Dear everyone who asks,. Top Story - June 2022.
DEAR EVERYONE WHO ASKS, I AM STILL NOT OKAY. I am not well, thanks. I am not feeling chatty to humor you guys either. I would love to answer your question truthfully, but then I would have to worry about your feelings. I would have to make apologies that I do not really mean. And I will not be able to hide my facial expressions either. Because the truth about me always seems to hurt everyone who is not good at empathy. What even is empathy these days, huh?

Scottish Trips and Family Connections
It had been two years overdue, but finally we were doing it. We were driving up to Scotland to meet the “new” family. I had been just a year before the pandemic, and we had intended to go up as a family the following year but…well…

Why the word "normal" should be banned
Everyone uses the term "normal," to describe something in their life or just simply their life as a whole. It can be used to judge people, admire people, noun, or adjective. Which usage is best the usage you may ask? None.

The high school paper that changed my life in 2010.
My classmates have taken a great tragedy and have turned it into a modern day conception of a Zombie Outbreak. Saturday, April 26, 1986 there was a protocol breach at the nuclear power plant of Chernobyl Ukraine. Resulting in radiation poisoning, sickness, and death. Many species had lost their lives. Leaving mutated creatures and human beings. None of which were zombies whom “wanted to consume flesh.” But since the topic of a historical event has turned into Zombie mutation, allow me to share my own theories about life and what I believe a real “zombie is”.

“A Chat with Zoey”
It had been a bad day. Maybe it was because I got yelled at by customers earlier that day, or because I ran out of medicine three days before. Or maybe it was because I was low on funds and could only afford to eat hot dogs minus the bun, or because I was extremely lonely (and had been for several years). I like to think it was all of the above, but the customers were the icing on the cake.

Mintaka or Bed?
So this is a story about being asleep at the wheel: as in my whole community is asleep at the wheel. The whole world is for that matter. Do not know if it was the Hadron collider that did us in, or it really was the Mayan prediction, or a prophecy from some other epoch in time.

Dealing With Existential Crisis
I don’t know the way I’m feeling for some days even can be described as this term ‘Existential Crisis’ but what I know, to some extent, is that I can reveal some part of it and hope that sharing it would give me a better perspective towards my current situation and provide an insight understanding my life better.

Emotional Dichotomy
What it is to feel so separated? Seeing the new from an old perspective. Not so left out but slowly growing insane. Someone new in the times so separated. Experiences rise and surround the town, When one chapter closes, another one opens. From you or them, you see and hear what you wish. You dream of the experiences to come. Everything is new and no time to stop. You slow down to catch your breath but find your fuse is out. You see new experiences and moments in front of you, thinking if you are going too slow or just jealous of a different side of you.

honorless freedom
i grew up with predators. amongst them. it sounds like maybe i grew up in the jungle doesn't it? do you hope that is where this story is going? i wish. but then i don't, because if it wasn't for the stories i've been honored to listen to and live, i wouldn't be the woman i am. i wouldn't be able to question things and have helped fight to save some of the ones i've gotten to meet long the way.
