School
The Last Letter
James Carter had never been particularly close to his grandfather, Richard Carter. The old man was quiet, reserved, and kept most of his past to himself. James had spent summers at his grandparents’ countryside home, but even during those visits, Richard never spoke much about his life before marriage.

FEAR IN THINKING IS THIS ABILITY OR ILLNESS
In a bustling yet lonely city for a man named Benjamin, his life is filled with uniqueness that is difficult to explain to others. Since childhood, he has realized that his mind does not work like most people. His memory and understanding of the world are so sharp, as if his brain is an infinite storage, recording every event in detail that is impossible to forget. He can remember meetings 10 or even 30 years ago, complete with seconds, hours, and words spoken, as if it all happened yesterday.

An ode to being lost in life
Because when you just dream about it in your heart, work hard for it and believe in the universe to perform its magic, it conspires in the best-designated ways to make your dreams come true. I have always believed in the higher power, something beyond the fathomable vision of the human eye that beholds us, ties us to our purpose and protects us in times of uncertainty and dejection. It is comforting to know that some mighty and divine force beckons us in moments of need and sometimes all we need to do is let go and have faith. Life in its truest mirth often transcends through the truces of rationalisation and delusion, through the light of knowing exactly what to do and under the traces of pretence which hides the scariest part, not having a single clue as to where your life is going.

Love Appears 2
The Unbearable Pain I can’t forgive myself for what I did to Lilian. I’m so sorry. You were so brave. I don’t deserve Catherine, because what I did to you deserves blame and consequences. Maybe I need to be rejected once to get even with myself and the world.

Breaking Down the Question: "Are You One of Those Feminist Types?" and My Truthful Answer
I experienced being watched long before I understood what feminism meant. I came to see that there was a persistent, ravenous gaze on all women. It establishes the boundaries between right and wrong, specifies the moral patterns a girl must exhibit, and reaffirms our core beliefs. Such surveillance has the peculiar quality of quickly turning inward, turning you into a voyeur of yourself. I spent almost my entire adolescence performing what I thought was most attractive.

Confessions of a People-Pleaser: How Embracing 'No' Changed My Life
About 80% of people-pleasers feel disconnected from their true feelings. This statistic really hits home for me as I think about my own journey. I always wanted to please everyone, even if it meant ignoring my own needs.

The Traveler's Prayer
Two weeks before Christmas, Mr. John's house was a flurry of activity, and the kids were running around excitedly, not knowing what kind of evil awaited them. This was not the first time they had visited the village, but every year they would return home for Christmas, and it was the only time they saw their family. The kids loved it because there were lots of trees, cousins to play with, and fresh air, but they had no idea that this year would be different and painful. While Mrs John was busy preparing meals and packing clothes for the trip, she usually made sure everything was ready days in advance. However, she was constantly concerned about one thing, which Mr John never prayed for: John, please allow us to pray for After just two minutes, Mr John waved his hand as if he were chasing a fly, telling her to quit bothering me while she folded her things into a bag.

AS TOLD BY: A Boy Mom No Longer
It all came to a head on Christmas day 2022. I'm a mother of three; two outstanding, smart, and creative girls. And my son, the youngest fun, charming, energetic and friendly. It's always an event on Christmas, me and my husband have the biggest house in our family (ranch), so we have both sides of our families come over, lots of exhaustion, planning and cooking but it's always a hoot. This year was special because my evil mother-in-law decided to come over after and she could be extremely judgey and I WAS a people pleaser.
