Where two paths meet
June 13, 2026 I was already walking a roadI never intended to travel. Carrying old hopes,old questions,old longings that trailed behind melike shadows stretched thin beneath a setting sun. My eyes were fixed on a distant horizon,certain I understood where the road would end.Certain I knew the meaning of every twist,every detour,every unanswered silence. And…

The Things I Wish You Knew
June 12, 2026 One day, perhaps,the world will grow quiet enoughfor you to see me clearly. Not the version of methat exists between hurried conversations,stolen moments,or half-finished stories. The real me. The woman who noticesthe things others overlook. The way your mind never stops searching,always building,always questioning. The kindness you hide behind humor.The softness you…

The Devil Reached Her
She was not taken in some violent moment.No thunder split the heavens.No crimson omen bled across the sky. She disappeared quietly-through the aching hunger to be chosenby hands that only ever reached halfway.Through accepting confusionbecause even confusion felt warmerthan the loneliness echoing through her hollowed ribs. She opened her heart freely,pouring herself into thosewho drank…
