Recognise Your Own Existence
Recognise Your Own Existence Your greatest strength lies in recognising your own existence. At times, life may feel overwhelming. You might wonder, "Can I really achieve anything significant?" Circumstances may seem unfavourable, challenges unending, and the weight of responsibilities unbearable. You may feel powerless against the adversities you face. But these thoughts are often illusions—tricks of the mind. Within your existence lies all the strength you need to overcome any obstacle life throws your way.

Word of the Day: 施設
I just got back to my mom's home from Cedar Hills again. Unlike jail or other times I was in there, I didn't really keep a journal because my glasses broke and I didn't go in there with my contacts. So I was essentially blind most of the time.

My Vocal "Jealousy"
Introduction I don't do "jealousy" or "stress" but I do like things to be right and fair, not just for me but for everyone. Part of the reasons for this is addressed in this piece of mine, which ironically got a Top Story from "Vocal".

Hello Loneliness
A lot of the time, whenever its writing whether privately or on here (through my sister’s page with her ”Dear Phoenix” letters) I use lyrics from songs to better express how I’m feeling. I’ll credit the song at the end of the article if you want to listen to the song. Warning, it is a sad song. I had my port for chemotherapy installed yesterday and I rate it a -10/10. I’ll do another article on the port and the full experience. But it’s finally settled. However I cannot lift anything over ten pounds for seven days. Which is killing me because I miss my godbabies and being able to do silly things with them. The youngest is two and he doesn’t understand that he can’t waller all over auntie. When he asks for me to pick him up I just want to cry. Cancer is messed up and it makes you feel entirely alone in a room full of love and support.

'ARTS NOT FARTS". Content Warning.
This story was written to create a scenario of life that is not perfect, but my glass is half full. This story is written as a reflection of how gaslighting folks is not cool. I did not write it out of anger or fear or hate, I wrote it out of love for humanity. I author stories, create songs to hopefully help someone along the way. I worked in nursing off and on in my life from 1969 to 2000. At the same time, I was taking care of people, I was attending college in Business, Journalism, and art.

Understanding Others Is Impossible Without Understanding Yourself
Understanding Others Is Impossible Without Understanding Yourself In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we interact with countless individuals, sharing ideas, expressing emotions, and exchanging thoughts. But have you ever paused to consider the key to truly understanding others—their struggles, joys, and situations? The answer lies within ourselves: the ability to understand others stems from first understanding oneself. We often fail to grasp our inner thoughts, emotions, and circumstances, making it incredibly challenging to empathise with others.

And Just Like That, 2024 Is Done
As I wrote this piece, the year 2024 of our common era was about to end. The bells were going to chime, the calendars were changing, and people around the world planned on staying up until midnight to mark the start of 2025. We’re now heading into the middle of the 2020s already.

Love Yourself: The Greatest Task of Your Life
Love Yourself: The Greatest Task of Your Life Your life is a beautiful story where you are the protagonist. However, in the hustle of fulfilling responsibilities and meeting the expectations of others, we often lose sight of ourselves. In this endless race, our feelings, joys, and needs take a backseat. Do you ever pause and ask yourself, “Am I truly happy?” For most of us, this question doesn’t find its way into our busy lives, let alone its answer. This realisation reveals a harsh truth — we’ve forgotten who we truly are.

The Sacrifice of Blood and Love
The Price of Redemption The scent of iron clung to the air, mingling with the faint aroma of damp earth. The full moon bathed the ancient stone altar in an eerie glow, casting long shadows that danced like restless spirits in the flickering torchlight. Lila stood at the edge of the clearing, her heart pounding as the cloaked figures chanted in a language older than memory. She wasn’t supposed to be here. This was not her world. Yet, here she was, tethered by a love she could not abandon.
