One Hard Thing
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: You have the number, you know your schedule- you’ve even picked out the perfect day and time to make this appointment. Shoot, you’ve even picked out alternative days and times just in case their schedules can’t accommodate you!

The Writer Who Never Gave Up
Emma had always loved writing. From the moment she learned to form letters, she filled notebooks with stories, poems, and ideas. But as she grew older, she discovered that passion alone was not enough. Teachers criticized her grammar, friends dismissed her dreams, and every rejection letter from publishers chipped away at her confidence. By the time she was in her twenties, Emma had written dozens of short stories and two full manuscripts, only to hear the same message over and over: “It’s not ready yet.” Many people would have given up, but Emma refused. She couldn’t stop writing.

Our Song
Evening has given way to night. Gently, I settle next to you on the comfortable, old love seat and reach for your hand. You snatch it away, again. It cuts me to the quick, but I hide the pain, understanding that the reaction is but part of your demented state. Since the accident, your presence here in our cozy home has been clouded by a haze I can't see. Nevertheless, I feel the frigidity of your expressions and it serves as an excruciating reminder of the immeasurable distance between us.

The Angry Man in Your House
"If you grow up with an angry man in your house, there will always be an angry man in your house" This statement has caused plenty of controversy online, people say its a statement that blames victims while also undermining those who break traumatic cycles to form health relationships... but if I'm honest now that I'm in my 30s it makes more sense to me than ever, and I'd argue that its not just about fathers and uncles.
