Busting Balls
He had many nicknames, but usually preferred to be addressed as Red Power Ranger. My blonde-haired, blue-eyed, cherub of a brother was born the year I turned thirteen. His name was Gabriel – like the Christmas angel – and he sometimes believed he could fly.

I wearily climbed into bed at 3am, Christmas Eve. Well technically I guess it’s Christmas morning. Why was I getting to bed so late?

Distributed Intelligence
I found Celia on the bench in front of the octopus exhibit. She sat quietly before the huge wall of glass, legs hanging over the edge of the bench with her feet swinging gently back and forth.

Why Do Some Families Repeat Older Generations Mistakes?
Families can be the best thing in your life when you're younger. How you cherish your mom and your dad. You want to spend every day with them. Do adult things if it means being by their side. As we get older we finally come into our own and pull away from being so attached.

Losing wealth, health and life
Formal proceedings for the Monetary Administrations Imperial Commission, which continued for this present week, are uncovering a few sketchy practices in the area - from loaning too far in the red, to offering some unacceptable monetary guidance and charging for counsel that was rarely given.

Hobo Aquarium
Something sounded fishy, when listening in on to my neighbours talking over ths fence. It sounded like the landlords were trying to move people out of their homes, to make way for their greed. The area I lived in was not very flash, but the rent was going up, in a hope to squeeze us out.

After-Brunch Tears
We had brunch together this morning. Kristie, Dayo, and baby Kayo. Noelle, Carter, little Sadie and baby Brynn. And me. Kristie, Noelle and I clustered around one end of the table, still reveling in all being together again after 12 years of living in different places. We've all changed so much in that time, but we've stayed in touch. The most visible and tangible changes are evident in the husbands and children who have been added to our group.

The development of the special festival
By and large, Christmas is the main occasion of the year. However that is generally a mishap, originating from a progression of far-fetched changes spreading over two centuries. A comparative arrangement of changes has impacted the improvement of other occasional occasions, similar to Hanukkah.

Grandma and Me
When I opened my eyes for the first time, you were by my side, you loved me more than anything in this life. I grew up a little bit and we shared the same room together. You told me interesting stories. We had sheep, chickens and a donkey. We used to take care of them together.

Inheriting My Family- Part 1
Last year, I lost my dad to a sudden heart attack and to be honest, it took quite a bit of time to get myself back together. At the time of my dad’s death, I was still in my final year of university and had spent most of 2020–2021 cooped up at home due to Covid restrictions.
