I love writing articles & fictional stories. They give me scope to express myself and free my mind. After working as a mental health nurse for 30 years, writing allows an effective emotional release, one which I hope you will join me on.

Tearful Memories From Our Past
Jenny opened the old photo album and felt a pang in her chest. There they were, smiling and laughing, unaware of the future. She traced their faces with her fingers, wishing she could go back to those days. She remembered the sound of his voice, the warmth of his hug, the sparkle in his eyes. She missed him so much. How could he leave her so suddenly? How could he break his promise to grow old with her? She closed the album and wiped away a tear. Memories were all she had left, and they hurt like hell.

Looks Like A Good One, Well Done Vocal, You Have Proven To Have Listened
What is there left to say but thank you. What am I talking about? I've been a paying member here on Vocal since 2020, although to begin with, I was not much of an engaging person. Perhaps it was because I had just suffered from the negative effects of Covid-19, and having realized that the combination of suffering from Traumatic Brain Injury (when I was much younger in life) and that the two events, had left me with permanent physical disabilities.
