Divorce isn't an end; it's a different beginning.
Personality versus Outward Appearances
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to use an artistic depiction of a tire swing to coincide with an article that is on the topic of human superficiality. I think I'll explain it like a parable. The tire swing is not your typical swing found at most parks. There have been many man-made swings, but the standard swing is not meant to spin and is designed in most cases for one person to sit on. The tire swing is unique because not only is it an upcycle (saving the planet from tires dumped at the bottom of the ocean or rivers) it also can carry two children, swing back and forth, and spin for delirious enjoyment. I think of the tire swing the way I think of how people can sometimes get bent out of shape regarding how people look. Some care nothing about it, while others care too much about it. Most lack a good balance. When someone isn't by standard definition of "attractive" or "beautiful" they are often described as having a great personality, to soften the judgements of those who have not met the person before and introduce them as desirable regardless. Let's say a standard swing is the normal definition of "attractive" or "beautiful", and the tire swing has a great personality. Now you understand the connection.

Heartbreak
Emma sat alone on the park bench, watching as children played on the swings and couples strolled by, hand in hand. It was a bright, sunny day, but the light failed to penetrate the heavy cloud of sorrow enveloping her heart. She clutched her phone tightly, rereading the text message for what felt like the hundredth time.

The Fading Light Of Love
Alex and Emma are a young and beautiful couple from the loving town once upon a time. Alex was what one would describe as suave, muscular built, highlighted by sharp blue eyes and that killer smile. He was self-assured and seemed to have the gift of the gab and there is no doubt that he was rather handsome. While Tom was a rough exterior and a rather cruel man, Emma was a beautiful woman, with a good heart to boot. They got married because she can easily get hypnotized by Alex and have been deeply in love with him.

Navigating the Journey, from Fear, to Liberation; Overcoming Social Anxiety and Welcoming a Fresh Start
Social anxiety, also referred to as phobia is a mental health issue characterized by a strong fear of social situations. Individuals dealing with anxiety often feel extremely self conscious and fearful of being judged or rejected in settings. This can result in avoiding interactions, which can greatly affect ones well being. Social anxiety may manifest through symptoms, like sweating, trembling, fast heartbeat and difficulty speaking in scenarios. It may also lead to self perceptions and beliefs that contribute to the cycle of anxiety.

We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet.
We are 6 months into 2024 and I haven’t achieved all my goals yet. Let’s be true to ourselves, this is the stance of millions worldwide. We all have made our New Year resolutions and have faltered in our discourse of being consistent and true about it. To be consistent in your stance, you need clarity and focus on what you are headed towards, when the head is lost in aimless directions of what should be, we lose our sight of what we are and where we should be headed. In absolute honesty, I too was directionless in the first 6 months of my existence in 2024. To give you more insight into my journey here is my account of the first half of 2024-

Cuddle Comfort
Cuddle Comfort, What’s That? So, what do I mean by “cuddle comfort” exactly? If you take it literally, then it can seem like it is a bit obvious. However, it’s not always a physical act or state of being. Cuddle comfort is just an act, touch, or anything really that gives you that sense of comfort or security in the moment. These moments usually even bring some form of clarity as well. That’s the simplified explanation of what cuddle comfort is; or at least in regards to how I refer to it and what I refer to it as.

Should You Apologize if You Were Wronged First?
A few years back, I read the book Hiroshima by John Hersey. It recounted with devastating detail the effect of the nuclear bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima at the end of the Second World War. The annihilation of Hiroshima is a tragedy of unbelievable proportions. 78,000 people were killed instantly; many tens of thousands died later from the after effects. Moreover, this was a city — a civilian target — and the bomb decimated men, women, and children indiscriminately. Many of the people involved in creating and deploying the atomic bomb have voiced their compunctions about doing so. Yet, in the many decades that have passed, every American president has refused to apologize for the act. The U.S. has officially apologized for a number of things over the years, including the overthrow of the kingdom of Hawaii, slavery and Jim Crow, the Tuskegee experiment, and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Why not, then, apologize for dropping the atomic bomb?
