Challenge
On letting go
On letting go I am the heaven and the earth, the life and death, of existence and wandering in the magnanimous horizons of heavenly amour, I am love and I am light. Of all the endearments of life, I choose to be liberated. What does eternal and absolute liberation mean, does it mean galloping in the chaos with unadulterated joy and not being attached to the situational stance of impermanence. Or does it mean not being held captive by the dungeons of our own mind, of meeting every new space, entity, time, person and circumstance with the newness of infancy? How do we define a life well lived, an existence strided with unleashed and unparalleled love of what we are in every stance of our time spent on this mortal earth? I guess no one can answer that. The question lies in the subjectivity of the dearth of pain and the depths of the learnings that one’s life strides them through. In every breath that we take, in every commotion we indulge and in every space that confines us with another individual, life enamors a myriad of choices that consciously or subconsciously embrace that leads us to the life we live.

Rose's Journal
May 15, 1940 Today, a deep anger awoke, a call to break away from merely represent a décor at my spouse’s arm. Sun seeped through our plush drapes, yet shadows clung to my desk where words took form under my pen. On roads, banners of Thomas Dewey were hung, the face of a man who advocates for change. My peers mocked, for them a woman’s realm stuck to home, to afternoon teas, not to places where futures are shaped.

No, No, Nonet
Introduction This is just a piece on my attitude to the current Vocal Breakup Nonet Challenge. People may come in thinking it is another Nonet, but they will be doubly disappointed because it's not a poem, and it's written by me (no I know that is a plus).

how to learn anything. AI-Generated.
Hello everyone. Two years ago, my life changed completely. My wife Kelsey and I were blessed with the arrival of our daughter Lela. Becoming a parent is an incredible journey. Overnight, your entire world shifts, and your priorities change drastically. It can be overwhelming at times, trying to process everything that comes with parenthood. For instance, learning how to dress your child – that was a new experience for me! I once thought an outfit was a good idea, but even Lela disagreed with that (laughter). There's so much to learn and adapt to all at once.

Finding Focus in a World of Distractions
A few years ago, I began to observe something in my own behavior that made me uncomfortable. From the moment I woke up until the end of the day, my life was a series of screens. I started my day with my phone, watching cooking videos on Instagram and bouncing between apps. Then, while cooking breakfast, I focused on my iPad next to the oven. My work involved multiple screens, and my smartwatch constantly beeped and distracted me. But the worst offender was my phone. I could waste hours on it every day. So, I decided to limit my phone use to just 30 minutes a day for a month as an experiment.

We Can't Make People Read Our Work
Introduction This is more observations about our creations on Vocal. I am reasonably prolific and I certainly don't expect anyone to read all or even part of my work, but we all want a little recognition to confirm that we are moving in the right direction. I try to comment as much as I can to let people know that I have read their story and sometimes I find I am the only one in there, and think "Why has nobody else read this" and then if I have the option I share in one or more of the Facebook Groups.

You Are A Badass
You Are a Badass Deck: Use your secret weapons — Make a playlist of songs that gets you pumped up, listen to a motivational podcast, surround yourself with pictures of people who think you’re awesome, wear clothes that make you feel sexy and smart, dance, scream, pound your chest, go for a run while listening to the theme from Rocky — figure out what makes you feel like you could carry a horse over your head and do it as often as possible.

A stormy night
Hello fellow readers, I'm very new to writing. I wanted to challenge myself with something new so I used a writing prompt with limited time (20 mins). I finished the writing on time but spent way more than 20 mins for editing and revising as I'm not a English native speaker. If by any chance you stumble upon my writing, welcome! Please kindly let me know what you think and what I can improve.
