The Complexities of Co-Dependency
Have you ever met a person who couldn't do the simplest of tasks on their own? That person might even be you. There is always a deeper understanding of things like introverts, extroverts, the ego, etc., within society. The idea that someone doesn't like to be surrounded by noise isn't too uncommon. Just like the idea that an individual is their best drowning in a sea of people. Sometimes, you can struggle with an entirely different aspect of self. One that might even make you lose your own. Co-dependency.

"The Interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud: A Journey into the Unconscious Mind
"The Interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud: A Journey into the Unconscious Mind "The Interpretation of Dreams" is not just a book; it is the foundation of modern psychology and a journey into the mysterious world of the unconscious. First published in 1899, this book revolutionized our understanding of dreams. Dreams are no longer seen as random or meaningless images; instead, they are glimpses into our hidden desires, fears, and experiences. Freud's writing is a blend of science, philosophy, and personal discovery. This book explains how dreams are formed, their connection to the unconscious mind, and how they reveal hidden truths through symbols. Although it can be challenging, for those interested in understanding the human mind, it is a feast for the intellect.

The Peace Within Accountability
There is peace in accountability. If you’d met me several years ago, you couldn’t have paid me to admit that. The truth is, several years ago, I myself was oblivious to this notion. I’d been in conflict after conflict and not one time had I come out on the bottom of it, even if I truly had. If I said it was so, you couldn’t convince me otherwise. And oh, honey I would die on that hill. There was something powerful about lacking any control for much of my life, eventually learning that I can build my own narrative beautifully crafted in any way that I want. What did I want? Control. How did I get it? By being right. Ultimately, I spent over twenty seven of the twenty-eight years on this Earth failing at what I now know as gaslighting. Crafting weak fairytales in a vain attempt to keep what little control I had over my life.

Nail-Dust
When you walk into a nail salon, you expect beauty, relaxation, and maybe even a little glam. But there's something hiding in the air that most people don't think about—nail dust. It’s the fine powder produced during filing, buffing, or using electric drills on acrylics, gels, or natural nails. It may look harmless, but this dust is more than just a mess. It’s a hidden health risk for both nail technicians and clients alike.

The Sewing Box
The box had been there for years — untouched, unspoken, and always in the same corner of Nana’s old attic. Covered in lace that had long since yellowed, it waited like a quiet witness. When Nana passed away that winter, I returned home after seven years to settle her affairs — not entirely ready for what I would find.
