A Final Farewell
The air inside the shop didn’t smell of dust; it smelled of stolen time. It was a narrow space, wedged between a florist and a clockmaker, with no sign above the door. On the glass, etched in a gold script so faint it seemed to vanish in the sunlight, were the words: The Archive of the Almost. I stepped inside, and the frantic noise of the city died instantly. Here, the silence had a weight to it—the kind of silence you find in a room where someone has just finished a prayer.

Music as a Mirror
Music, a word we all relate to, have a relationship with and, somewhat, define in our own, unique and special way. It is vocal, instrumental, a combination that is produced to evoke the beauty of a form of harmony and emotion that comes from within us. It is plentiful, yet, specific to each of us and at the same time, a connecting force that gives us the opportunity to know, understand and feel for one another in a way we otherwise would not. It is complex with depths that build labyrinths in our worlds and simple enough to be deciphered scientifically. It is a true element of how society operates, with a complex science of humans with mathematics to back it up.

The goals I did not achieve. Top Story - December 2025.
Every writing goal I made for the year is a wash. It has been this way for a while, but I think it's important to be open about my failures and the reality of how life can get in the way. This is especially true considering the several times I have posted on Vocal about my writing goals, how I was changing my approach, and where I was hoping to be for the upcoming year. I will probably do that again in a couple months, but for now, it is time to acknowledge where I am today.

The Words We Choose to Leave Lit
There are certain words we return to over and over again, even when we do not realize it. They show up in notebooks, saved notes on phones, margins of books, or half remembered lines we repeat during difficult moments. These words are not slogans. They are reminders shaped by experience. Over time, some people choose to give those words a physical presence in their space, letting them exist outside the mind.
