I've learned that true silence is not simply the absence of sound but a profound state of being that transcends external noise.

Diary of An Auto-Immune Survivalist - The Hemorrhage
Blood poured from my vaginal canal and into the toilet. Clots of blood slipped out of me like a chain of fat beads that plopped into the water below. Reaching my hand beneath my seated tush, I caught one of the warm bloody clumps and brought it into view. It looked like a thick slice of beef liver, larger than the palm of my hand. The frail red mass separated into pieces as it dropped back into the toilet’s bowl. Hurriedly, I pulled a hand towel from its hook and put it up, in-between my legs. Shoving the towel into my vaginal opening, I applied as much pressure as I could as a desperate measure to slow the blood flow. My panic grew. I squeezed my thighs together to hold the towel in place.

Why Am I Not Successful?
Growing up, I was always told that hard work was the key to success. My parents and teachers constantly emphasized the importance of studying hard, working hard, and giving my best effort in everything I did. The message was clear: if I worked hard enough, success would naturally follow. However, as I navigated through various stages of my life, I started to realize that this wasn't always the case.
