Holiday Blues: How to Tackle it Wisely
Sure, festive seasons can be fun and exciting. But for some people holidays can trigger an unexplained wave of sadness (Ugh yes! I’m one of them). We often hear of people uninstalling social media apps on their phones during the holidays. So, at least we know it ain’t uncommon. Some of us not only passionately stay away from our phones but also lock ourselves in our rooms, lest we get annoyed and sad seeing the happy pictures and lives of other people(Yes! I’m cringing here). Christmas is just a few months away and I figure the time’s just right for me to scourge through the case of holiday blues and how to tackle them wisely. Read along folks!

A Short Break From Myself: What Last NYE Taught Me
There are times in our lives when we feel irrevocably tired of ourselves, and I think I have an explanation for this. Between all the toings and froings in life and the roles we play for our different cliques, there is too little time left to ponder which part of you is real. Admit it, none of us know who we are entirely. So, last year I made a decision that gave me a break from spiralling down through my tumultuous self. It was New Year’s Eve 2022 and I had just moved into Sydney. My work schedule was beyond me and I couldn’t help myself but take a break from the toxic environment that was nothing but harmful to my mental health. I decided to get away from the usual faces, which included my family, my friends and my colleagues. I booked a ticket aboard one of the Sydney NYE cruises, which are a famous vantage point to see the fireworks from a different perspective. It was remarkable indeed. With amazing food, a lot of booze, spectacular views, and not to mention, new faces, I knew I was at the right place at the moment. I met some wonderful people on board, all strangers. And here’s what I understood: that I didn’t have to assume a particular role or pressurise myself to be something I’m not when I’m around strangers. Rather I could be anyone I want to be or explore parts of myself with no strings attached to the reputed parts of my character. I guess I should add Sydney New Year’s Eve cruises to my favourites. They make me think.

What You Should and Shouldn’t Do While Visiting Sydney
Travel has been my life mentor for well over the past seven or eight years. Through exploring unknown lands, meeting new people, experiencing new things and facing an avalanche of challenges. I’m fortunate to see the world through a new set of eyes every now and then. Sydney is one of my favourite destinations on the planet, an incredibly friendly and laid-back city, with residents who admire their harbour and are happy to share it with people from all parts of the world. But this wasn’t the case every time I visited. There are a couple of things you should still avoid to ensure you have a safe staycation, be on the good side of the locals and most importantly, don’t get ripped off.

Big Red
Big Red Creative Non-fiction about 2,200 words by Jordan J Hall The Beginning Big Red was estimated at 350 pounds when we got her. She sauntered her maroon body down the trailer’s ramp, wagging her hocks all the way. A white stripe around her front shoulders accentuated their bulk as she casually sniffed out her new surroundings. Big Red was a sow to be reckoned with, I’d seen her at the county fair earlier that summer and was certain she was the pig I needed. We bought her off Dan Thompson, who knew a thing or two about pigs. Dan had been dealing with animals for years, helped his kids raise grand champion beef a time or two and worked a day job doing butchery at the IGA. The man knew meat and what makes it good. Dan said Big Red was about as sturdy as they come. He was not wrong.
