Man, I love you. Runner-Up in Love Unraveled Challenge.
Nearly eight years ago, my Dad took his own life. A few months later, one of my closest friends, aged only 34, died suddenly. After an innocuous bike ride, he went for a lie-down and never woke up. An unknown heart condition stole a friend who was the light of every room he walked into.

Kindness
The impact of kindness extends far beyond the moment in which it is given. Research has shown that acts of kindness not only benefit the recipient, but also the giver, by releasing feel-good hormones like oxytocin and serotonin that promote feelings of happiness and well-being. In essence, kindness is a form of social currency that enriches both the giver and the receiver, creating a cycle of positivity that can have far-reaching effects. By cultivating a culture of kindness in our interactions with others, we can contribute to a more compassionate and harmonious world where empathy and understanding reign supreme.

The Alchemy of Love
Spoiler Alert: The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho is discussed, including the ending. The quest for love consumed me for most of my life, which was a dark and twisting labyrinthine affair filled with frustrating dead ends, prison cells of my own creation, and more monsters, both within and without, than I care to count. There was a gnawing, aching, ravenous void inside me, a black hole of self-loathing and depression, and my warped mind believed for decades that love was the only thing that could fill it up. It turns out I was right, but not in the way that I thought.

I Thought I Knew
I thought I knew what love was, when I saw you walk in for the first time. When my instincts told me I wanted you, when I felt you brush against me only in passing. But you weren't mine, so as coworkers I gave you everything I had, all I had to give.

How I Overcame My Depression with Cooking and Prayer
I was trapped in a vicious cycle of depression, a silent enemy that robbed me of joy and hope. Every day was a struggle, and every night was a nightmare. I felt worthless, hopeless, and helpless. I tried to hide my pain behind a mask of smiles, but inside, I was falling apart.

A Rose 🌹 is a Rose 🥀 is a Rose 💐
I say with quite an unswerving conviction that whatever form of posterity love ❤️ takes through me , it surely draws upon a wide variety . It’s range extends into similes, metaphors and as well into parodies, with underpinnings that make me tantalizingly closer to love more than any. It whispers sweet nothings as in verses carelessly spreading in sprees. Intently so, its Provence alongside its piercings, underlie in the following:Disclosure—Dear reader, this then, above all the deep down revelations, dares in exacting ( rather perfecting it, here and now,) the didactical tonal cleaves of love; vaunting nor wailing to the end of this excessive. To that, bear me in peace!And as is, it equals to—me celebrating you in me, as originally as can be. Indubitably so, for my sort of poetic utterances, perhaps landing more fairly, (now more than ever, ) over your eyes, to envision —WHITE brighter than bright , as in peace 🕊️. Though it may not be precisely clear but here comes a verse field of emotion depicting love as I view it …Love can be crafty, Love can be sweet, So is ,Such is , Said of it ! And as is, What is, Sung of it Blessed ‘re verses which sail on it For Love—so requited, thrills on it…Lingering bold, as a warmth in folds,Showing it’s worth in the winnings of it, And by all it’s means, and all by itself —-Oft bestowing a solace astride,For every need longing on it Over fostered fires, evoking extinct desiresAs well —to see, what comes of it With spirited fervors, inlaid —lovelier, as spring —forever, basks on it Yet, we make it sure, to be so assured,and still wonder—-What c’d be truly made of it ?!In hiding more, but feeling more than hunger pure, than must we speak —bold—of it For o’er the glints , it glitters in gold,As sun-dews subtly whisper on it And to think of an hour,in that crush of a minute,who will be it … harboring—still on it ?!For many a shades, in colors so made As guilds of golds grace on it This is how amazing, love can feel Witnessing it’s woes;so mended , so blended, With smoothness so stitched—As accents to linger deep on itNot seeing how, but in the graces so pureit sews — as a suture,with all it’s cures,fixing hurt that’s likely to come by—While despair decides to pass on it And as is , was as, is the case of itNeither was it mum nor can it be meek Forth in wanting,it’s always so sleek Sometimes bending, all on it’s knees, and other times falling and howling —head over heelsOh! But all’s so sweet , it’s just so complete So be it ! So be it! As we think of it, Becoz, It does it’s all, in tricks so called;Befallen for the most part, is the beauty of it !

Ten Things About Me
Ten Facts About Me As much as I enjoy creating my content from my imagination, sometimes it is nice to take a brief break and do one of these viral prompts. I don’t consider myself to be a very interesting person, so we will see how this goes. We all have our own unique stories to tell and we each do it in our own ways.

Love
When I was younger all the books, movies and songs had taught me that love is no matter what happens. That no matter how hurt, sad and betrayed you are, you stick next to that person, supporting them. You never give up on them, through thick and thin. I wish I knew how wrong they all were. How delusional and desperate they all were.

Hi, I am your clone
"Reporting live on news, I'm here with interviewer 'Carlo Caprese' here to talk about his interview with celebrity impersonator 'Savannah Lionel.' Savannah reported to journalist 'Dustin Limbo' after the death of 'Janice Kewen', about the defining horrors of the past years portraying her as an 'impersonator', rather more a clone... for actress, singer and dancer Kewen.

Facebook Ruined My Life
I hate Facebook. Really. I mean, I was sailing through life in blissful ignorance before Mark Zuckerberg came along and messed things up. Seriously, it was all rainbows and unicorns back in the day. Then, suddenly, it’s 2004, and BAM! There’s Facebook.
