Loneliness Transformed into Melodic Harmony
Loneliness, often considered a melancholic abyss that engulfs one's soul, has the potential to be transformed into a melodic harmony that resonates with the deepest chords of the human experience. While it is natural to associate loneliness with isolation and sorrow, the power of introspection, creativity, and human connection can turn this seemingly negative emotion into a beautiful symphony of self-discovery and connection with others.

Baby's Night Out. Top Story - September 2023. Content Warning.
**This story contains a mention of pregnancy and childbirth.** I just dropped my kid off at something called ‘Parent’s Night Out,' hosted by our Karate dojo. My husband is with his friends at their annual all day game we affectionately refer to as ‘all gay dame.’ So I have the night to myself. It occurred to me that I could use a clever title for my little solo excursion. My buddy Malinda offered ‘baby’s night out’ and I think that fits. It implies wandering in a childlike state of exploration for the simple pleasures in life. A rare treat for a mama with a nine to five and a husband who works most nights and weekends.

Releasing the Secret Enthusiasm: Investigating the Erotic Side of Composing . Content Warning.
Presentation Composing is many times seen as a consistent and organized pursuit, however underneath the surface lies a rich and sexy world ready to be investigated. Figuring out the exotic part of reviewing opens new roads for imagination and articulation. Embracing enthusiasm recorded as a hard copy delivers crude feelings and makes a more profound association between the essayist and the peruser.

Jumbled Thoughts
I stare at the screen wondering what to write. A lot I have written has been raw and painful, but real. I never really have an initial direction for my pieces. All of this is just to find some sort of silence within me. The chaos I am surrounded by has been all-consuming and endless. Even in the nights that are supposed to be quiet, I greet the horrible thoughts like an old friend.

Then and Now
The first ever piece that I published here on Vocal is “What a Glass of Merlot Can Hold: Seeing Past the Now.” As I am writing this, I see the irony in that subtitle; perhaps deep down I knew I would be referencing it someday in the future. Reading that piece two years after writing it, I still think it’s a solid short story. However, I also noticed quite a few things I would like to edit and improve upon. I didn’t remember every detail that I chose to include so, in a way, it was like reading something new to me, yet so familiar.

Finding My Voice
"A Night Under the Stars: The start of something beautiful" was my first piece published on Vocal. When I decided to take a risk and enter a story in the Date Night challenge a couple years ago, I began the journey to discovering who I am as a writer and what I can create when given a prompt. At that point, this process was entirely new to me. I have always been a writer, but this was different. At that point, I was just developing a style of my own.

It started in Junior High
TW: Depression, death, fire. I remember it started when I was in Junior High; let's say around 13 years old. I was going through The Change. My feelings were bigger, my thoughts were deeper (or so I thought), and my perception of the world was, well, bleak. These were the precursor days of the teenage goth phase, and 14 years later I still say it is NOT a phase!
