A Butterfly Formed in the Desert
I patched up the holes on my body like the holes in the walls; a little concealer for spackle, a little sparkle in my eyeshadow since my eyes had none. But there was nothing that could patch up the shattered pieces of my heart. Those broken shards stabbed at my mind and my body creating an echo of pain that ricocheted within the chasm that had become me. That void made from loneliness and hopelessness mixed with fear and loathing - loathing of him, of my life, what it had become, and loathing of myself. If that chasm had a smell it would be that of a body in decay. I was decayed.

The A Team
The first thing she noticed was the cold. Not the crisp chill of a winter morning, nor the fleeting bite of an autumn breeze. This cold was deeper, more insidious. It seeped into her skin, wrapped around her bones, settled into the marrow itself. It was the kind of cold that did not simply exist outside of her but had burrowed its way inside, making a home in her flesh. It was the kind of cold that carried the weight of emptiness.

The Monsters We Can't Escape
Fear is a peculiar thing—it thrives in the shadows, growing stronger in solitude. When left alone with our thoughts, we begin to see things that may or may not exist. The image of a young girl curled up in the corner of a deteriorating room, surrounded by ominous figures, is a chilling representation of this concept. It is a scene that speaks to the very nature of fear, the kind that tightens around us when we feel most vulnerable.

The Things You Say When You Don't Know What To Say
Before I begin, I want to preface this by saying, I’m not some journalist who’s done a bunch of research on this topic. I’m not someone who knows a few people who’ve been through similar things, yada yada. I’m someone who’s lived through this. I’ve heard these things firsthand and know how awful words can be.

Suicide Prevention Workshop
We hope to have a small booklet full of prevention material. It is about prevention after all. I have attended many workshops in my lifetime and have not read much after the workshops that were given as handouts. Now I have to go through many of those handouts and recycle them.

Two Lies and a Truth
I once invited a new friend over to play board games with a small group of friends over the upcoming weekend. He was reaching out regularly to hang out and I figured it would be a good way to get to know him better and introduce him to others so that they could get to know him as well. He accepted the invite and I gave him the details for what, when, and where.

Chapter XVII: The Sovereign of Shadows
The wind shrieked, calling me through the hollow arches of my empire, and shared the whispers of those from which I had long departed. They did not capitulate, they did not bend the knee—those stubborn flames in their unyielding commitment who were steadfast in grisly devotion to my cause even while I drifted into infinite nothingness. I stand now before the stripped down bones of my empire, their magnificence reduced to chambers of resonating echo and thrones of dust. *Why have I returned?* The question coils in my heart like the serpent of eternal regret. Perhaps it is the burden of promises I once scarred into the flesh of memory now bleeding through the cracks of time. Or perhaps it is the truth that solitude, even from this frayed kingdom, is a reprieve from the honeyed mumble of humankind. Humanity—how shameless a pantomime! They murmur constantly of virtues they loathe, and in the very next breath, dive into the sins of their own disdain. Their laugh, a knife—that roasts, and their kindness, a mask stuck to rotten flesh. I have tasted their "compassion," a goblet of vinegar, and spit it back into oblivion. They are the architects of their own suffering, bringing offerings of opinions about the innocence of gutting like lambs to a slaughterhouse. Weakness masquerades as strength in their world—a monstrous breeding from the bones of gentle chitterers.

Mind Viruses
1. Why Ideas Spread Like Viruses Have you ever wondered why some ideas refuse to die, even when proven false? Why do myths, conspiracies, and irrational beliefs spread so quickly and survive for generations? The answer lies in memetics, the study of how ideas evolve and spread like viruses.
