The Day I Almost Gave Up on Life
Iever thought I'd see myself at the edge — not the metaphorical one, but a very real edge of a rooftop, staring into the emptiness below. It was a cold evening in January, the sky was a dull gray, and the city lights blinked like indifferent eyes in the distance. Everything felt quiet, almost too quiet. That silence screamed louder than any noise I'd ever heard.

Are There Other Realities?
There are many different realities, but we are too blind to see that. There is not just one way; there have always been an infinite amount of alternate realities to every reality there is out there. If I think on it that way, then I wonder what is real? Is it real because we see it? I don't think so. I don't think we have to see it to believe that it's real. I think it exists, whether or not we see it or believe it. Those realities are right there, happening at the same time that our reality is happening, and so on and so on.

The Falling Grace
In the beginning, when the Earth was still shaping itself, rivers wandered across the land like silver threads. They flowed from mountaintops, twisted through valleys, and carved deep paths through rocks. Among these rivers, in certain places, something extraordinary began to happen—something that would become one of nature’s most powerful and beautiful wonders: the waterfall.

The Giants of the Earth
Long before cities, farms, and people, the Earth was shaping itself through fire, water, and time. Mountains were rising, rivers were carving valleys, and deep within the heart of the world, a new kind of landform was slowly being created—plateaus, the flat-topped giants of the Earth.
