Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
The Power of Rock Bottom . Runner-Up in The Metamorphosis of the Mind Challenge. Content Warning.
For the fifth time that night, nausea washed over me, as my gut began to heave and contract. Pulling myself up to kneel, I pulled the glass bowl closer to my face, as the razor-sharp convulsions brought up more bile. The yellow liquid stung my mouth.

Random Acts Of Flowers
Today started off as any normal chemo day, however honestly I thought I’d be turned away since I was sick last week. Alas, my labs were super this week, so chemo proceeded as normal. On the infusion floor, there are always two elderly volunteers who are amazing. They go around each section of the infusion floor asking chemo patients if they want anything from snacks, beverages and even warn heated blankets. Around eleven they bring by a small light lunch, half sandwich, chips, a drink and a snack for later. However something different happened today, today I received flowers from them with a person from the company called Random Acts of Flowers.

Trust Your Mind
When I saw the Vocal challenge for The Metamorphosis of the Mind, I had to dive into the fun and write this piece in the hopes it inspires even one person who is currently in mind warfare, debating should they switch careers or have they wasted their life on a career that is not giving them their purpose and fullfilment.

When the Future Felt Too Heavy—I Returned to the Present Moment. AI-Generated.
There was a time when the future felt like a weight I couldn’t carry. It stretched out endlessly, uncertain and dark, like walking through fog with no flashlight. Every “what if” became a fear. Every plan became a pressure. Every dream turned into a deadline.

The Day I Realized I Was Enough—And Everything Changed. AI-Generated.
It didn’t happen on a mountaintop. It wasn’t during a big speech or a breakthrough therapy session. The day I realized I was enough happened in the middle of a Tuesday. In sweatpants. On my unmade bed. Surrounded by clutter, unpaid bills, and a sense of deep inner fatigue.

How I Found Beauty in the Mundane When Life Felt Empty. AI-Generated.
There was a season in my life when everything felt hollow. Nothing was wrong, exactly. There was no heartbreak, no loss, no major upheaval. But still—my days felt gray. Repetitive. Emotionally flat. It was like I was living in the pause between sentences, in the blank space of my own story.

Things I Wish I Told My Parents—But Couldn’t at the Time. AI-Generated.
There are things I never said growing up—not because I didn’t want to, but because I didn’t know how. Because I was afraid. Because the words felt too big, or I felt too small. Because our hearts beat with love, but not always with understanding.
