Finding My Way When the Map Was Torn
On Christmas of 2010, at the age of 25, I faced a moment that profoundly shaped my understanding of identity. It was a cold afternoon, the kind where festive cheer warms hearts, but mine was about to feel an icy sting. My mother, who had invited me over, was too intoxicated to open the door. Instead, it was my little brother, his eyes wide and innocent, who let me in. That moment hit me hard. It was like looking back at my own childhood, where my mom's battle with the bottle and screaming fights with her boyfriend were more the norm than Christmas presents and family dinners.

Mapping My Tomorrow: Crafting a Life Vision Beyond Goals
Creating goals can ignite a sense of hope and renewal, especially during New Year’s, which happens to be one of my favorite times for this very reason. However, despite my love for goal-setting, I’ve often found my objectives to be somewhat scattered, lacking a unifying focus. To remedy this, I’m taking a step that I believe could benefit anyone: crafting a vision for my ideal life. This vision is divided into categories that are profoundly meaningful to me: Physical Health, Mental Health, Relationships, and Business.

Aphrodite’s Whisper
Before the dawn of humanity, before the first heartbeat echoed through the void, the gods existed in a realm of ethereal possibilities, a dreamscape nestled between thought and reality. Their world was a whisper away from ours, separated by the thinnest veil of imagination. Among these timeless beings, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was a standout figure, known for her breathtaking beauty and enchanting charm.

Morpheus' Gift: The Birth of Dreams
Once upon a time, in the primordial era when the gods were just beginning to understand their places in the mortal realm, Morpheus, the god of dreams, found himself facing a problem. This minor deity, a master of illusions, had a grand capability that could craft visions more beautiful and terrifying than anything that existed in reality. But Morpheus was stifled by his limitation: his captivating creations were solely for his eyes. What use were such grand illusions if there were no spectators to appreciate them?

The Quiet House at the End of the Road
The road was lined with a riot of foliage, trees and shrubs bathing in the late afternoon sunlight, bleeding shades of red and gold. Our house sat at the end of that road, the sun setting over its crown like a tired king, a metaphor that Jack and I often joked about after a few glasses of wine.

How to Write Horror for Children
Reading was not something that came easily to me in elementary school. I was way behind the rest of the class and dreaded it when the teacher would call on me to read out loud. Becoming a good reader seemed like something that was such hard work and way over my head. I avoided reading unless I was forced to.
