Hardships of a writer
Since I am a writer officially in 2019 all that has been happening is just hardships and moments of pure hardom where in time all seems lost and so wrong. "Be consistent and work hard. They say. But I have been working hard and doing all that with no results at all. I am publishing around in KDP and it helped me in nothing at all, no matter if you change the words, improve the quality of the manuscript and the cover. It's so hard nowadays to be a simple writer in this world and honestly no one care less if fall down in the depths of the algorithms that Amazon did just bring those works that only a certain number of people wants to read, besides millions of books are published every day and it falls down the big hole, no matter how hard the work was. That's the dark side of KDP and other self publishing platforms. Because of this many traditional publishers either they have to close and file bankruptcy or increase the prices of the publishing to survive other winter. Some, still won't. Tons of people self publish now that brings that paradox that we all have been feeling since that Amazon launched first CrativeSpace and then, KDP. Other platforms open also to bring competition to Amazon. And thing escalated pretty fast after that. Now, many writers like me the because of that. And many are unable to escape the stagnation of publishing, when there is too much to offer and too few people who have the the power to buy. It's a sad moment and this will bring a new crash but for all book industry. Since I am a writer officially in 2019 all that has been happening is just hardships and moments o...I

Looking at nature
In the tranquil embrace of nature, something profound happens. As we gaze upon the natural world, our minds begin to dance with a curious enchantment, and we fall under the spell of its beauty and complexity. It's a phenomenon as old as humanity itself, where the mind, in its infinite capacity, weaves illusions that both captivate and transform our perception of reality.

Shadows of the Past: The Final Chapter
Chapter 05: The Truth Unveiled I spent my entire childhood wondering: why my parents didn’t stay together and why I couldn’t live with both of them in the same house? I had to live separately, with my mom in one place and my dad in another. Even after my grandma passed away, my dad never returned. This question always haunted me. Whenever there were parent-teacher meetings at my school, parent-teacher meetings at school, I saw my friends’ parents coming together, both moms and dads. But during my school years, my dad and mom never came together. I only saw them together for the first three years of my childhood, and after that, they were never together. I grew up in this situation, never having the chance to live with both of them in one home. As I grew older, I began to understand the situation. My mom and some family members explained everything to me because I had become old enough to comprehend. They answered the questions I had been asking since childhood. When my aunt was 16 years old, my maternal grandparents, meaning my mom’s parents, passed away. There was no one to take care of her, so my mom brought her to live with us. My mom made sure she got admission and educated her through college. When my aunt turned 23, something happened that I’m not entirely sure about, but somehow, my father and my aunt started liking each other. They both fell in love. One day, they made a plan to secretly leave the house and get married in court. They left without telling anyone, and my dad sent divorce papers to my mom. That’s my story. Until now, I’ve never shared it with anyone, not even my best friends, because I believed that when you share something like this, people tend to judge you negatively. They make assumptions about your family and past and may say hurtful things. But when I heard about Vocal Media, I felt it was a platform where people could understand and not judge my story. I’m thankful to Vocal Media for providing me with a space to share my story, and I’m grateful to all of you who read and understood it. I appreciate you all. Regards, Sapphira. Author: I and all of you have heard Sapphira’s story. Thank you to everyone who read and understood Sapphira’s story. Sapphira is undoubtedly a very strong young woman. She has faced and suffered so much at the age of 20 that perhaps we might not understand even when we reach the age of 50. May God keep Sapphira strong like this, bless her with happiness, and may it never be the case for anyone else to face what Sapphira has gone through. After listening to the whole story, I can't help but wonder if Sapphira's father ever considered how his actions would impact his daughter and leave her traumatized for life. Did her aunt ever think about her sister who supported her during difficult times, offered her support, and made every possible effort to educate her so she wouldn't remain ignorant? What did Sapphira's mother receive in return for all the effort she put in alongside her younger sister? Betrayal? Pain? Tears? How can someone be so selfish? Have they ever regretted what they did, realizing that they shouldn't have done those things? Can someone be content while causing pain, suffering, and tears to another person's life? The world operates on the principle: what yo do today will come back to you tomorrow, so why don't people think before doing something wrong to others? What are your thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments. And if you like my small effort to raise awareness, don't forget to like and subscribe.
