School
The Reunion I Never Attend
Is it just me? As I sit here, reminiscing about the past and the numerous school reunion parties I've intentionally skipped, a flood of memories rushes in. The invites arrive every few years, tempting me to revisit the past, to reconnect with faces etched in the book of my school memories. Yet, each time, I find myself grappling with the same internal debate..."should I go or should I stay away?"

It was the first day of school after a very long summer holiday . I was the type of person who loved school very much because I found it fun to have fun with my peers and play with them. After I became 14 years old, new students moved to our school, and this is where my story began.

I have several other items in my head right now that need attention: bills; exams to give, create and mark; trips home to plan (tickets are an easy click away); family dramas (better for another piece); other concerns… I wish I could focus on something else right now. I wish that life made some sort of sense so that this would not hurt the way it does. But that is the problem with hope and that eternal spring… Life often provides you with nothing but cold reality in the form of news that takes the wind out of your sails and crushes your heart.

It started innocently enough – just a little fever. The kind that makes you think a good night's sleep and a few over-the-counter pills will fix everything. Little did I know that this seemingly insignificant fever would unravel into a series of events that would reshape my perspective on life.

The rhythmic tapping echoed through the room, a relentless assault on my sanity. It was a sound so innocuous yet increasingly infuriating, like a water droplet persistently hitting the same spot. I sat at my desk, trying to focus on the spreadsheet in front of me, but the tapping invaded my concentration, demanding acknowledgment.

This is not a typical essay on weight loss. I am not a typical person. Don’t expect recipes for darling cupcakes made of cauliflower and kale. I am stubborn, smart aleky, protective, immature, sincere, intelligent, intuitive, and sometimes a pain to be around. You should learn from my mistakes. Also understand I am NOT a physician and have NO medical background whatsoever. You should always check with your doctor before you change anything in your life regarding your health, like skydiving or maybe having that weird mole checked out while you’re there.

In Search of Reflection
I don't think we ever discover who we are. Identity is a never-ending book that continues to write new chapters as we experience life, and your story only ends when the pen is set down. When your story reaches a close, only you can describe everything. But there's no one word to sum up the life you lived and who you were. Others can title your story as they please and leave reviews, but you wrote every word of your story. So, on that last page, who do you think you'll be in your story? Did you become this person, or did you let this character you wanted to be, define where the story was headed?

Title: The Prophetic Dreams: A Journey Through Time As a ten-year-old, I found myself immersed in a world of dreams each night, vivid and realistic as if they were unfolding before my eyes. A curious fact, which I failed to fully appreciate until years later had a revelation. Back then, I never wrote down my night visions in my diary, relying on the advice of a certain person who claimed that transcribing dreams could make them come true. Little did I know that this suggestion would manifest itself in the most unexpected way, five years down the road.

In the bustling town of Willow Creek, nestled amidst rolling hills and blooming meadows, stood St. Mary's Church—a sanctuary not just for prayers but for whispers of secrets and confessions. Every Friday evening, the church echoed with the youthful voices of the town's teenagers, drawn together for their weekly confessional meetings.
