Silver Sway
I saw Felicity Young's body blur into a haze of black and silver with every sway her hips gave towards the music, high upon the scarlet stage. The way her eyelids were softly closed, eyelashes beaded with sweat, somehow her heavy-black mascara holding up—traveled to me like a familiar scene from a 1920s city film. The ocean-thumps of a double bass laid out as a blanket beneath Felicity's warm melodic rays. I felt her voice make patterns across my soul.

Moving Toward Healing
Self-love is the road toward healing. These prompts are an invitation to step inside yourself. Rupi Kaur The road toward healing for me began in 1978 and for many others as religious freedom was given back to the Native American people in the USA. My freedom began when I started a recovery program for family and friends of alcoholics.

Comfort Zone Catastrophe: The Impact on Mental Health and Personal Growth
Comfort Zone Catastrophe: The Impact on Mental Health and Personal Growth Choosing comfort over discomfort can lead to unhealthy habits and ultimately contribute to feelings of depression. I am grateful that I have embraced stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging myself. It is common for people to stick to routines and avoid challenges, but I have learned the importance of pushing myself to grow. It is human nature to gravitate towards what is easy, whether it be sticking to familiar habits, maintaining a stagnant job or business, indulging in unhealthy eating habits, or spending excessive time on social media. Criticizing others is also a simple and common behaviour. This is all about remaining within your familiar and safe space.

The Day I Realized That Friendships Need Space
One day, while walking around my house, I overheard a story that caught my attention. It was about two friends — best friends — whose relationship had taken an unexpected turn. I wondered where it was coming from, so I searched around and found out it was coming from my dad’s phone. He was listening to a YouTube podcast.

A Letter to You
Before I post my next work I felt it was important to address a common theme that I explore in my writing. Love. Recently commenters have called my writing "interesting" or an odd way to describe love; because, in some cases I've chosen to focus on sides of love that are less frequently visited. For example, I've posted two poems about my sister. One addresses the aspects about her that would make me squirm, if anyone else did them. But because she’s my sister those things make me love her even more. The other poem paints a very stereotypical picture of an angelic sisterly admiration. Both address love but they do it in very different ways.

Is the "Not all men" trend still on?
It's funny to see women protesting and fighting for the respect they handed over by themselves. Its a woman's mistake after all. It's not the men's fault we are here wailing like this. Don't blame the men cause men will always be men. We cannot stop them, cause they are superior creatures than women. This is what the society taught us. The most hospitable Indian culture where the man is responsible of his woman and the woman is a mere home maker? A birthing machine? A slave? Isn't this the hospitality we are taught? Who even made these rules? Power comes with responsibility. But did responsibility ever come with cruelty? We as a society tricked men into taking responsibility of women. In return for worshipping them? Why did you have to sit down when your man sat on the chair? Why did you accept to get hit just because he was angry? Why did you eat the leftovers that no one wanted? Why did you let him tell you how to behave like a woman when you are the woman there? If you hadn't worshipped him so much so that he will protect you, he wouldn't have got his ego up so high! Maybe if the society did not respect these overrated creatures so much, and didn't feed their ego , maybe they would have learned to sit back down. Maybe if we had not worshipped them, they wouldn't have the need to pretend to be superior. They pretended so much that they even started to believe it themselves. We were made as equals. Where did the math go wrong? Behind every monster, there is a woman who didn't teach her son that he was same as her daughter. A woman who didn't fight for the same rights as her brother. A woman who worshipped him because she married him. Man kills for his narcissistic pleasure? Who even let this happen? Don't blame Men. Cause we as a society made a mistake, moved on from our mistake, but didn't bother to make it right. We trained him into thinking he can do anything that pleases him. We trained him from being our mutual to becoming a brutal. It's has gone beyond any individual's character or personality, it has become a disastrous spree, a recurring act of barbarism one after another. After every disaster we sit hoping every wrongdoer will make it right, when its actually in us that we have sowed the seeds of hope. While we still hope, talk about providing for the family? Now women are doing that too. If he brings flour , she makes bread. That is an equation. But in India, she makes bread and he brings hell on her head. Men are physically strong? There is no necessity for strength when there is no war. Men are emotionally strong? Says the the one who couldn't bear to keep his pants zipped. Men sacrifice so much for the family? Women too. Its just that women don't talk about it, and men don't shut up about it. Men protect their family? Who are these people even protecting us from? MEN? There! You have the answer! Dear men, do not tell "not all men". Every drop makes an ocean. Fix your every little flaw. It starts from the tiniest emotion. So is the "not all men" trend still on? Its high time we reverse it. Don't let bad be the new cool. Don't let the math go wrong. Call yourself a man only when you set the equation right. If you are angry, you are guilty. If you are guilty, you had made a mistake. If you had made a mistake, you belong with them. MEN☕️
