Until I Had None Left To Give. Top Story - April 2025.
So, I already had an entry for this challenge, and would have loved to have done something using my voice, etc., but I do not really have the resources or the budget for that. My first entry was solely the lyrics and structure, with lots of information about how I would have composed it if I had the time, resources, and skills.

fighting back with gratitude. Top Story - April 2025.
Life has kicked my ass lately. But that's okay because I fight back, even when I am feeling down in the gutter. Strength isn’t always loud or glamorous. Sometimes it is honestly just quietly choosing to keep going and to believe that better days are still ahead.

Earth Day. Top Story - April 2025.
Every day should be Earth Day, a day when we step outside and marvel at the earth we live on. At how blue the sky is and how every cloud is different. How every tree stands in place, and every flower blooms without any idea of how beautiful they are. How the breeze rustles leaves and flags, and clothes hanging on clotheslines wave deliriously to and fro. The water sparkles from the sun's light over a sky blue reflection, and for a moment in time all the world is right.

2016 CAVALIERS. Top Story - April 2025.
He remembered when she gave him that box, wrapped with a little gold bow. He may not have had the best grades, that was always her, always, but it didn’t take a genius to see how excited she was. Looking back, it was crazy how young they both were, yet seemed like yesterday.

Bound by Fate. Top Story - April 2025.
I was excited to write a song again because I haven’t written one in a long time. I lost my passion and inspiration after I lost someone from my family, but I am glad I found it again. I wrote this song because I really wanted to tell my story of how I met the only man I have ever truly loved. Plus, my best friend had been pushing me to go back to writing songs, and she had been telling me for a while now to write a song about my love story. I wasn’t sure if I would ever fall in love again because the last man, I was with hurt me so deeply, and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to give my heart away again. But that’s when I started my freshman year in college, and I found the man that had now stolen my heart. We both started off as best friends in college but, then we had gone our separate ways. He was a super senior in college and I was a freshman. I was instantly locked on him when I first him, but my heart was still guarded. I was in denial with what I was feeling but I couldn’t, and I knew what it was. I have never fallen that hard for someone before but, something felt just so right about him. I should have told him at the end of that one year how I felt before he left to go to graduate school. But we then were reunited 7 years later, and as we were getting to know each other all over again. I was wondering if I really was falling in love all over again, but I was keeping my heart guarded. But there was just something so magnetic that kept pulling me toward him, and I was listening to my intuition and I just felt safe around him. I kept wondering whether I should tell him how I feel or not; or I could keep asking myself what would happen if I didn’t. But shortly afterwards, we both ended up confessing our true feelings for one another that we both hid from one another after all these years. After being with him for the last couple of years I have learned a lot of lessons which changed both me and him for the better. So, I mostly want to dedicate this song to him and show how much he truly means to me and show how we’ve gotten this far even with just a few bumps in the road that were doable, and that we can weather any storm.

This is Laura Knight. Top Story - April 2025.
Today, I have rediscovered an art treasure I thought I had lost. And on my own doorstep. Foolishly, when I saw it in the Queer British Art exhibition in 2017, I didn't check where the painting was located. It is ironic, then, that despite several visits to the National Portrait Gallery in London over the past year, I had not seen the gallery where this sumptuous painting hangs in pride of place. Not until today, April 21, 2025.
