The Burden of Pride
In the small town of Willow Creek, there lived a woman named Linda, who was known for her beauty and pride. Coming from a wealthy family, she was raised in a lavish estate, adorned with every luxury imaginable. As a child, she was treated as royalty, never facing the struggles that many others in her community endured daily. This upbringing shaped her into a woman who often looked down on those less fortunate, her arrogance manifesting in cruel jests and dismissive glances.

One-sided Love
The rain fell softly that night, a whisper against the windows, as I sat alone in my darkened room. The shadows stretched long across the floor, and I could feel the weight of memories pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.

Love is Gone
The moment I opened my eyes again, I knew something was different. The weight that had crushed my chest for so long, the pain that had followed me to my grave, was gone. The memory of it still burned—his rejection, his betrayal, my own desperate obsession—but the ache felt distant, like a storm that had passed, leaving only the aftermath behind.

Love is in the Air
It started on a Thursday morning, just as the sun was rising, casting a golden glow across the street. I remember standing outside the little café on Fifth, my hand on the door, when I saw him. He wasn’t supposed to be remarkable. Just another face in the city’s endless crowd. But when his eyes met mine—sharp, stormy, a shade of gray that seemed to hold the secrets of a thousand untold stories—I felt my breath catch.

A Message to Clayton Kershaw
Many of my readers know that I love baseball, especially the Texas Rangers. In case you didn't know that, you do now. Spring Training is right around the corner and the MLB regular season is in our sights. However, in this story, I want to send a strong message to a player who needs a lesson in both humanity and compassion. The player I'm talking about is Clayton Kershaw. To all of you non-baseball fans who aren't familiar with who he is, he's a World Series champion and Cy Young Award winner. Back in 2023, he made disparaging and bigoted remarks regarding the Dodgers were having a promotion inviting The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence to Dodger Stadium during Pride Month. Because of this, I can no longer look at Clayton Kershaw the same way again. It's time that I read this man for the filth, because I have a lot of things to say to him. I could call him every name in the book, but it would make the points that I'm about to share absolutely meaningless. I'm not going to apologize for standing up for what I believe in or being honest. If I see someone being disrespectful towards a certain group of people, I'm not afraid to call them out on it. If I'm wrong for speaking up, then so be it. I'm not afraid to expose people for who they are.

Stealth Mode Deactivated. Top Story - January 2025.
I had a joke I was telling for a minute after the election. It's a joke that helped me cover the sense of impending doom being thrust upon us all by the media or well-meaning friends and family. A bit of humor to dissolve the fear and to animate hope.
