. What's Yours?
Christmas morning is almost up on us again and there are lots of presents that will be opening, especially by children, because the season has now moved well away from it's intended purpose - to celebrate Christ's birth - to focusing on commercial concerns, like acquiring material possessions.
