THE CONFERENCE. Content Warning.
THE CONFERENCE The meeting was held at the San Sebastian National Trust Public and Private Meeting Facility Room. The sign above the door stated this and I was still a bit fuzzy in trying to put all of those words in context. The afternoon turtle hangover-remedy stuffing my insides created a lethargy that put the fluorescent lighting of the hallways into a venue that could not be on some Caribbean island but maybe somewhere in the Midwest. The night’s blackness outside the tinted windows isolated my thinking even more in mixing up my geographical fix. I had to take a few deep breaths and look around at the solemn line of people passing through the thick oak doors, which silently swung open and shut. I entered to find a small group of aromas and bouquets surrounded by neon lights and stark white, sterile walls. There was a three inch band of trim around the three sides of the room I could see. Empty folding chairs stood at attention behind a large square of adjoining straight tables. There was nothing in the centre, but a podium was set upon a table at what was to be the speakers’ platform. Behind this were several photos of a beautiful schooner. I went to the photos.

Letters to Nowhere
The first letter appeared on a rainy Tuesday, slipped between the pages of an old poetry book. Evelyn nearly missed it, the yellowed envelope blending in with the brittle pages. She turned it over, fingers brushing against the faint scrawl of her name written in black ink. There was no stamp, no address. Just her name and nothing else.

LOVE
Self-Love Perhaps one of the most important yet often neglected forms of love is self-love. Loving oneself means embracing both strengths and flaws, setting boundaries, and prioritizing well-being.

Not at all roll about . Content Warning.
Not at all roll about In Amoa's pitch-black streets, you can only hear whispers. Never turn your back on the main street church, it is said. Especially if you’re alone. As you wander the asphalt that has been coated with a thin layer of late fall snow, the only company you will find is their cold, breathy warnings. My hair is ruffled by wind. As if telling me to stay away, the strong gusts push me into the street and I stumble. Pulling my beanie lower over my reddening ears, I right myself. Nothing is going to stop me. Neither the wind nor the whispers. Certainly not rationality. I have to know what’s in the church, why no one will pray in it but no one dares to tear it down.
