Friendship
How To Meet You Again?
I never thought a simple sight could melt my whole being. Exhausted lungs because of laughter with your new companions, the way you start and end your day rinsing your soul with the hazy thought of my presence. Old, paced hallways like the ones you walked through without catching a peer of my silhouette are still there, perhaps wondering why your amorous hands are not scrunched around mine. It feels like a cycle; slowly failing to bypass enormous invisible daggers.

10 of the Strangest Things People Are Addicted To
10 of the Strangest Things People Are Addicted To Addiction is the obsessive need to carry on doing something despite the potential consequences. Every person is different, with their own preferences and dreams. Some people enjoy travelling, while others prefer to stay at home. We learn to get along through our likes and dislikes, regardless of whether we are introverts, extroverts, or somewhere in between. People have been known to become addicted to substances like narcotics, coffee, or even social media. However, you may tell someone about your daily need on coffee and it won't come out as embarrassing. Just picture meeting someone who claims to be addicted to drinking their own urine. Or another who would rather eat a piece of their brick wall than a pizza topped with pineapples grown on their lanai. Yes, these are the bizarre addictions that people have all across the world. Here is a list of some of the most bizarre substances to which people have become dependent.

Seeking, Releasing Relationships
Weekly essays this month sure seem to surround the topic of seeking and releasing relationships. A more savvy writer would say it is because September is my wedding anniversary month and this is a very strategic plan of mine. Alas I am not that savvy writer. Here is a photo of us celebrating this month though.

The Key To Life
Destiny: The rain poured harder than ever as I stood and watched in silence.How had it come to this? It seemed like only yesterday we were chasing each other on the endless fields as we laughed our hearts out but now, she was lying there, lonely and cold and lifeless I thought as I fought to hold back my tears. It was my fault. I should have been there when she needed me most. I could have stopped this, but I didn't. I let my fears get the best best of me, and now, well here I was.

A Letter to 15 Year Old Me: 15 Years Later. Top Story - December 2022.
Hi Kelsey, I realize that these types of exercises are usually for the purposes of attracting other readers for the sake of "relatability." You and I both know that we are only "relatable" to a minority of people. I know that you have always felt like an outsider, you were never given any clear answers as to why that is. You just know that whatever you were getting bullied for is a bullshit reason. Your classmates will make up EVERY excuse in the book as to why that was; they will claim ignorance, the stupidity of youth, whatever the excuse of the week happens to be.
