Confessions of a Former Alcoholic Part 15. Top Story - August 2025.
You may have heard this term before in the liberalism movement, but the human brain is distinguished from other animals by its will and ideas. I especially don't want to hear any religious terminology regarding my former faith anymore. Because after learning the realities about my former faith, I became disgusted with it and chose my own group.

Confessions of a Former Alcoholic Part 1 . Top Story - August 2025.
In the country I live in, absurd events occur almost daily, and people live in a state of lawlessness. People are almost always drunk and driving. I don't like this situation in my country, and I stay away from almost everyone.

Full of feelings and questions. Top Story - August 2025.
Who is my mother? And what has she become? Sometimes it feels like a completely different person stands before me—heartless, distant, cruel. What turned her into this? Money? Time? Boredom? Or something much deeper that I’ll never understand?

One More Cigarette - and the Choise to Live. Top Story - July 2025.
I sat up in bed with a jolt. Wide awake, all senses reaching out into the darkness. Nothing. A chill ran down my spine. The last thing I remembered was fleeing. He was after me. A knife—or was it a spade—raised high toward the sky, ready to slice my belly open like a forced harakiri. My feet caught in the jungle’s vines.

I Ghosted My Dream University. Top Story - June 2025.
I still live in the Czech Republic. Something about the affordable cost of living, short work week, sustainable public transportation, and abundance of people who like me here has driven me to stay. In fact, I have signed on for a second year as an English teacher with the same company, setting this up as potentially the longest I’ve stayed in one place since my undergrad. Yes, I’ve been back to the States a couple of times, because I’m saddled (blessed?) with a family that wants to see me regularly, but doesn’t want to go through the trouble of getting passports. I genuinely enjoy living in Europe, which is why it came as such a surprise when I realized that I don’t want to stay in Europe.

I Didn’t Feel Like a Real Writer Until I Became a Mom. Top Story - June 2025.
Imposter syndrome is a bitch and for a long time, it ran the show. I was writing for a news outlet—getting paid to write—and still didn’t believe I was a “real” writer. The title didn’t matter. The bylines didn’t matter. Something in me still felt like I was faking it. Like I was playing dress-up in someone else’s dream.

Just Keep Talking .... Dont Keep It Hidden. Top Story - May 2025.
Introduction This just popped up in my Seven Days In Top Twenty, and I think it contains some interesting concepts, but I still won't reveal the secret. I suppose this is part confessional, but ten years ago I was going to see various friends and tomorrow I am going to see friends and family, including Harry whom I have not seen since the nineteen seventies.

The Shopping List. Top Story - April 2025.
Author’s Note: A shopping list might seem like a simple thing, but it often carries all the small balances we try to keep in life — between what we want, what we need, and what we dream of. This poem is a lighthearted reflection of my own everyday choices, sprinkled with a bit of humor and honesty.
