The Secret Language of Beauty
Beauty is not just about the face you see in the mirror. It comes from your habits, your thoughts and the way you treat yourself every day. Some people look naturally fresh, confident and attractive, even without makeup. Others struggle with dull skin, tired eyes or low self-esteem, even when they try hard. Why does this difference exist? The answer hides in simple choices that shape your inner and outer beauty.

Bloody Mary for Your Soul (with the possibility of a prize if you play along). Content Warning.
We're all trying to rise up out of the mire of those old, stagnant regretful feelings that are so universal that it's hard to find precise words that feel fresh and forcing them into that insanely tight structure (I bend rules as much as I can and adhered to the rhyme scheme but threw caution to the wind and indulged in some free metre, iambs and trochees dancing into their new freedom). It's no wonder that so many literally do not survive the winter holidays.

Train Trestle
I remember that night so well, arriving at my parents’ house with my British friends and Christina after driving through twilit South Carolina from the mountain. We were on our way to walk the river when we ran into you, like a magician conjured you out of river mist and moonlight.
