When I started in 2019, I felt as if I have found a gold mine. Now found four years have passed, and my life is a lot different than it was before. If someone had told me in the last three years I would have gotten divorced, lost my home, moved across the country twice,…

March Goals
I swear it feels like I’m still waiting for 2020 to start. But it’s March again, so welcome all ye kindred spirits. Lately, I have been terrible at being a consistent writer; it’s not that I lack motivation, but more so that I lack the need to keep going. I know, I know, you’re going…
Boston’s Gale Thinks Very Little of My Winter Coat
The wind whips through the trees as they bend at an uncertain angle. Trees were never meant to bend like that, and yet they do. It must have been the evolution of the trees that allows them to adjust so much to the disrespect of Boston’s wind. I never knew trees could bend like that…

There are so many people going into stores to do nothing more than panic buy, causing a wave of hysteria and wasting the food they hoarded…
Rocks On Riverbeds And Tumbling Shores
When I was younger, we used to go down to the riverside and skip rocks. My siblings, and sometimes, a myriad of cousins would join us all yelling and run at full speed along the dirt road. We would often forget our shoes, small children practicing small acts of defiance against their parents. We were…
Sunday is International Women’s Day? Heck Yeah!
It is International Women’s Day all around the world today, and I am happy! I love celebrating people and their achievements; it makes me happy when they overcome their obstacles. So what should we do? How do you celebrate the women in your life? Obviously, I don’t mean the people who have mistreated you or…
March On: March Goals and Hopes
A new month has begun with its hopes and dreams; I find myself looking on as an observer, rather than one who participates in such action. In simpler terms, I have watched the people around me grow and evolve, while I poke the world with my stick and complain. Yes, it is cold, and there…
