I don’t remember how we began,But I remember the first time I saw you—I truly saw you.You stood there in your skin,With a spark in your eyes,A life within life itself.It feels different when you’re intentional,When the version of you I love shines through.But my heart shatters every timeYou chang...

I am satisfied.In a lighted room where candles are all around me and the smell of scented rose is all I perceive.I am satisfied with gushing water and rainy sounds coming from the TV while I sip my red wine.Today, I wore red, a colour painted across a screeching world.When everything crumbles, I ...

How is your 2024 going? I am discovering life in bits and pieces. I have learned to theme my life, summarizing what happens in the years, months, weeks, and days. I give my year a good name and a good name for different phases in my life; I then trust God accordingly for better ones even as...

That God in...

According to GoodTherapy, Guilt is an emotion that relates to a person’s sense of right a...
