Keeping the Ticket. Top Story - September 2024.
With the ticket in my hand, it felt like a diamond album. He had given it to me. Just right there with his medium brown hand into mine. I knew this was his only ticket and that he wouldn’t be able to go to Firefly. Just to grasp the ticket made me remember him forever. This was 2013. The festival would rise and swell with the rhythms and vibrations of the various bands and performers.

Keep My Treasure Safe
Meeting my best friend was like two souls recognizing each other from a past life. The moment we met, you never would have known that we didn't grow up together. It was an instant connection of loud laughter and conversations that lasted well into the night. Looking at us, we were polar opposites; her dressed in black at all times, myself dressed head to toe in pink, the angriest highlighter you'd ever met. We met on a cold winter night in December, and by January, I was living in her apartment, partying and using together, working illicit jobs to pay the bills and keep ourselves high.

Simple Ways to Stop Overthinking and Find Peace. AI-Generated.
Introduction: Understanding Overthinking Everyone encounters overthinking sometimes or later in his or her lifetime. It may occur at first as a general idea that snowballs into developing a number of hypothetical scenarios. This behaviour may bring about a lot of stress in the body system and therefore raise anxiety levels. When working on a problem of overthinking, it is crucial to find out what it actually is and why it occurs.

Kindness of a Stranger
Is it hubris to enter the challenge I inspired? Oh well... There’s a lady on the train platform. She’s tall, with hair a shade of red not found in nature. Briefly, I wonder if it’s a wig, early onset of grey, or just for fun. She’s dressed in black, the kind of long business skirt that you don’t see much these days, and a polo shirt with a name and logo from a company I’ve never heard of. That's not unusual, though; Parramatta is the 'Western CBD', which means both that it's a crowded nightmare to navigate during peak periods, and there are a lot of businesses you've never heard of (as well as a dozen you probably have) within walking distance of the station.

Having opinions and preferences.
To have an opinion or a preference is human nature. We may act indifferent in front of others but if we were to be given a choice, we’d certainly prefer one thing over the other. There’s nothing wrong with either of these situations. The problem arises when we try to shame others for having a different opinion as compared to us or for not matching our standards set by our preferences. So how can we be a unique human being who’s also inoffensive at the same time?

Start Again
Every day is a challenge for me. Six months ago I lost my job due to downsizing to improve profits for the company. There were no redundancy payments for me or the others, we were sacked for "not doing our jobs" but they wouldn't tell us what we hadn't done.

If They Wanted to... They Would.
I've had several people send me reels and articles surrounding this subject and I have been battling feelings of both pleasure and displeasure - feelings of adequacy and inadequacy. I wanted to talk about my own personal thoughts and feelings as a person who was in a committed relationship and also as someone who is single as well as answering from my friendship's perspective. And... not just about the men, but also about my job as a person: "if she wanted to, she would" has come across my radar as well.

A Bowl of Soup a Day. Runner-up in Small Kindness Challenge.
There was no way that I would have seen a future for myself without my wife. She was the peace that gave me hope; she made our house a home. When we learned of her diagnosis, I didn't ever think that it would end with her buried in the plots we had bought together, a mountain of debt, and a home on the concrete as I moved about the city on crutches. I had spent my life working as hard as I could to give my wife the life that she deserved, and now, it takes me half an hour to shuffle down a single block. There is no home without her.
