The Love and the Difficulty of Loving
After all these years, I recently discovered that my mother is a toxic person. Not because she wants to be, but because life made her that way. And when I stop to analyze, I understand that she can’t change that now. It’s too late!

one too many. Content Warning.
I wrote this in 2021 for an Ela assignment Being the black sheep of the herd can be empowering. It can make you feel different from the rest, like you have a destiny placed by God waiting for you in the footprints of life. But sometimes, that small shed of light can become nothing more than the moon's aura, nothing more than the reflection of a candle. And you slowly feel yourself become an outcast of society, the laughing stock of the herd.You feel as if you can’t dance like the others, you can’t frolic in the meadows or feel the euphoria of love. As that slowly slips away, you feel life itself become dragged into nothingness, yet the only escape from that ever cycling reality leads you to the slaughterhouse of the farm. The long lost legacy God left you, was to die a death of meaning, to sing your beautiful song as you're stripped of what makes you your own self being. It takes away the humanity of the ones who care for you, and it shows their true intentions.They saw you as nothing but dead meat all along.

A Glimpse into My Latest Reflections
Life has a way of prompting us to reflect at unexpected moments, and recently, I found myself in such a state of contemplation. It wasn't a grand event or a life-altering revelation, but a series of small, interconnected experiences that led me to pause and look inward.

CONFESSION
In my room alone, I was looking at the ceiling, and my mind was wandering back to the memories of my past. The truth was at last to be faced, the false confession of myself to myself to be revealed, to see the great bond between my heart and soul.

My recent reflection. Top Story - August 2024.
Life has its ways of teaching you important lessons. Everything that happens in our existence strides its convoluted intersectionality with a purpose, a purpose that in its divinity has an impactful metamorphosis in our reality. How little do we know about what is about to come when we so confoundingly announce that I know this is how my life would turn out to be. In its own magnanimous and unexpected ways, you would get to what you deserve rather than what you want in most anomalies that our choices create. Whether we get what we want or face a delay or rejection, every event is a rendered outcome of the myriad of choices we chose and how divine intervention in its beauty shielded us from the things that could have destroyed us.

Counting Stars: The Little Rabbit
The little rabbit was a severe insomniac. Lately, she often found herself unable to sleep at night, becoming wide awake at midnight and sometimes unable to sleep the entire night. This made the little rabbit drowsy and lethargic during the day. One day, the little bear invited the little rabbit to watch a movie, but the little rabbit dozed off during the exciting comedy. After the movie, the little bear asked, "Little rabbit, have you not been resting well lately? Your eyes are surrounded by dark circles, and you even fell asleep during the movie."

Taming our Ego
Ego refers to a person’s sense of self-importance and self-esteem, what you think of your own self. Everybody has an ego and that plays directly into their character, actions, communication and their overall decision-making skills. This is one element of our lives which has far-reaching consequences which shape every single part of our entire being, thus the importance for us to understand what it is and how it works.
