War Is Not the Solution to Every Problem
History is filled with stories of kingdoms rising and falling, of nations clashing over borders, power, and pride. And yet, despite centuries of bloodshed, one truth remains unchanged: war has never been the ultimate solution to humanity’s problems. It has redrawn maps, shifted power, and rewritten history books, but it has never healed hearts or built lasting peace.

I Want
Hey Universe, How ya doing? I'm sure things are cosmic, that is to say... beyond me. And I know I'm just a little handful of dust, in the grand scheme of things-- I'm only one among billions of conscious humans, and we're each only here for a flash.... So, I mean, I get it.

Sixteen Years of Blood and Silence. Content Warning.
Trigger Warning: graphic descriptions of menstrual and medical experiences. I still remember the Virginia Beach trip. It was supposed to be a working vacation; a month at the beach, relaxation with friends, and building a podcast network from the ground up. Instead, I got to add days trapped inside, shuffling from the bed to the bathroom every fifteen minutes. At one point I stood in the shower for an hour, just watching as red fluid and tissue slid down my legs, only slightly slower than the water running over my body. I wondered if this was what Carrie felt like in the Stephen King novel. I wondered if I would die.
