Sunday Bloody Sunday
They came from far and wide. Many walking, many sharing cars, others just finding a way forward. Mothers, sons, daughters, fathers, grandparents all. The outrage, the witnessed horror, the wounding and excruciating pain to the national soul on display. They marched to a place to mourn for their nation, to mourn for the fallen, they marched to Marrion Square Dublin. They were not alone, the outrage and anger everywhere: Cork, Galway, Sligo, Dundalk, Letterkenny, and over forty cities and towns large and small. The Irish soul was wounded that day, the love of a nation, the love of the fallen would be heard through an outpouring of love, anger, and patriotism.

William's Hoot Loop
William’s owls all turned to look at him at once. Gretchna, the youngest, and smallest one, dropped her dinner in her effort to put him back in her field of vision. The half-eaten sandwich vaporized as it hit the stone from the heat radiating off the floor in the center of the room. For 43 hours now they had all been waiting, stuffed in the cold and cramped room for this exact moment. Now that it was here, they were not about to miss it and have to wait another 25 years.

6 ways to rest in 2022
6 ways to rest in 2022 Many of us haven’t had the time to ourselves during 2021 including myself. I’m constantly working long hours on my feet and using my brain. Working longer hours than usual taking up more work than I should all because of companies being understaffed after quarantine. At the end of the day I am overwhelmed. Honestly, my work got me overworking to the point that I couldn’t rest in peace when I tried to sleep. I am afraid to oversleep, when I meditate I feel like I should be working. The point is I was not allowing myself to rest properly no matter if it was my day off and feeling constantly tired. This is not something I want to take to 2022 with me. So, I decided to make a new years resolution targeting my rest and ways I could rest during weekdays and on my days off. The 2022 is a year that I will be prioritizing my selfcare whether it is physical rest, emotional rest, spiritual rest, creative rest, mental rest, social rest or just to make myself feel good like massages. Therefore, I have done my research and picked 7 ways that I can rest during 2022. Although this is researched I personalize it to myself, now I know it will not resonate with everyone however, there are things that can work for just me, so I am sharing my 7 ways to rest in 2022.

New Year, New Priorities!
What can I say about the last two years that no one already knows? 2020 was a mess that we’re still dealing with while 2021 was a blur of disappointment, so, how should one treat this New Year? Should we press on with a negative or bleak outlook? Or should we have an open mind and try for a fresh start?

3:42 am Still Haunts Me
The Barn Owl? No, no, no, the Barred Owl. I can't tell you how many times I researched both, have listened to both calls to tell which one I had heard that night and had almost cried at the sound. And when I had found the YouTube video with the exact call that I had heard, I had never felt chills so violent or had cringed so hard at just the sound; as stupid as it may seem.

Choosing a mind-blowing niche is always a mind-twisting game for a writer
When a writer takes a path of writing, in the beginning, it is difficult for the writer to find a proper niche and get confused about what kind of topic should be chosen. The reason behind this difficulty is the interest of the writer. Every writer has their their perspective and thinking about different topics. The writer is trying to catch that niche in which the writer can deliver the maximum amount of data related to that niche. So, it's become a mind-twisting game for the writer for an eye-caching topic for the audience. Every platform has its demands about topics, sometimes a writer picks out of context niche for a platform that is not suitable for that platform to approve but it is not the mistake of a writer. As s writer, it is a logical point according to the thinking of the writer that every topic he or she chose has its point to express with different thoughts and views. By taking this thinking writer starts to write on the specific niches and unfortunately; when that niche does not gain much attention from the audience this makes the writer a little down and thus in this way the writer's mind gets disturbed. The writer all struggles and efforts also make his or her aggressive and hopeless.

I Can't
Today, I made a very hard decision: I'm leaving the HealthCare industry. It's not that I fell out of love with the work that's driven me for more than half my life. I do. I probably always will, and I hope there is some way for me to keep doing it.

The benefit of being bilingual in a global society
One of the benefits of being bilingual is that you can appreciate the art, religion, tradition, and history of the people who speak your second language. If you speak a different language, even if it is not related to your cultural identity, you may be exposed to other cultures. Fluency in a foreign language allows you to the mind and heart of other peoples and cultures. When you can talk to people in their language, you deepen connection and understanding, then doors open around the world, whether you're traveling in a foreign country or shopping at your local grocery store.

Day 1.
Day 1. I’m writing a book of a life exposed, telling all those in my past, present and perhaps even my future that I blamed you for me. You will be pictured raw and stark, along with me on these pages clear for all to see, though this is for me and I hope will not be seen by another living soul.
