Secrets
An Evening In Paris
One of the highlights of my MBA in LBS was the MBAT trip. I should probably explain what the TLA - three-lettered acronym mean: MBA - Masters in Business Administration, LBS - London Business School and MBAT - Masters in Business Administration Tournament. MBAT is a fancy excuse to get drunk disguised as a sports tournament between MBA schools.

Wasted Shenanigans of Christmas 2019
It was my second Christmas away from home. I had moved away a year prior, which was only supposed to be six months. But life happened and I had met someone. Let's refer to him as Mikey*. Funny how things happen. The job I moved for, were very happy with how things panned out. Then.

Rough day
I wouldn't say I grew up in the worst of homes. However it was by far not the best place to be, between having two parents in an unhappy marriage, to a difficult split, and then both of them hating whoever the other was seeing; made for uncomfortable home life.

Why finding success at work shouldn’t be joyless
My biggest failure was working for many years almost completely without joy. I was working for success, for money, for accolades, I was even working for a mission—but I had created this bifurcation in my mind where work was work and maybe after all the work was done, I could go and be happy somewhere. But of course, that wasn’t reality.

Heart Attack Holiday
It should have been a day we would remember fondly for the rest of our lives. Our first Christmas together as a couple. Surrounded by my family at the lakeside vacation home of my new in-laws, I had never been so excited for a holiday get-together. Nervous as I may have been, my affairs had never been in better order.

Weirdest Bible Stories The Church Tried to Hide From You
Exploding penises of holy prophets, a girl cut in two to settle an argument; boys boiled alive and eaten by their very own mothers; in the darkest of valleys a zombie army springs into action. The Bible can be a dark and frightening place, so get ready to have the fear of God put into you. 10. Let’s start with good old cannibalism, a rather taboo practice that is nonetheless as old as time. There are lots of mentions of cannibalism in the bible, although we doubt you ever read about them in Sunday school. We also imagine many of you haven’t heard of a guy named Micah. The Old Testament describes him living in a place called Moresheth in ancient Israel. As prophets tend to be, he was often very indignant when it came to the wicked ways of the rich and powerful. In terms of uttering stern words, Micah was a heavyweight champ. When denouncing the corrupt and greedy, he talks about cannibalism. He says of the greedy rulers, “Tear the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones.” They “eat my people’s flesh, strip off their skin and break their bones in pieces.” They “chop them up like meat for the pan, like flesh for the pot.” As with many parts of the bible, you don’t have to take this literally. Micah might just have been using metaphors to say how terrible the leaders were, but did he have to go into so much detail? Then you have this from Jeremiah 19:9: “I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh because their enemies will press the siege so hard against them to destroy them.” That sounds pretty literal to us, but of course, it might also have been symbolic. That brings us to the boiled kids, because what good story doesn’t have boiled kids in it?

The girl with the question mark on her wrist
2008-2009 The divorce was final. Not sure if the paperwork had gone through yet but my dad was definitely remarried and I’m now living with him, his wife and her two kids all under one roof. My baby sister was born and now I had this new family. As a 19 year old teenager I didn’t really grasp it all. This is sort of a trend with me that I’m noticing. I don’t feel things.

How I Run Into an Angel While Traveling?
One Christmas Eve, Williams Peterson stated, "I have a story. Around the dining table were my brothers, cousins, aunts, and uncles. That was not unexpected. Every time my family got together, once the meal was over and the dishes were done, we went back to the table to tell stories to one another.

Twenty-Something
Here's the thing about me: I'm a mom, but I'm also 25. Moreover, I'm a 25-year-old mom in 2022. I'm physically attractive, with a thick accent and a people-pleasing mentality caused by years of mental and physical abuse. This matters because without meaning to, I construct a perfect companion for whoever it is I'm talking to. I nod my head, I grin just wide enough, I take my glasses off at just the right time to reveal the eyeliner I've carefully used to round out my almond shaped eyes in just the right places. Conventionally, I'm attractive. In the ways that count. In the ways that get me laid.
