Teenage years

My dad
I'm a daddy's girl. My dad is 73. I'm 39 He still treats me like I'm 16, and even though it frustrates me to the ends of the world, we're both facing his mortality, despite the fact that he's healthy, whole and still works around the house like he's the one about to turn 40.

“Ticking time bomb”
Everyone called me “strong.” They had no idea I was about to explode. And when I did… it wouldn’t just destroy me. I used to be the kind of person people admired. Good grades, calm behavior, always smiling. Teachers trusted me. Friends depended on me. Even at home, I was the “perfect son.” But no one ever asked me if I was okay.

She Still Can't Look at His Name in Her Contacts
We were just sitting together - the kind of sitting where you're not really doing anything, just existing in the same space. Tea going cold. Phone face down. Nothing urgent anywhere.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow—it was a phrase Mira had first heard in a classroom where dust floated lazily in streaks of afternoon sunlight. Her literature professor had recited it slowly, like a spell, explaining how time could stretch endlessly forward, carrying both hope and despair in its wake.

12:00 — Consent to Begin
12:00 — I wake. Not late. Delayed on purpose. There were studies in the morning. I didn't miss them — I confirmed I wouldn't go.

Observations On An Ancient Childhood. Content Warning.
Introduction I do find it amusing and odd when certain things inspire me to write but I suppose that is just the way my mind works. This morning I went out to pick up my weekly deliverance of two pints of milk from McQueen's Dairies and that started me off for this story.

Secret Letter . Content Warning.
By now we're all well aware of what happened to me/us between 2020 and 2023. Today is Tuesday March 24, 2026, as I'm writing this; unknown if and when this should be published regarding Vocal's rules and regulations on each post. In Dissociative disorders and trauma-based responses are a good place to be. Timeline wise, but for clarification, some of the stuff I have brought up in past entries do deserve a trigger warning, and I am learning as a writer to disclose some of that shock value.

Word of the Day: 曖昧
Some things did not come to pass that were planned. But I am not bad for that. Yes, bitch could be a word to describe me, but not bad. I didn't do anything wrong. I just didn't do anything period.

A soul belongs to God, not to the state! Lord, love is Your greatest human prayer. Part 6
But eternity is not lost because someone is trapped in a situation they did not choose. Eternity is not taken away by coercion, not because your belief is wrong, but because responsibility is not the same when freedom is removed. A soul is judged by its truth, not by the circumstances imposed on it. And the truth of this boy is that he did not seek violence. He did not ask for this path. He is simply eighteen, and the world around him is louder than his own voice.

A soul belongs to God, not to the state! Part 5
I was reading further on media. The story does not end there though! ''The rabbi ordered students at ultra-orthodox schools to ignore, on religious grounds, conscription orders to the IDF, an order usually received at the age of 18. Non-compliance can see teenagers sent to prison, as has been the case with dozens of conscientious objectors of Israel’s war in Gaza. A 2024 order by Israel’s Supreme Court ended a long-standing exemption for Haredi Jews for conscription, after which the military began drafting ultra-orthodox men.''= well , looks like there is an imposition now. Was not a real deliberate choice of the boy! My heart is crying my friend! I wish i could to scream but still no help. An 18 years boy, must go to die. And as long is not the Creator way, where it will be his soul? will he lose eternity?
