The Time I Never Had
There are things you understand late, sometimes too late. Like the fact that I grew up long before I was old enough. Not by choice. Not to prove anything. Just because life pushed me there. In a few weeks, I will be 32. And yet, deep inside, something resists, something asks for the time I never had.

“It’s Not You, It’s Me!”
There comes a time in life when I look at the things I used to do, especially when I was much younger and wanted to get along with others. There were times when I went along with the routines, the invitations, and habits of others that no longer fit me. Theref0re, I am breaking up with those habits.

Love makes yourself blind not your friends
Sunday, 16 March 2025- Camille's House Sometimes during your lifetime, you are going to meet many people, meet many souls, I can tell, but one day you are going to meet someone that your heart beats for, someone who puts you in a trance, someone whose smile gives you not just energy but motivation to be a better person. I am a better person with him. I know he never would hurt me. Since I met him, I am glowing, I am feeling protected, feeling alive.

Silenced No More
Throughout history, the ability to speak freely has never been guaranteed. For centuries, voices have been suppressed by kings, governments, religions, and social systems determined to control what people think, believe, and say. Yet, despite censorship, punishment, and even death, individuals have continued to raise their voices. Their courage shaped societies, challenged injustice, and transformed the world. The story of free speech is not just about laws and rights—it is about human bravery, resistance, and the unbreakable desire to be heard.

When Speaking Up Was Dangerous
In today’s world, speaking out is often encouraged. We post opinions online, debate politics, and challenge authority with relative freedom. But history tells a darker story—one where words were weapons, and truth was a crime. There were eras when raising your voice meant risking imprisonment, torture, exile, or execution. When speaking up was dangerous, courage had a different meaning. It wasn’t about being heard—it was about surviving.

When My Mother Forgot My Name, But Not Me...
My mother... She always remembered everything about me. Everything like what cereal I loved, which shirt I hated, where I first crawled… all those things that even I never thought about. The little, ordinary details that somehow made up the fabric of my childhood.

The Fear of Being Seen
Introduction The fear of being seen is something many of us carry quietly. It hides behind our smiles, our silence, and the carefully curated versions of ourselves we present to the world. We want connection, yet we dread exposure. We long to be understood, but we fear judgment. This inner conflict shapes our choices, our relationships, and even our dreams.

I Was a Good Kid. Really I Was!
I was a good kid growing up. Well, for the most part. As I reminisce on my childhood, I honestly can’t recall doing anything that got me into trouble or scolded for. Of course, ask my parents and they might tell you a completely different story.

Childhood Confession: I Was Afraid of Something So Silly
Most of us were afraid of something when we were little. A lot of times, that fear was common, like that monster in the closet that you always had your parents check for or that chair with a pile of clothes on it that looked like a a witch or some for creature as soon as you turn the lights out.

Rebels with a Cause
Throughout history, progress has never come easily. Every right we enjoy, every freedom we celebrate, and every injustice we condemn today was once defended by brave individuals who dared to speak up when silence felt safer. These were not rebels for chaos — they were rebels with a cause. Their voices cut through fear, challenged authority, and reshaped the world. While many faced punishment, exile, or even death, they proved one timeless truth: real change begins when someone refuses to stay quiet.
