Teenage years

Don't Worry About Me
Don’t worry about me. That’s the line I hand out like candy. Easy. Sweet. Disarming enough to make people stop asking. I say it when I’m tired.

honest feelings
Screw it i been siting here for about 10 minutes wanting to put this down on paper but i just stared at the keyboard for those 10 minutes not knowing the best way to say this so why not just say screw it and be competly. Im sure im gonna go off script a few times with this but apparently, rouge is my strong suit. I mean ask my dad and fly into the sky to ask my mom if they had the bet that i’ll be locked up in jail by the time i saw the date of march 14th in 18 different years. Go ask mr.b if i followed the script or went and got the gang those big macs and the nuggets even tho he did all he could to prevent it, and no Hayley i didn't get hit by that car that day i took longer then usual. Those deacons, the pastor and a few others at that building of faith knows and im sure my peps are beyond annoyed when i remind them but i had no passion to go to that building thats open every sunday. I mean i watched friend after friend betraye me in one way or another, on a side note why did it take 6 of you to take me to one of my knees but ya still expected me to brush it off with a smile. Nah go commit another crime and i’ll see you in 10 to 20. I was watching the women, whose final words to me was muttering the two words of do good, lose the abitly to stand, eat and talk. By the way betty and deb ya still hate the fact that those cops droped those charges since ya some liars aint you. I knew of god but mam i never figured i’ll even look at a bible since there was no point. So why the heck did i walk those 2 hours and shake homie’s hand out there that sunday out by the mailbox? Because you happened. I made up a excuse that i was there for the cross’s of the t but i didnt even know what of the 3 generation of that guy with the same name i was talking to. I probably shouldnt have told that 3rd generation that i came because of you because he put me on that spot when we stood by those chairs after the service and he said do you know josh. We never talked in those hallways that i got smacked by a guy that i bumped in that crowed hallway aint have classes either. You led the way on the courts and the sandlot and i raned those races. So there should have been no way for our paths to cross and now because of my greatest mistake our paths might never cross again.

Violet Eyes. Content Warning.
“It’s over,” Zona kept telling herself. “It’s done...” Her violet eyes lit up as she stood there, unmoving, scanning the room for any sign of hope—any faith that even a breath could shatter the fragile illusion of a stable world. That she would get caught, be seen, heard.

Building Unshakeable Confidence as a Single Woman
Let's be real – being a confident single woman in today's world isn't always easy. Between social media comparisons, well-meaning friends asking when you'll "settle down," and your inner critic whispering doubts, it can feel like you're constantly swimming upstream. But here's the thing: building unshakeable self-confidence isn't just possible – it's your birthright.

My Journey From Self-Doubt to Self-Love
There was a time when just getting through the day felt like carrying a thousand-pound weight I couldn’t name. I’d smile at people, laugh at the right moments, and keep myself “put together.” But inside? I was constantly battling the belief that I wasn’t good enough, like no matter what I did, I was always falling short. Of what exactly? I wasn’t even sure. All I knew was that I couldn’t keep living like that.

The Lie That Saved My Family
I never thought one lie could change everything. I used to believe honesty was sacred, that truth was the foundation of love, trust, and family. But that was before the day I picked up the phone and lied to my mother to save the life we had all built together.

Brown Girl Instructions
Be quiet. But not too quiet — Or they’ll say you’re rude. Smile more. But not too much — You don’t want to look “easy.”

Why My Decor Looked Happy—But My Soul Still Felt Empty
Everywhere you scroll these days, homes appear to be technicolor therapy sessions. Neon lamps. Checkered rugs. Strawberry pink walls. Squiggle mirrors. Plastic furniture that looks like it came out of a childhood dream—or a retro video game. They call it dopamine decor—a design trend built around mood-boosting colors, nostalgic patterns, and sensory delight. And in a culture that's been swimming in stress for the better part of a decade, it makes sense. People want something cheerful. Something that doesn't feel cold or corporate or heavy. Something that feels… happy.

people who have nearly no close friends or family to lean on usually display these habits without realizing it
In today’s hyper-connected world, loneliness is a growing epidemic that often goes unnoticed. Not everyone who appears fine on the surface is truly okay inside. Some individuals have little to no emotional support—no close friends to confide in, no family members to rely on. And while they may function "normally" in society, they often display subtle, unconscious habits that point to a deeper lack of connection and support. These behaviors are not always easy to spot—even the people exhibiting them may be unaware.

10 body language signs of someone who secretly admires you
Have you ever sensed that someone may secretly admire you — even though they’ve never said it out loud? The truth is, when words fail, body language speaks. In fact, over 70% of human communication is nonverbal. So if someone secretly likes you, there’s a good chance they’re revealing more than they realize through gestures, posture, and facial expressions.

"The Last Voice Note"
I never meant to send it. I had recorded the voice note out of frustration, anger… maybe even desperation. It was past midnight, and I hadn’t heard from Arman in over three days. We weren’t officially broken up, but the silence said everything.

10 Blatantly Sexist Remarks About Women Made by a Man
Anyone can be sexist — men, women, and people of other genders. Discrimination isn’t limited to one group. It’s horrible, disgusting, annoying, and very unfair. Unfortunately, this is something we have to encounter once in a while, because people suck. There it is, one of the most straightforward pieces of wisdom I can share with others: humans suck. Pardon my lack of scientific terminology.
