The boundless love a parent has for their child is matched only by their capacity to embarrass them.
Clever Costumes
As kids, we always were excited for Halloween. In the Midwest, the weather was usually chilly, rainy, and windy that day, but it never stopped us, nor would our parents think to keep us in. We weren't driven to wealthy neighborhoods. Frankly, we were not driven anywhere, no matter the weather (that is a whole separate story). If we wanted to go, we toughed out in all weather conditions. We ran up the streets if it was raining; our umbrellas turned inside out from the wind some years, but nothing stopped us from getting our treats.

Cycles of Inheritance
I found myself lying in a nearly pitch-dark room, surrounded by shadows of conversations I wasn’t part of, conversations that seemed to move around me in a cycle I could neither claim nor escape. It was as if I had been placed in the middle of a story already in progress, a narrative as old as time and as familiar as the air I breathe. In that dim light, I overheard two women speaking—a woman, perhaps an employer, congratulated another woman, acknowledging her rise within the workplace. I murmured just enough to prove my relevance, hoping to claim my own place in the world they had carved out. Yet, I felt like an outsider, as if there was a barrier between me and that congratulatory moment, one that was both impenetrable and rooted in history, shaped by generations of the same cycle.
