My Drinking Got Out of Control
Trigger Warning: Alcohol and Medication Abuse As I reflected on my personal experiences, I remembered how I had abused substances in an attempt to drown out my pain, only to have it spiral out of control.

In the vast expanse of 1997, a year laden with the weight of pivotal decisions and unforeseen consequences, I found myself ensnared in the labyrinth of love and the pursuit of a better life. Little did I know that these seemingly innocuous desires would lead me down a path fraught with trials, tribulations, and ultimately, redemption.

The story begins on a serene Sunday morning eight years ago, within the walls of a grand church adorned with stained glass windows and echoing hymns. It was a congregation bustling with life, diverse in its assembly yet unified in spirit. As I took my seat amidst the rows of polished wooden pews, little did I know that this seemingly ordinary day would mark the beginning of a journey filled with love, complexities, and unforeseen twists of fate.

Nathal NortanPublished 8 days ago in ConfessionsThe price to pay for our ignorance
In the age of technology, education has never been more accessible, and I think it’s only going to become more so and possibly get to the point where we get injected knowledge directly into our brains. That will be an interesting outcome actually, less work for us knowing things and more time to apply that knowledge to do the things we like, but we are not there yet, so I’ll talk about the reality as it stands.

I recently submitted a rather distasteful story to the manuscripts section of a writer’s site, similar to Medium, planning to expand the story to book length. A memoir of pain and other mistakes. Various responses were received; some puzzled, some troubled, and others understood the message behind the story, which was authentic and recalled vividly in the harshest of terms.

I was never the one to shy away from a party. Tonight's office shindig was no different. I wanted to happy myself since I’ve not had any fun for a long time. I had charmed my way past the pathetic cheese cubes and headed straight for the cocktail stand.
Nathal NortanPublished 10 days ago in ConfessionsWhy things aren’t changing (for you)
The sad reality is that for a lot of us, our lives have been pretty much the same. We do the same things, we get the same results, and we constantly wish for a change, we want the world to change, for it to become a better place, a nicer place and everything we imagine.

One fact I wish more people knew about is just how lazy their brains are, especially when it comes to analyzing events and drawing conclusions. Our brains will always seek the easiest solution to avoid having to do a lot of work purposefully so to save on energy, time and resources. What this means is that in every occasion we have to make use of our willpower to push our brains not to limit itself to the basic conclusion but to go beyond.
real JemaPublished 12 days ago in ConfessionsGrowing Up with My Twin
Being a maze-like journey of life, we often find ourselves faced with tests of spirit, relationships and one’s perception of the world around us. One such time came at a friend’s birthday party in which I witnessed the bond between my sister whom I would refer to as “4 minutes early” in this piece, because she always teased me about her being older than me, even though we’re twins, now it’s not my fault the doctor accidentally hit ‘fast forward’ on her birth certificate!
