Navigating the Journey, from Fear, to Liberation; Overcoming Social Anxiety and Welcoming a Fresh Start
Social anxiety, also referred to as phobia is a mental health issue characterized by a strong fear of social situations. Individuals dealing with anxiety often feel extremely self conscious and fearful of being judged or rejected in settings. This can result in avoiding interactions, which can greatly affect ones well being. Social anxiety may manifest through symptoms, like sweating, trembling, fast heartbeat and difficulty speaking in scenarios. It may also lead to self perceptions and beliefs that contribute to the cycle of anxiety.

Comic Connection
The once vibrant Comic Connection sat cloaked in an eerie silence. Gone were the joyful guffaws and the excited chatter of comic book enthusiasts.

We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet. Let’s be true to ourselves, this is the stance of millions worldwide. We all have made our New Year resolutions and have faltered in our discourse of being consistent and true about it.

The Spell. AI-Generated.
In a hidden valley nestled deep within the rugged mountains, cloaked by swirling mists and ancient trees, stood the Convent of the Silver Moon. Here, secluded from the eyes of the world, a coven of powerful witches gathered under the luminous glow of the full moon. Their leader, Elder Mirabelle, presided over the gathering, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall over her midnight-blue robes.

Our Spontaneous Cheese Poetry on Date Night
“Poets have been mysteriously silent on the subject of cheese.” ― G.K. Chesterton, Alarms and Discursions I watched the moon shine brightly this evening through the window of our car. It was day one of two days of travel and the shortest day of the year. ( I wrote this in December 2023). That meant we were traveling mostly at night. The main thing was that we arrived at our first destination and managed to go to sleep, all five of us.

Cuddle Comfort
Cuddle Comfort, What’s That? So, what do I mean by “cuddle comfort” exactly? If you take it literally, then it can seem like it is a bit obvious. However, it’s not always a physical act or state of being. Cuddle comfort is just an act, touch, or anything really that gives you that sense of comfort or security in the moment. These moments usually even bring some form of clarity as well. That’s the simplified explanation of what cuddle comfort is; or at least in regards to how I refer to it and what I refer to it as.

Should You Apologize if You Were Wronged First?
A few years back, I read the book Hiroshima by John Hersey. It recounted with devastating detail the effect of the nuclear bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima at the end of the Second World War. The annihilation of Hiroshima is a tragedy of unbelievable proportions. 78,000 people were killed instantly; many tens of thousands died later from the after effects. Moreover, this was a city — a civilian target — and the bomb decimated men, women, and children indiscriminately. Many of the people involved in creating and deploying the atomic bomb have voiced their compunctions about doing so. Yet, in the many decades that have passed, every American president has refused to apologize for the act. The U.S. has officially apologized for a number of things over the years, including the overthrow of the kingdom of Hawaii, slavery and Jim Crow, the Tuskegee experiment, and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Why not, then, apologize for dropping the atomic bomb?
