marriage
Marriage is not so much a word as it is a sentence–a life sentence.
Endgame: The Strangest Feeling..
Marriage is a three-ring circus....engagement ring, wedding ring and suffering. Sorry, joke! But if current divorce statistics are anything to go by, it is perhaps based on fact. Nearly 45 per cent of all marriages in the UK now end in divorce, with far fewer people marrying. That is almost one in every two unions.

Plastic Bowls and Other Proclivities
I’m learning how to slow down. We may as well add that to the list of things I am learning about myself. Coincidentally, learning how to slow down, and actually putting it into practice, is how I am also learning new things about myself. Some of these things you would think I would know by now, given that I am 43 years old. (This may turn into a series, TBD.) But, it is strange how little we know about ourselves, quite honestly. Part of being human is learning how to interact with other humans, and for most of us, that is how a good chunk of our waking life is spent: learning how to interact with other humans. We learn social norms, verbal and non-verbal cues that tell us how to act; we learn what we should say and do around other people, and we learn how to have a conversation and how to connect with others, even if it is just at the cash register of your corner coffee shop. What this means, however, is that we spend most of our lives, honestly, learning about how to exist, learning about other people, learning new skills, etc., but really zero time learning about ourselves. Which is why, at 42 years old, I learned that I don’t like using ceramic bowls and plates.

Fractured Melody
In the quiet town of Crestwood, where whispers echoed through the cobblestone streets, lived a couple enveloped in a tumultuous dance of love and pain. Elara, a delicate soul with a heart that craved affection, found herself entangled with a man named Adrian. His tall, imposing figure and sharp words cut deeper than any blade, leaving wounds that time struggled to heal.

Can True Love Last Forever?
We are all searching for that Utopia where true love lasts as long as possible and we are happy ever after. Yes, true love can last an awfully long time, but it is unlikely to do so for two key reasons: our own emotional evolution and a lack of reciprocity.
