You Are
You are seen. You are heard. The world is the place that we physically live in, but we don’t have to let it define us. We are spiritual beings with physical bodies, and our spirits and minds and bodies comprise our souls. Our mind is a battlefield that the enemy is constantly breaching and staining, but it can only happen with our unknowing consent.

Being Free in 2025
It wasn't until the arse-end of 2024 that I suddenly figured out what is wrong with my life. How askew my expectations are. And how many things I am anxious about that I just shouldn't be. It took someone being unfair to me to realize that no one else but me was going to be my advocate. That no friendship is worth being treated unfairly and just letting it slide. I always knew something was missing in my life. I thought it was because I couldn't find anyone who loved me for me. Nope. It was because I didn't love me. I didn't take care of me first. I didn't know when to let people go. Once I told myself, "You don't have to beg for anyone's love" everything changed. That's where I am right now. Trying to live in this new reality and albeit lonely, it is much better for my mental health, methinks.

The Echo of Alone
In a crowded room where laughter spills, Voices echo, yet the silence chills. A smile painted on faces, bright and bold, But deep within, a story goes untold.

Nature's Embrace: Finding Calm in Chaos
In the dense shadows where worries linger, I discover a path, winding and long, A rustling leaf, a gentle breeze, Nature beckons, and my heart feels strong.

Atmospheric River and Wind
Another weather warning - atmospheric river - in the sky a river of rain flowing all day, a waterfall wavering over trees, winding down streets, widening puddles that fill with yellow and orange leaves
