Last December, my mom passed away after a year-long battle with brain cancer. She had been mentally deteriorating prior, first in May with a sudden "mini-stroke" and then a coma in December two weeks before her passing. It was absolutely painful to see the gradual decline of her health throughout much of 2019, which made …

Hello, all. Today is Mother's Day in the United States, and this year, I am kind of at a loss of what I should do, let alone feel, in celebrating this holiday reserved for maternal figures, whether biological or not. There's a lot of conflicting emotions associated with it all, which hadn't been the case …
Hey, folks! Not long ago, I had flashbacks to times not too long ago when I was being useless. What do I mean by that? In other words, it refers to being involved in a situation in which I am talking to someone who *romantically* likes me and has given plenty of hints expressing that …

Lydia and Jasmine were left alone in the living room. …
Greetings! Today is the day of Love, and for many people in the world, it's the time to celebrate romance with their significant other. For those who don't have a partner, they half-jokingly refer to Valentine's Day as "SAD," or Single Awareness Day. Cheeky answer, to say the least. Really, Valentine's Day has become just …

Suddenly, the servant girl stopped as they were walking, squeezed her hand tightly and before Lydia knew what was happening, pulled them off the marked path and behind one of the trees nearby. “Wha—,” she started, caught off-guard. Jasmine pressed her against the tree trunk, looking straight into her eyes with an urgent expression. An …
After Hannah had also changed and grabbed her purse, the three girls left the homestead for an hour’s walk into town. They passed through neighboring farms, where several cattle and sheep still roamed, despite the slight, November chill. Lydia could see the rolling hills in the distance behind the town, often obscured by fog. “I …
