Old is Gold: The Lantern That Lit More Than Just Rooms
In the dusty corner of an old wooden shelf sat a brass lantern—its glass smudged with age, its metal dulled by time. To most, it was just a relic, a forgotten object from the past. But to me, it was a treasure chest that didn’t need to be opened to spill stories; it only needed to be lit.

About Me Someone Destroyed Me Somehow — But Saved My Sanity
Let me start this off by saying: I love my love. I love my golden retriever, Milo, more than I ever thought possible. He’s sweet, funny, smart (when he wants to be) and unquestionably loyal. But if you’ve ever lived with a high-energy dog — especially a young one — you’ll know what I mean when he can bring chaos into the house like a hurricane.
