Things I learnt from my recent setbacks
Things I learnt from my recent setbacks How I wish life were filled with glory and love, tales of how we succeed in every aspect of our life, emerging victorious in battles filled with animosity and sadness. Every mortal being experiences seasons of rise and fall, of light and dark, of pain and purpose, and defeat and victory.

Two Faces, One Truth
I keep in mind my childhood in bits and pieces, like surrounded pictures of particular occasions that exist autonomously of all the other recollections. There was the time I challenged my brother to a foot race down the steps of the rough slope on the side of my grandfather’s house. My mother cautioned us to never run down the slope for fear that we harm ourselves. But that did not obstruct us at all. We held up for her to go to work and continued with our plans. What else was there to do in the hot summer sun but run, stow away, play, and take in all of the day’s light. There was too the time I climbed the mango tree in my grandfather’s patio and got stuck. So I snacked on mangoes and trusted the house young lady would discover me some time recently my granddad came domestic. The Haitian sun was continuously more endurable in the shade of a tree and a cool breeze, and this tree was my favorite. It had the juiciest mangoes, branches that expanded each which way, and was so full it shaded nearly the whole patio.

The Surprising Reasons We Become What We Hate
For so many years, I kept telling myself, that I didn’t want to become like my biological mother. I had a list of things I didn’t want to do, behaviours I didn’t want to emulate, and values I wouldn’t accept. Despite my determination, I found myself falling into patterns that contradicted my own values. It felt strange, even disheartening, but I eventually realised that this phenomenon is not unique to me. It is a psychological reality of how the mind functions, and understanding it can lead to profound self-awareness.

Sunday Morning at Church
My cat told me not to go to Church this morning. I almost obeyed her. I was wondering if I could go to the bar on a Saturday night and then go to Church on a Sunday morning without feeling like a confounded hypocrite. I defied my cat's advice and drove to church thinking about the song "Boondocks" by Little Big Town. "You get a line, I'll get a pole. We'll go fishing in the crawfish hole. Five-card poker on Saturday night. Church on Sunday morning." I'm glad I defied my cat and went to church. It's decorated so Christmas style and it lifts my spirits even if I'm a "black sheep" or even if I'm not an essential member of the church.

"I don't know" - Is that so hard to say?. Top Story - December 2024.
Conversations. Why do we engage in them? I talk to myself a lot. Sometimes I talk to my cat or my dolls or the walls. I'm alone a lot. Why do I feel the need to vocalize? Why do I have to write this if I just spent a few hours conversing with the walls? Why am I so "gabby"?

Life: Forget the Past, Focus on the Future
Life: Forget the Past, Focus on the Future Life is a constant journey, much like a river that flows unceasingly. It never stops, never looks back, and always moves forward. However, as human beings, we often find ourselves caught in the web of past memories—whether they are moments of joy or sorrow. These memories, while meaningful, can weigh heavily on our minds and hearts. They shape our emotions, our actions, and even our outlook on life. But to live a fulfilling and meaningful life, it is essential to realise that the true beauty of life lies in letting go of the past and focusing on the future.

Dreams with Open Eyes: The Journey to a Beautiful Life
Dreams with Open Eyes: The Journey to a Beautiful Life Dreams are an integral part of human life. They fuel our ambitions, guide our actions, and give us a purpose to strive for. Everyone dreams of achieving greatness, bringing honour to their family, and reaching new heights in life. But dreaming alone is not enough to fulfil these aspirations. It takes hard work, dedication, and the right direction to turn dreams into reality. We often dream while we sleep. These dreams provide temporary comfort but seldom lead to tangible outcomes. In contrast, dreams seen with open eyes have the power to transform lives. These dreams inspire action, encourage perseverance, and drive us toward success. The Foundation of Dreams: Determination and Hard Work Dreams seen with open eyes are not mere fantasies; they are blueprints for the future. Realising them requires relentless effort, a clear vision, and the ability to overcome challenges. Success does not come easily—it demands sacrifice, resilience, and unwavering commitment. History is filled with examples of individuals who turned their open-eyed dreams into reality. Consider the bravery of Rani Lakshmibai, who dreamed of freedom for her kingdom and fought valiantly for it. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar envisioned a society based on equality and justice, dedicating his life to achieving this vision. Similarly, Subhas Chandra Bose dreamt of an independent India and tirelessly worked toward it. These leaders remind us that dreams, when pursued with determination, can lead to remarkable achievements. Open-Eyed Dreams: A Transformational Journey Dreams seen with open eyes are life-changing. They provide direction and meaning to our lives. However, the path to fulfilling them is seldom smooth. It is filled with obstacles, failures, and moments of self-doubt. But those who persevere, who refuse to give up in the face of adversity, are the ones who ultimately succeed. For example, Mahatma Gandhi’s dream of India’s independence was not realised overnight. His journey was fraught with challenges, opposition, and setbacks. Yet, his unshakeable belief in non-violence and his commitment to his vision led him to achieve what once seemed impossible. The Fruits of Hard Work and Dedication The success born of hard work and perseverance is lasting and deeply fulfilling. It provides not only material gains but also a profound sense of accomplishment. The joy of realising a dream is indescribable and serves as a testament to one’s efforts and dedication. Dreams that Beautify Life Open-eyed dreams not only transform our own lives but also impact the lives of those around us. Our success becomes a source of inspiration for others, showing them what is possible with determination and effort. For instance, when a young girl from a small village becomes a doctor through sheer hard work, her story inspires countless others to pursue their dreams, regardless of the odds. Let’s Dream with Open Eyes Starting today, let’s resolve to dream with open eyes. Let’s set meaningful goals, work relentlessly toward them, and embrace every challenge as a stepping stone to success. As we achieve our dreams, let’s also contribute to making the world a better place. When we uplift others along our journey, we give our achievements true value. Open-eyed dreams are the first step toward realising our fullest potential. They guide us, challenge us, and ultimately, reward us with a life of purpose and beauty. So, let’s dream big, act boldly, and transform our lives into something extraordinary! After all, the journey to a beautiful life begins with dreams seen with open eyes.

Dear Disrespectful Racist. Content Warning.
Dear Narcissistic POS, It all started when you came out of training at a job. I had offered a hand to help set up your desk, so you didn’t have to get onto the floor. I did it for all the older people who were in your training class. I’m not sure how we became friends by only having small talk back and forth when I was helping around the call center when there weren't enough supervisors.
