It turns out that we cannot even be in a team of people without instinctively mirroring, mimicking their opinions. Even about apparently non-public and visceral things like who you are attracted to, you will begin aping the beliefs of the human beings round you without even realizing that it's what you are doing.

The power of silence in life is a concept that emphasizes the significance and impact of silence in various aspects of our lives. While silence is often associated with the absence of sound, it encompasses a deeper meaning that extends beyond the mere absence of noise.

When we allow ourselves to be in silence, free from distractions, we can delve deep within ourselves, contemplate our thoughts, emotions, and experiences, and gain a clearer understanding of our own values, desires, and aspirations.

One-Sided Love
I remember the first time I laid eyes on him. I was only ten years old and my brother had invited him over to our house to hang out. At the time, I had no idea who he was but the moment I saw him, I felt something stir inside me. I felt as if the world around me stopped. He was a few years older than me but that didn't matter. I didn't want him to love me back, I just wanted to be close to him, His presence was enough for me. Whenever he came over, I felt like I was on cloud nine but on the days he didn't come, I felt lost as if something important was missing from my life. I went out of my way to see him, even going as far as befriending his younger sister. She was nice, I liked her and till today, I cherish her.

Lost in the Shuffle
Written in 2019. I feel guilty I do not remember as much about my little sister Itzel’s childhood as I do our other sister, Chelsey. Maybe it is because her childhood is still ongoing or because I was lumped with Chelsey all the time, despite her only being five years older. All three of us are closer than a lot of sisters. I talk more about Chelsey; I share more with Chelsey. Of course, she is nearly sixteen and Itzel is eleven, while I am twenty-five. Chelsey and I remember the harsher moments of our childhoods, working hard to protect Itzel from such gruesome matters. It made us good sisters, it made us close, but it also tore me apart from Itzel.
