The Nuances of Elderly Care
Elderly care is a topic that resonates deeply with me, mainly because of my grandmother, Viola. A woman of immense grace and wit, she was the cornerstone of our family. Her vibrant spirit remained undiminished as she aged, but her physical capabilities began to wane. My family found ourselves navigating the complex and emotional journey of ensuring she received the care she needed, all the while honoring her independence and zest for life. This experience, both challenging and enriching, has led me to reflect on the broader aspects of elderly care, its implications, and how we can approach it with dignity, compassion, and respect.

The Ultimate Betrayal Pt.1
The Betrayal That Cracked Our Family Like a Boom Whumpf! The news landed in my inbox like a sack of bricks. A text from my cousin, Sarah, a jumble of words that sent a cold dread slithering down my spine. My Great-Grandma Millie, the woman who dispensed wisdom alongside slices of her legendary pecan pie, was in a nursing home. The worry gnawed at me, a persistent buzz in my brain. But what came next was a revelation that would crack the foundation of our family like a** boom.**

The Ultimate Betrayal Pt.2
Dust Motes in a Silent Symphony Dust motes danced a jig in the neglected sunlight creeping through Grandma's dusty windows. Silence pressed down heavy, a stark contrast to the woman who once filled this space with booming laughter and the soul-warming scent of her legendary buttermilk biscuits. Grief threatened to drown me, but beneath the sorrow, a spark flickered to life. My firecracker of a grandma, a woman who'd stared down dust storms and Depression-era hardships with a withering look, wouldn't have gone gentle into that good night. Neither would I.

Not Just an Aunt,
Today, had she lived...my Aunt 'Cile (short for Lucile) would have been 100 years old! It boggles the mind to be old enough to think of Centurian milestones in the people that had a larger-than-life influence on you since birth. But today, I pay respect to her and all she has done for me and her other nieces and nephews. Also to honor the person she was as an individual.

Both men and women always have sweet fantasies about the uncertain future. Especially when you feel that the man or woman around you has made you uncomfortable and dopamine is no longer secreted.

Love vs. Tradition: Navigating Marriage Choices
In the intricate tapestry of human relationships, few decisions carry as much weight and significance as the choice of a life partner. For generations, societal norms and cultural traditions have played a pivotal role in shaping the way individuals approach marriage, particularly in communities where arranged marriage is the norm. However, as attitudes towards relationships continue to evolve and societal expectations undergo a transformation, more and more individuals are challenging the idea of arranged marriage and opting for love-based unions instead.

Dust and Determination: The Battle for Home. Content Warning.
In the heart of a bustling community, there stood a modest compound house that had been home to a diligent tenant for three long years. This tenant, a hardworking woman, had faithfully abided by the rules of the house - sweeping the compound and maintaining cleanliness as per the weekly schedule.

Notes on my first public appearance.
Photo by Redd F on Unsplash It felt weird to not write anything of consequence last week, after consistently writing for eleven weeks now (this is my twelfth, which feels like a milestone of sorts.) It was nice to just be present, to enjoy the time exploring San Diego with my husband, and to just check out from things for a few days, but it still felt weird, and I felt a little bit guilty. I don’t know where the guilt came from since I don’t technically owe anyone anything, I don’t have an editor or a deadline, and my two-piece a week goal is strictly for myself, but maybe it is because I felt like I was letting myself down a bit or not taking my weekly steps to doing this professionally or reaching my goals. Maybe I just felt like I was letting all of my five paid subscribers down by not providing content that they paid for (even though my five paid subscribers are my mom, my dad, my sister, my aunt and my husband and I think they would all forgive me and still love me even if I never wrote another thing ever again- but seriously, how do I get more paid subscriptions here?!) Maybe I just am taking this journey seriously because I want it so badly, and taking a week off feels like I’m not applying myself. But here I am, and I feel rested, my brain feels fresh, it is the astrological New Year, so onward we go, and it feels like things are about to get much, much easier, even if I don’t quite know how yet.
