The Cycle of Dependency and Independence. Content Warning.
Hello, my friends, This is such a powerful reflection you've shared—thoughts about life’s complexities, roles, and struggles that many of us experience, yet often don’t discuss openly. What you've written beautifully captures the cyclical nature of dependency and independence, and the challenges that arise as we navigate these phases. It’s clear that the tension between nurturing and personal dreams is a universal theme, one that many feel deeply but rarely articulate.

On writers
Those of us who enter the Creative Writing Master of Fine Arts program do so without any reservations. We know the uphill battle we will trek, in the publishing and career world. We know we will have more rejections than we would like. Some of us will make it, and some won’t. Yet, we still try. Not for the fame or glory, and certainly not for the money. All of us in this program have the desire to be heard through our stories, I think, because an essential part of us has spent the majority of this life being mute. To birth characters and scenes, themes and interactions on the page is our way of being heard, but more than that, it’s our way of connecting with others who are equally mute.

The man that cry wolf
Once upon a time, in the quiet village of Eldermere, there lived a shepherd named Elias. He was a man of mischief, always playing pranks on the villagers, finding amusement in their frustration. His favorite trick was to cry out, “Wolf! Wolf!” and watch as the townsfolk came rushing up the hill with pitchforks and torches, only to find no danger at all.

You Are the Planet
''84 minerals, 23 elements and 8 gallons of water over 38 billion cells make you up. You were assembled from nothing by the spare parts of the earth you ate, following a set of instructions secreted in a double helix so small it could be transported by a sperm cell.

Busting the Biological Clock Myth: Empowering Women’s Choices
The most well-thought-out advice provided to women of this generation seems to be, "Have a baby when you are ready to raise one." But nobody discusses how to get there. One has to prepare for pregnancy only when one is ready financially, emotionally, and physically, as feminist discourses remind us. But due to your "ticking biological clock," this has to be done in a hurry. There was always pressure on women to bear children.
