Secrets
Masked Duality: The Joy and Sorrow Within
Within the depths of my being, a ceaseless conflict brews. A clash of opulent dreams against the starkness of reality. Vivid memories of opulence weave themselves into the fabric of my consciousness, each reminiscence etched deeply within.

Anxiety Sucks
Everyday I wake up never knowing what the day is going to look like. Is today going to be a good and productive day, or will today be another day fighting my thoughts and irrational fears? Most days I am okay, as I have been better at managing things. Others are so bad just doing one small thing takes the most out of me. Ever since the pandemic I've gotten really bad agoraphobia and only leave the house when I have to, or feel like I can. The amount of self talk that I have to do sometimes is crazy to me, but I keep trying anyway.

How I Meet Your Mum
An African tale that tells us in dept of how couples meet in the early 90’s in Africa. In a secluded area deep in the forest bellow the great oak trees and no shrubs due to little sun light that hits the surface, around here its called a forest a home for wild animals. Though during the day the forest is calm due to fact that most of the wild animals live in the deep dark parts of the forest. There might be little or no game during the day and the catch depends on stealth and precision still so the animals are very wise and can sense the human from a mile away and make a run for it so as not to become the prey.

I Must Be Merry
I’ll be honest, I’ve not been merry or happy during these holidays. I haven’t been happy for a long time. Ever since this past summer. These holidays I really had to push myself to act happy. Anytime I was out and about I smiled and pretended as best as I could. Now, being at home for my holiday break I find myself numb to everything and everyone. It’s such a strange feeling because I feel at peace being numb. Feeling nothing feels good to me. Deep down I know that this isn’t right. I know that I am allowing my depression to take me again, I don’t want that. I know that the reason I want to feel numb is because I’m too afraid of feeling sadness or happiness. This neutral place feels good and safe, but in reality is neither of those things. The New Year is coming up and I’m starting to feel myself drawn to a new year’s resolution. It is only one resolution but one that if I’m able to achieve will affect many aspects of my life. My resolution for this coming year is to be happy, truly happy.

Friendship Breakups
Friendship breakups, do you think they are easier or harder to deal with than romantic breakups? I feel like this topic is rarely discussed, and since I just recently went through one of a friend of 25 years I wanted to weigh in on the topic. In our society we put so much emphasis on how hard romantic relationships are to maintain, and how hard they are to get over. In my opinion friendships are just the same if not harder to maintain and get over.

first love - notes i wrote in my diary 5 years ago when i was 17. Content Warning.
Am I in love ?? It’s so scary to be in love I don’t know if he loves me. He doesn’t even know how happy I get when I see him, my heart genuinely starts beating so fast and my eyes glow, he’s even told me they do.

yeah i’m a bit of a hopeless romantic…. Content Warning.
Yeah I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic Do u know how badly I wanna write someone a cute love letter every week with a bunch of lipstick kisses on it & buy anniversary gifts for them and wrap them up in cute bows and make pretty cards and play with their hair for hours at a time while listening to them babble about something they’re so interested about while I admire the way their eyes twinkle when they talk about it and go lie in the grass with them in the dark and count all the stars until we get tired and I get to sleep on his chest and go on a cute picnic with someone where I bring hand picked vegetables from my garden & bake sugar cookies and pick out flowers and put them in their hair while they lie in my lap and listen to me talk for hours and watch all their favourite shows with them just because they like them and complimenting them when they look cute and seeing their smile lines show up and going on long long walks where we act like children and run around stupid while he chases me down and catches me and go grocery shopping with him where we spend so much time trying to pick out the perfect watermelon and sitting on top of a hilly area and watching the sunset while we talk about our life stories and going to the carnival during the evening where we go on the Ferris wheel together and going hiking where we hold hands and make sure none of us fall and going out to eat at a beautiful restaurant with a beautiful oceanfront view and also having cute dates at home where we both learn to cook something new and fail miserably so we settle for bagel bites & binge watch all his favourite movies only because I love seeing him happy

7 Years of Bad Luck
The day I met him I broke a mirror. I should have known it wasn't going to end well. After seven years I finally waked away. I finally took him off the pedestal and his fall from grace looks great from this point of view. I gave him all the best of me. I wasn't surprised how we ended but that doesn't mean that it didn't hurt. The love wa there but that didn't really change anything. It didn't save anyone. There were just too many forces against us but it still didn't matter that the love was there. When he told me that being in love felt like a job, not something he really wanted, just something you have to do, a part of me broke.

The Ideal Christmas Gifts I would l Would Love To Have. What's Yours?
Christmas morning is almost up on us again and there are lots of presents that will be opening, especially by children, because the season has now moved well away from it's intended purpose - to celebrate Christ's birth - to focusing on commercial concerns, like acquiring material possessions.
