Teenage years
A Story of My Escaping Toxic Family Dynamics
“They’ll either want to kill you, kiss you, or be you.” ― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay Family is often said to be what you are stuck with, and extended family is no different. We had seemingly good relations with my uncle’s family, even though my mom kept telling stories about their nonsense ways of connecting, or better yet, lack of connection as humans to members of their own blood. She always said she didn’t want to upset my dad. He always gave my uncle’s family money to help, without expecting anything in return. Ironically, this generosity stirred envy rather than gratitude.

Dearest
Your words, they fall like rain on my spirit, unkind and cold, Jesting in shadows, they pierce my heart, a story untold. When slurs slip from your lips, they cut through the air, A term that wounds deeply, it's too much to bear. Your jests at my friends, at the essence of who they are, Mocking the pronouns they cherish, it leaves a scar.

My friend was dying, and I was "CARELESS" to say goodbye
I will always remember "Sheeran" the way she was when we first met in school in 2010. It was fourteen years ago, on the school premises. She was with her partner in crime, and I was with mine. All four of us were lost playing hide and seek, and you won’t believe, from class 3 to 4, we never missed a single day playing hide and seek.

The Old Sheeps' Farm
My earliest memories are always filled with sheep. My father had sheep, and so did a lot of the neighbours. They had been crucial to the island economy for generations, providing both meat and the wool for our traditional fabric, Harris Tweed, which was spun at home by women and sold to bolster families' income.
