She is standing in the shadows of the world not knowing which way to
turn.
In the darkness is her life where she has always been kept...her heart
and soul is chained to the trees rooted in not being seen.
She tries to move closer to the edge of the darkness...but is always
told to stay stay where you are.
She whispers why do I need to stay here?
Why can't I be seen?
I want to be seen...I need the light to warm my heart...I need touch to
feel alive..you gave me these things then hid me away.
The shadows said...you were born in the darkness and in the darkness
you will stay...the darkness is your best quality.
You're soft
You're beautiful
You're brilliant
You're exceptional
You're more powerful than anyone could imagine but you must have
someone to match your vibe and soul.
There is only one who can bring you out of the darkness and until he
shines bright in the darkness you shall stay and live broken forever
until his light swallows you whole.

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.

Time to change your life.
Is it even possible for you to change your life? A lot of people, more than there should be, are unhappy with their lives. But what are they doing about it? Usually nothing. People talk about how shitty their lives are and want change, but are they not taking the actions to change?
