What I Know For Sure
Everything I know for sure, from travelling solo and 21 years of life.
Write what you know they say
Well what do I know? What do I know for sure?
I know, that the growth zone is where your biggest fears happen to lie.
After graduating school I made a vow to myself to dive head first, in the deep end.
Commit to doing what terrifies me the most.
It’s been the most empowering & challenging two years thus far.
You’re exactly where you need to be, God, the Universe is always whispering & guiding you on which steps to take.
There is no such thing as coincidences, they act more as a divine gps.
And when you take a wrong turn, the signs will reroute you in the right direction.
Be aware.
Follow the signs.
Relationship is what we were designed for.
Life will break your heart, all of our hearts, but light will shine through the cracks & the love you were blind to, will finally seep in.
We were put on this earth to be of service to others. Every single one of us has gifts, everyone has a purpose.
Your life journey is discovering what yours are.
When you do, do right by them.
It is, after all, your duty.
Invest your time in helping people and travelling- everything else will get old.
Connecting with people and experiencing this vast world, never will.
And at the end of it all, those in your life prove to be everything, the relationships you nurture are priceless.
I discovered that moments when I felt boundless within myself & within the world, are those I cherish the most.
It’s the euphoria that ignites your entire body while dancing with people who feel like home.
Its undiscovered adventures becoming new experiences.
It’s fleeting moments with strangers, peering into each other’s souls.
It’s true vulnerability and the interconnection between us all.
It’s travelling to a land that is nothing like your own, and still finding proof that we all really are, just one in the same.
It’s reuniting with old friends, and lost lovers.
It’s the love affair you have with the world & everything in it.
I know for sure that gratitude & compassion is the answer you are looking for.
I know for sure that life can be beautiful if you take it by the reins.
This is what I know for sure.

The hidden chronicles.
In the heart of an ancient library, where dust danced in the shafts of sunlight and the musty scent of parchment filled the air, there lay a collection of books unlike any other. These were the hidden chronicles – tales shrouded in mystery, their pages whispering secrets untold to all but the most intrepid of readers.Among those who dared to venture into the depths of the library was a young scholar named Oliver. With a thirst for knowledge that burned brighter than the sun, he spent his days immersed in the study of history, seeking to unravel the enigmas of the past that lay buried beneath layers of time and obfuscation.One fateful day, as Oliver pored over the ancient tomes that lined the shelves, he stumbled upon a volume that seemed to beckon to him with a siren's call. Its cover, worn and weathered with age, bore no title or inscription, yet Oliver sensed that within its pages lay the key to unlocking the mysteries that had long eluded him.With trembling hands, he lifted the book from its resting place and began to read. The words danced before his eyes, weaving a tapestry of intrigue and wonder that pulled him deeper into the labyrinth of its narrative.As he turned page after page, Oliver discovered a tale unlike any he had encountered before – a story of forbidden knowledge and ancient secrets, whispered only in hushed tones by those who dared to speak its name.It spoke of a lost civilization, hidden from the annals of history by the passage of time and the machinations of fate. Its people were said to possess knowledge beyond comprehension, wielding powers that defied the laws of nature and reason.But with great power came great peril, and the civilization's downfall was wrought by their own hubris and ambition. Their secrets, once guarded with the utmost zeal, were scattered to the winds, their legacy consigned to the realm of myth and legend.As Oliver delved deeper into the story, he became consumed by a fervor unlike any he had known before. He scoured the library for clues, piecing together fragments of forgotten lore in a desperate bid to uncover the truth hidden within the pages of the ancient tome.But the more he searched, the more elusive the truth became, slipping through his fingers like grains of sand. He found himself caught in a web of deception and half-truths, his quest for knowledge leading him down paths fraught with danger and deceit.Yet even in the face of adversity, Oliver pressed onward, driven by a conviction that burned brighter than any flame. For he knew that the secrets contained within the hidden chronicles held the key to understanding the mysteries of the world – and perhaps even to unlocking the secrets of his own soul.As the days turned into weeks and the weeks into months, Oliver's obsession with the hidden chronicles consumed him utterly. He neglected his studies, his friendships, and even his own well-being, all in pursuit of a truth that remained tantalizingly out of reach.But just when all hope seemed lost, Oliver stumbled upon a clue that would change everything. Hidden within the pages of an obscure manuscript, he found a cryptic inscription that hinted at the location of the lost civilization – a place beyond the boundaries of the known world, where truth and fiction blurred into one.With newfound determination coursing through his veins, Oliver set out on a journey that would take him to the farthest reaches of the earth and beyond. Guided by the whispers of the hidden chronicles, he braved treacherous seas, forbidding mountains, and darkened forests teeming with ancient magic.And as he stood upon the threshold of the lost civilization, with the secrets of the ages spread out before him like a tapestry woven by the hands of destiny, Oliver knew that he had finally uncovered the truth that had eluded him for so long.For in the pages of the hidden chronicles, he had found not only the answers he sought, but also a truth far greater than any he could have imagined – the truth that some mysteries are meant to remain untold, hidden in the shadows of time for eternity.

In The Blink of Her Eye
Time itself bent and morphed, allowing Shannon the precious seconds needed to see and adjust to the disaster unfolding in front of her. Each frame showed minute details she would have missed had the clock not slowed down until she heard every click of the hands as they swept toward the end of everything. If only she was being melodramatic...
