The Words Of Gold

There was this poem we were discussing in class, something about the words of gold.

We only mentioned it as an example, but it still stuck withContinueContinue reading “The Words Of Gold”

Christmas 2023: No Lights in Bethlehem

Where I’m from, when we lose a loved one and are in mourning, we don’t decorate for Christmas. We don’t put up a tree, and we don’t play any music.

Love Is A Driving Force

Anyone who knows me has heard me at least once proclaim my suspicion toward love. So, naturally, when a book called All About Love crossed my path, I had to know: what is there to say about this phenomenon? A Fairy Tale Love is something that is.
