Autumn's Canvas 🍂
While other seasons boast bold brilliances, autumn is painted in subtle strokes of wonder. It's the gentle exhale between summer's feverish last gasps and winter's bitter first bites. Autumn is a watercolor wash of nostalgia, best appreciated in its details.

A late diagnosis of Bipolar Affective Disorder 1 (Ralid Cycling) is not rare. I was 47. I am now 51. That is a statement. But of course there is much more to it. It's a fascinating condition. But I could do without it.

Read This If You Want To Change Your Attitude Towards Drinking
“Warning: when feelings become the means of thinking, or if we cannot think greater than how we feel, we can never change. To change is to think greater than how we feel. To change is to act greater than the familiar feelings of the memorized self.”

All Grown Up. Content Warning.
He was young my science teacher. It was love or so I thought. He taught me how to be passionate and how to stick out when you aren't very confident. Now he's on a list of adults not to trust. I don't know why knew him that much. I don't actually remember anything I was supposed to learn in science during those years. But loves a pretty fickle creature that's the lesson I was taught. I pretended I adjusted, as the silence ate away. I told someone I thought I trusted, but she didn't even wait a day. This was not supposed to happen not today and not to me. Now it's little lies and Big decisions, Who to tell and where to go. Follow someone else's vision or trust my own cause I don't know. it's bittersweet to think about the damage that we'd do. Cause I was going down but I was doing it with him. Was I stupid to love him? Reckless to want to help? was it obvious to everyone else? He was never on my side. There's things I want to tell everyone but I'll just let it be.

Racing Against Time
In the year 2023, a small coastal town named Havenbrook thrived on its serene beauty and close-knit community. Its streets were lined with quaint cottages, and the sound of seagulls filled the air as fishermen set sail every morning. Life was simple, and people had always taken pride in their ability to support one another.
