family

Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.

The Lantern on Maple Street
Maple Street had always been quiet, but not peaceful. Houses stood shoulder to shoulder, but the walls between neighbors felt thicker than bricks. Rumors, misunderstandings, and long-standing grudges had built invisible barriers over the years. Mailboxes were barely checked, children played mostly indoors, and families avoided eye contact whenever they passed each other. Even the streetlights seemed to flicker uneasily, casting shadows that mirrored the tension in the air.

The Music of Silence
In a narrow, crowded street of a bustling city, tension was as common as dust in the air. Families argued, neighbors shouted over minor disturbances, and children rarely played outside. Windows rattled with complaints, and even the birds seemed wary of the loud, restless environment.

Whispers of the River
The town was divided by a wide, winding river. On the north side were narrow streets, crowded markets, and houses that leaned on each other for support. On the south side, wider roads, flowered balconies, and quiet courtyards stretched along the water. Though the river divided the town physically, it also carried decades of silent rivalry. Rumors, minor disputes, and prejudices had built walls between the two communities.

The One Who Felt Like Home
Some loves don’t end. They sink into your bones, settle into your breath, and live quietly inside you long after the world thinks you should have moved on. You can try to be practical, try to distract yourself, try to fill your days, but the heart has its own memory, its own gravity, its own truth.

Giving Thanks in 2025. Top Story - November 2025.
My Thanksgiving began at 3:44 AM. Not because there were things to prepare for dinner, etc. but because one of my dogs needed desperately to go outside. I got out of our cozy, warm bed, slipped my jeans and shoes on and out we went into the 28-degree morning.

The Mirror That Knows My Red Secrets
Mirrors‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‍‍‌ have always scared me, not the thing made of glass, but the thing that comes out from me if I stay too long. The world has a version of me that it thinks is polished, that it thinks is steady, and that it thinks is convincingly fine, but the mirror…the mirror sees the red that is simmering beneath my skin.

The Garden of Quiet Hearts
In the middle of a bustling city, where streets were clogged with cars, and the air buzzed with the constant noise of life, there was a small, forgotten garden. Hidden behind a weathered blue wall and an iron gate covered in ivy, the garden seemed almost magical. Few people knew it existed.

The House of Forgotten Letters
Every street had a house people whispered about. On Maple Lane, that house belonged to an elderly man named Mr. Shakir, a quiet fellow who lived alone in a fading blue house with peeling paint and a porch that creaked like tired bones.

Trust, Betrayed
Infidelity is a painful reality that many couples face in modern marriage. Adultery is not a new topic; it has shadowed the institution of marriage since its very beginning. Monogamy is a creation of human culture, designed to maintain social stability, but it can never completely suppress primal human drives.
