Word of the Day: 無意味
As I am writing this, I am thinking and trying to transmute what is going on with my life. Missing passwords, constant hacking attempts by family and strangers also trying to find their way into my story, but I still have the pen, I chose that when I decided that I wasn't going to die that day.

Madam Koi Koi of Akanu Ibiam Girl's House. Content Warning.
Madam Koi Koi of Akanu Ibiam Girls' House From the moment I arrived at Akanu Ibiam Girls' House at the age of eleven, I felt an eerie sense of foreboding. The grand gates of the prestigious boarding school closed behind me, sealing my fate. That night, as I lay on the stiff mattress in the dimly lit dormitory, sleep came reluctantly, bringing with it the first of many unsettling dreams.

Word of the Day: 罠
I know that he doesn't want to be with me. I asked him if he was in the town I was just in, on his motorcycle, on the side of the road. A part of me wanted to jump out of the car I was in and run to him. That was how sure I was; it was just a glimpse, just in the eyes. Imagine me just rolling down the highway towards him. Later on I asked him if he was in the area that day and he confirmed it. He isn't even lying about following me.

Surviving Loss: Finding Hope After Tragedy
Thanksgiving morning in 2019 dawned with an unexpected, piercing sorrow. I lost a friend to suicide. The night before, our texts had bounced back and forth. He had things on his mind, but it wasn’t a heavy dialogue. I reassured him that life’s burdens would ease, and we made plans to talk on Sunday, hoping to laugh and lighten the mood. It’s a bitter reality to accept that he made other plans.

Ways to Regain Authority in Your Life
We should discuss dopamine. Individuals call it the synthetic of need and want, yet why would that be? Indeed, this is the secret. From a developmental outlook, your mind rewards you for anything that will improve your probability of endurance by delivering a synapse called "dopamine" in your mind.

Monday Night Raw
The last twenty-four to forty-eight hours have been tumultuous at best, but first some background to set the stage.... I recently accepted a fabulous job that requires a cross country relocation and I couldn't be more excited. Cross country relocation comes with all kinds of challenges: emotional, financial, mental, and sometimes even physical. The journey to date has been rife with all of those challenges in varying degrees, but not to the extent that it has over the last couple of days.

Distance
We were close until that fateful day came, and our dark lives tore us away. We lived through untold traumas, and shared the pain and the love in a friendship that was rare; but here we are now, thirty years later and all you can do is talk to me, like I'm a stranger.

Solstice of Renewal
In the quaint town of Solara, nestled between rolling hills and a shimmering lake, the anticipation of the summer solstice was palpable. The townspeople had been preparing for weeks, dusting off old scrolls and relics, and reawakening the tales of their ancestors. This year, they were to revive an ancient solstice ritual that had been dormant for centuries.
