The Dragon Beside Me
In the tapestry of life, there are figures that stand out like radiant stars against a velvety sky. Among these luminous souls, there exists one who has etched her indelible mark upon my heart—a woman of extraordinary strength, resilience, and grace.

6 Things About Writing I Wish I Could Go Back In Time And Tell Myself
We all wish for a time machine for one reason or another. Sometimes it's to go back and play the numbers for a big lottery jackpot. To see a loved one more time, or to go and tell our past selves not to go on that date because we're going to get our hearts broken.

I know I'm a day late, and I posted two stories before this one today, but let me explain: I got called into work last night, and also, I am weirdly particular about the layout of my profile. I like it to go in a certain order when possible (unless there's a series involved.)

One Of Those Days
Introduction Many days I will wake up and have many subjects to write about. I try not to repeat myself and I also am wary of publishing poems one after another. When we work at our day jobs we have no choice but to go to work, deliver what needs delivering and put in the hours.

The Brilliant Mind of a Vocal Creator
I became a content creator on Vocal in March 2018 and celebrated five years of being on this amazing platform. Since joining Vocal, I've had one story featured as a Top Story (August 2023) and a plethora of tips, which I appreciate very much. 2018 wasn't a great year for me personally, as I was homeless, jobless, and going through other personal issues. During those dark times, I was at my local library and all of a sudden, I ran into a site, which would later be Vocal. When I was in grade school, I loved writing my thoughts in notebooks. As I've stated in previous stories, my household and part of my childhood was hostile, abusive, and toxic. Decades later, writing gave me an opportunity to let my imagination fly, but at the same time, sharing my thoughts with everyone online. There is no age limit on being creative. During those aforementioned darker times, writing gave me an outlet to formulate on topics that matter to me and inform others on. Every year on October 20 is the National Day on Writing, celebrating writing in all forms. According to numerous online sources, there are positive benefits of jotting down your reflections on either pen and paper or digitally. These pick-me-ups such as helping you become more creative, improving as a writer, learning more about yourself, reducing stress, and building up your confidence.
