Three Little Words
There are many people who believe that the three most powerful words in the English language are “ I love you.” There was a time, to be sure when that may have been the case. When our parents said it, it was a lifetime commitment to each other (assuming the other person said it back and followed through.) It usually meant marriage and family. It meant supporting each other for a lifetime. Now it means getting a rose on a game show. Actually the rose may be bad, you’d have to watch the show to be sure and that, frankly, seems like to high a price to pay.

An Argument Against Returning To The Office
In the last couple of months, I have read article after article espousing the glorious return to offices around the world. They talk of all the ailments that people working from home supposedly suffer. These include decreased social interaction, feelings of loneliness, isolation, additional stress, and lack of work-life balance. So, while all of those are entirely valid for certain people, they are not a blanket in the way they are being portrayed. They apply especially to people who have kids, live alone, or are more dependent on office the office to supply their social interaction. In my experience, this seems to apply more to older generations who have grown accustomed to being in an office. So, while these can be true, I think that it’s not fair to ignore younger employees who might have an entirely different outlook. I am just over 30, and for me, a return to the office sounds about as much fun as being waterboarded, and I’ll tell you why.

Four Lost Years, and More to Come
Sometimes, when I look back on the night it happened I see only fleeting memories, simple glimpses of the past… a deceased insect, a chilling atmosphere, her choppy blonde hair, my petite frame, her singular breast, my internal struggle to not hurt those who are hurt. What if I made it all up? What if she was right? What if I really am a liar?

How To Start a Business, The Wrong Way
I started an Etsy shop on May 5, 2021. I was exclusively selling tarot readings, delivered by email. I was really proud of my small little shop - I had made the logo myself and created every aspect of my business, so it was a cool thing.

Panhandling is a job. Here's what it pays
People who panhandle take it very seriously. Especially the ones who are good at it. Many consider it a full-time job. I know this because I experienced homelessness in 2019 and knew lots of people who panhandled. I never did it. Not once. I did not have the guts.

Socially Naked
Naked, exposed, and defenseless. This is something that hardly anyone has ever been comfortable with. To expose your true self to someone else, pure horror. Like a living nightmare we have struggled to allow people to see who we truly are. On some level, everyone at some point in their life struggles with this. It means we admit to a certain kind of vulnerability.

The Urge
Writing. Stories. Characters. Thoughts. Words. The Urge. You can feel it seething inside. Where does it come from? Is it primordial? Instinctive or intuitive? It’s almost like a reflex or a drug. The more you do it the more you want to do it and you can’t stop! As long as you’re writing something down, the beast is tamed.

Hi, my name is Sierra. I normally go by C. I thought it would be a good idea to let you know a little bit about myself. Firstly, if you haven't yet seen the giant blown-up faces on my banner yet - that's me and my ex-fiance. He was the light of my life. We split over six years ago.
