Merry Go Round M/V
First of all, wtf. Second of all, wtf. Third, Girl. I woke up this morning and looked at the m/v on Spotify ( cause the only way you're going to see it) . I was floored ,but was confused at first because I wasl ike what is going on ,but played it again. Slowly the carousel creeped me out and how it's in space. It in a comforting state too when I was looking at it and at first I was like aww they still saying we are their Universe ,but they are stuck on the ride and trying to get off of it still as well. I find it fucked up how it was comforting til it wasn't ,but life goes on , my friend. Anywho, I realize there's alot of meanings that was going on and here's my theory:

The Big Move
Hello dear Vocal friends, I am sorry for my long stretch of silence and happy to find familiar friends still here. For many reasons that will not all find their way to this blurb, I moved to Spain with my spouse. A driving factor was the urge to travel and see more of the world. Europe for a start, Asia hopefully next. Another thing was the ratio of cost of living to income. The math crunched out that we could live in Spain while my husband worked full-time and I focused on writing full-time or we could live in a lower cost of living state in the US, far from anything too extraordinary.

Public Apology To All Vocalites
Hello everyone. I would like to thank Harper Lewis for bringing this to my attention. She wrote this piece below about me: I think she has voiced out what many of you didn't/couldn't say because a few did agree with her in the comments. I never realised that my congratulatory comments came across as noise. You may say that she didn't mention my name in her piece, but anyone who knows me knows that that's my signature comment and emoji sequence. I apologised to her in the comments and she has replied. I had no idea that my congratulatory comments angered and offended her, but I'm glad she let me know about it. I don't know who else I've angered or offended or annoyed with my congratulatory comments. I'm so sorry to all those that I have. Please forgive me 😭😭😭🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I'll never leave another congratulatory comment again. Thank you for letting me be happy and excited for your achievements for the past four years 🥹❤️

How to live a happy life
- On gratitude: "Don't be like a sieve, trapping impurities and letting go of flour; rather, be like a bee, landing only on what is pure and leaving behind only sweet traces. He who forgets the kindness of others when he becomes wealthy will find himself alone when he becomes poor." - On dealing with hardship: "If you find yourself in dire straits, do not complain to others and demean yourself. Instead, be like the sea; its depths seething with the roar of waves, while its surface remains calm and dignified. Remember that light only enters a room through a crack in the wall; perhaps your pain is the gateway to relief." - On the reality of sustenance: "Do not exhaust yourself chasing after worldly possessions like a beast; what is meant for you will come to you despite your weakness, and what is not meant for you, you will not attain despite your strength. The lesson is not in accumulating wealth, but in the blessing bestowed upon it. How many a man of a palace sleeps restlessly, while how many a man of a humble hut sleeps soundly." - On the value of silence and words: "Before you utter a word, let it pass through three doors: Is it truthful? Is it necessary? And is it kind? For a word is like a bullet; once it is released, it cannot be taken back, and it may kill a heart that its owner built over years." - On patience with fate: "Do not grieve if a door you desperately wanted closes in your face; perhaps behind that door lies a fire that will consume your dreams. God does not withhold good from you except to give you something more lasting and beneficial, so surrender to His plan and you will find happiness." - A lesson in self-development: "Do not compare your beginnings to the successes of others; for every flower blooms in its own time. Work on yourself in silence, and let the noise of your success speak for itself. Humility at the top is more difficult than patience at the bottom, so be like the ears of wheat; the full ones bow down, while the empty ones remain proudly upright in vain."

The Legend of Deliverance
‏I breathe in an air where a stench lingers, and a sense of loathing for myself and those around me rages unchecked. I walk through a moment in history where I am more hopeless than yesterday, yet forced to live for tomorrow...

The Getting to Know Each Other Game Edition #4
It has now been nearly three and a half weeks since the last Getting to Know Each Other game, and during that time life has been moving in several unexpected directions. A lot has unfolded over these past few weeks—some of it heavy, some of it exhausting, and some of it surprisingly inspiring. It has been a season filled with emotion, reflection, and a renewed sense of how quickly life can shift beneath your feet.

EN REALIDAD
This is an old writing. My AI, when I asked it to analyze this called it "prose-poem manifesto". I cut maybe 3-5 words from the original and had my AI create breaks to make it more readable or digestible, if you will. But the writing, every word, is mine. Enjoy..or not.

Searching for Those Who Resemble Us
Perhaps these words pass by some people casually, but there are also those who consider them with deep contemplation. They are not just short, ordinary, fleeting words, but rather very profound thoughts that many of us frequently ask ourselves, and I am one of them.

Writers vs. Filmmakers
This is the opening chapter of a series I’ve been shaping about the quiet, invisible split between writers and filmmakers, a divide I’ve lived inside my whole creative life. I wanted to write this in a simple, everyday voice, the way I’d explain it to a friend over coffee. No jargon, no pressure, just the truth of how two different creative minds can look at the same story and see two completely different worlds. If you’ve ever wondered why the page and the screen feel like two separate planets, this is where the map begins.
