For many individuals, the decision to marry is deeply personal, influenced by their upbringing, experiences, and fears.

The Cat on the Wire: A Tale of Commotion and Compassion. Content Warning.
Everyone was glancing up and congregating in the area. When I arrived, the agitation had reached a fever pitch. I asked one of the people that was there already what was going on. He expressed his deafness and muteness in sign language. I apologised, using my minimal amount of sign language—roughly 0. I continued to glance up, but my weak eyesight prevented me from seeing what everyone was fixated on. I then asked a different person. Pardon me... She turned her back on me as if I were a leprechaun. Well, I thought, that's two for two. I decided to ask this old timer and see if I could get any luck.

cold.. Content Warning.
Cold; like the pain I seemed to recognize, hidden deep beneath her eyes. I wish I would have known then, this world was bound to be so cold; I would have taken her with me.. or bought a ticket to go with. I still vividly remember the beauty in day our souls collided- Cold whistled all around us, brutal winds piercing at our skin, still we never broke to a shiver; all the ever-burning love our souls founded in one another, swaddled us much blanket like. Somehow after all not even five thousand degrees of burning love could protect from the crucifying cold.
