humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Exploring The Abyss...
A strange truth about this beautifully-tragic world.. People will say they miss you when you’re only a phone call / text away. They’ll say they miss you as if you don’t live ten minutes away. They’ll invite you to an event yet haven’t spoke with you for weeks on end. And they’ll like your posts and “support” you from a distance yet don’t have the time to simply ask “how are you feeling today?”

Omar's Diary to 7th February 2020
During the last week of January my post prandial period of relaxation was interrupted in a most abrupt and disturbing fashion. Just as I was going into my light sleep there was a knock at the front door. I was unceremoniously bundled upstairs into a room that I had to share with Lady Servant and Mitzi. While there I heard the front door open, footsteps back and forth, some thudding sounds that came through the walls and “Left a bit, back…….to you….yeah, that’s it mate”.

This is who
I am… I am sitting here right now watching Storm Ciara do her thing. I am relieved to not be out running the Worthing Half Marathon today. I am a runner. I am not fast, and I am not capable of running massive distances. I am 45 years old and I am experiencing injuries as a consequence of my running. Still, I am a runner.

But Still
My brain tells me to stop spending money on the psychics app. My toxic need for reassurance shouts over it, and says fuck it. $29.90 later I feel slightly better. Still no answer from him. I’m sure he’s busy. My brain says check the snap score; it’s the same. But what about WhatsApp? Last active after I texted him. He saw it. I know he did. He’s busy. He’s ignoring me. Stop jumping to conclusions. He wouldn’t lay with you, and kiss you goodbye when you leave, and tell you to have a good day if he didn’t want to... right? He’s just playing the part because it’s easier than seeing you cry. You never take no for an answer. He’s stubborn but you’re more so. And you just won’t leave. He saved a picture of us from last weekend. He wouldn’t have done that if he didn’t want to look at it. Why would he want to look at it if he didn’t love you? Why would he say “love you too,” on your way out the door if he didn’t mean it? He wouldn’t. But still... he loves the dog more. She’s teachable. Doesn’t believe she knows everything and listens to him, that’s why. He hasn’t had a dog in years. She always happy to see him. He makes her happy, he doesn’t love her more. Why won’t he call me sweetheart, sweetie, babygirl, like he used to? Maybe it just slipped his mind. He’s been busy before and still managed to do it. He’s just waiting for you to get your car fixed, so everything can calm down for you; then he’ll tell you he doesn’t feel the same anymore. He does love you. If he didn’t you would be out no matter what. But still... you do laundry, you cook when you can, take care of all of the things he can’t, you go to work, you clean, you make sure everything is good for everyone else. Or at least try to. You do grocery shopping. You hold him down. He would be crazy not to love someone like you. He even said it himself. But still... this is a you problem. This is a problem you need to fix. He’s whitholding affection for a reason. He asked if you wanted soup yesterday because you’re both sick. He wouldn’t have asked if he didn’t care. But still... you need to relax... but still. He loves you. But still...

Millennial's Revive Love & Hardships
Millennial's Revive Love & Hardships Millennial have faced such a hard generation of upbringing. Not only were we born into the booming technology but, our interaction with humans has pitted in a black hole of understanding humanity. We specialize in distraction and selfish desires that only are available through a button of a screen. We don't take time to appreciate real life of nature, family and friends and what loved ones really mean to us. We take charge of being to busy for that type of interaction, we rather have a computers take on our business and jobs of hard work. We turned to the machine of a robot to dictate our lives into making them better without minimum effort. The video games, social media (Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat) were so focused on what the world thinks of our skills, personalities that it takes a toll on us. The competition of whose the best human. Turning against each other instead of coming together like a unit and making rational decisions. Making way for the new world to bring better things is just creating the future of disaster and self-pity of ourselves that were learning to not love ourselves anymore. Therefore nobody else for that matter. Slowly craving in and being sucked slowly threw a black hole of which we call society. In new ways of living and the normal way of doing things. Taking the time out to spend time and be present with other people such as yourself and interact is what were here to do. Instead of destroy what makes our nation strong we will weaken and so the end of time will we near. There is so much hatred in the world today toward each other it's scary to know your life may be taken by another with no reason at all. Just to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Don't get me wrong were all going to die some day but letting the negativity that we brought onto ourselves for the exchange of manipulating computers and robots is all too foolish for a nation like this. Considering everyone is falling for the actual distractions of what phones, computers, tablets and video games may offer today..they make sure there is always a new updates somewhere to draw your interest even further away from your peers.

Minx harbors a deadly secret as she is dangerously drawn into Silas' world. Little do they know that the puppet master behind the screen has already raised the curtain.

Transformation is an Ugly Process
“Because I am married and been married since we have known each other!” and just like that, the room fell silent but I smirked and leaned in and said “and it all makes sense now”. I have questions and not the typical scenario questions, I don’t want to know who she is, what she does, or anything else that has to do with her. I don’t want to know why he didn’t tell me when we met, when we became friends, before we had sex, the next time we had sex, our first argument, our last argument, when family members passed, numerous text messages? Why was it not the topic of discussion during the up-tempt times we said we would go our separate ways? None of it made sense or makes sense and it is simply not ever going to either. I have no reason to feel sad or bad about the situation. I can walk with my head held high because I did not break up a happy home or enter into this situation knowing the truth. I am not the deceiver however I do not feel better nor good about any of it.

Knowing When To Let It Go
Easier sang than done, learning to “let it go” is something that many people never completely figure out. The burden of holding on is almost as painful as the emotions that undoubtedly come with the release; and even if you end up liberated, the freedom is bittersweet. The truth is this: the more you invest of yourself into something that doesn’t serve you, whether that is a friendship, a partnership, relationship, or occupation, the more you weigh yourself down. You worry about the impact letting go will have on your life and theirs, along with the influence the decision will have on everyone and everything around you.

I'm nowhere to be a part of
For as long as I can remember, I never found myself belonging to a specific group or community. I might be young, however, my life from my youngest age to before I made the choice to live in the UK is completely different to how I feel now. Belonging can be perceived as a philosophical subject that many people aren’t consciously aware of – though, it is more impactful than what most people may think.
