A space where language softens and breathes. This poetry section gathers moments both tender and raw — reflections on love, memory, womanhood, longing, and the quiet magic hidden in ordinary days. Each piece is crafted to linger, to stir something familiar, and to leave you feeling a little more seen, a little more understood.

What do you do when someone’s struggling so badly but refuses the help? i’ve struggled with this question for awhile and i dont have the back bone to continue relationships with the people who choose not to get better. to much grief and anxiety watching people make the decisions they do. if only there was ways to help more then just trying to motivate them to get the help they need.
A safe place for beautiful beings to be heard asthey tell their stories. I personally would love to hear people's poetry about their life's testimony and Jesus's hand in it. However, any stories are welcome and we look forward to reading them.
To flirt with and court a black woman, you must treat her as an individual, not a monolith, by focusing on genuine connection, respect and shared interests. Avoid fetishizing or focusing solely on race. Build rapport through attentive listening, polite, confident and direct communication.
A place to explore, embrace, express your uniqueness and always be you!
Poetry made by me Thoughts and feelings into words
A stream where I turn passing thoughts into meaningful short stories
“The Memoirs of Levy”, A series of parts I, II and III. The series is a collection of fictional poetry that consists of poems, narratives and daydreams of the life and experiences of Ms. Daila Brie Levy. The collection relays fictional aspects with some collaboration of the real life non-fiction stories of the writer. A mix of fiction, non-fiction, love, and fantasy.
A running collection of short, clear notes on the hardest questions in origins research. Focus: abiogenesis (life from non-life) and macro-evolution (new body plans, new organs, and molecule-to-man transitions). No appeals to authority. No storytelling disguised as evidence. Only what has actually been observed, repeated, and falsified in the lab or the honest admission when it has not. Data first. The burden of proof stays where it belongs.

What a Mess. Political satire hidden within actual news and life lessons.
Read more from What A Mess (News and Opinion)Let's get one thing straight: Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. This is not up for debate.
If there was ever a way to publicly humiliate an allied leader—one who is literally fighting for his country’s survival—Trump and his administration managed to find it.
While unprecedented, the legal and diplomatic basis for this approach is intriguing. This bold move could offer Ukraine several major advantages...

Read more from Poems from the Garden WellSome days my dreams scare the living soul out of me, and some nights I can't wish away. To be privileged in a long traveled village with no scams and no shacks; to be a aging black woman in a beautiful castle with nothing but the world to lack.
The heart of a canopy lives inside of an imagination that a mind couldn’t find. We’ve got it all figured out, when we’re dressed in a suit and tie and nearly 6 ft deep.

Losing something that made you whole, unapologetic, and happy is now gone and you love life wondering if you'll ever get it back
Few video games have shaped modern gaming culture the way Minecraft has. Since its official release in 2011, the block-building sandbox has become one of the best-selling and most influential games of all time. Developed by Markus Persson (also known as “Notch”) and later acquired by Microsoft in 2014, Minecraft continues to evolve with regular updates and a massive global community.
Why do Atheists and Materialists always run away? TJ Berens either asked or answered this question on Quora. “What evidence establishes the human-chimp divergence date, what generation time applies to the hominin lineage, and what total number of generations T do those two values produce? TJ is an Aerospace Defense Consultant.
Cultural Sociologist, Institute for Urban Culture “The rise in feminine visibility isn’t just about fashion. It’s about a generational renegotiation of masculinity. Our 2026 data indicates that over 60% of young Polish men have experimented with gender-nonconforming elements in style. That’s historically unprecedented in this country.”

Read more from Cycles of Reflection"Key-Kee!" Nadine echoed, her tiny hands gripping the floor as she crawled forward, her voice bubbling with excitement. "No, it is Kit-Ty," Harold corrected, shaking his head. "She says it wrong. She is still a baby," Elise said gently. "Meow, meow… meowww," Nadine mimicked the family cat, her tiny frame wiggling like a kitten in play. Eli dropped to his hands and knees beside her. "Meowww!" he exaggerated, scrunching his nose and wiggling his fingers like whiskers. "Ugh, this is ridiculous," Harold groaned. As Nadine moved, the soft fur of her costume brushed against her arms, keeping her warm against the cool fall air. She did not know it yet, but this was something she would carry forever. Her orange-striped costume tail flicked behind her. It was her first Halloween, the night she would start transforming into something more. Later, as shadows stretched across the walls, she whispered her first sign of something greater. "Here, Key-Kee."
"The melody of ‘Jesus Loves the Little Children’ drifted through the quiet church, each note steady beneath Yara’s fingertips. No one noticed how her back stiffened, how her breath caught just slightly before she pressed forward, playing through the sharp waves of pain. The music continued, but time itself seemed to slow. It wasn’t time. Not yet."

"Finally made it to Bilbao! A personal travel story and guide to the best of this Basque city. Discover Casco Viejo, pintxos, the Guggenheim, and hidden gems in the heart of northern Spain." You know the feeling when you keep telling yourself, “I have to go there”? Somehow, you just… never do. That was me with Bilbao. For years. It kept popping up on my list, quietly sitting there, waiting. But this time, I finally did it. I went to the north of Spain, to the heart of the Basque Country. I discovered a city that completely surprised me.

150 scripts. That’s my challenge—to read and analyze each one to uncover what makes a story unforgettable, from the big ideas to the small details. Along the way, I’ll break down story elements, share my discoveries, and reflect on the lessons I learn. Ready to join me on this journey?
Read more from 150 Script JourneyReleased in 1982, Blade Runner has solidified itself as one of the most influential films in the sci-fi genre. Inspired by Philip K. Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film challenges the audience with timeless questions about what it means to be human. It delves into the complexities of identity and explores the consequences of artificial life in a profoundly relevant way today.
Hello. My name is Dr. AY Heath; you can call me Angel. I'm here to chronicle a big goal for myself. And trust me, it is a very big goal. So what is this big goal. I’m going to read and break down 150 film scripts. That does sound like a lot, but it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a while and, after stepping away from my corporate job, I dove into film school and have been diving deep into the process of storytelling. But I want to do more than just learn technical skills; I want to understand what works and doesn't and see where we're in this big filmmaking industry.
There's a pattern consisting of these assassination attempts, pointing to staged attempts. It also leads to a dark viewpoint of murderous intent on part of the government agencies involved. These gun men were tricked into staging a failed assassination attempt, but didn't know they were setting themselves up to be killed. But the agents knew.
Sometimes wisdom comes from the most unexpected places. In this reflection, I explore how even people we disapprove of—or might instinctively condemn—can offer valuable insights about accountability, truth, and personal responsibility. The story highlights the importance of separating the messenger from the message: listen carefully, reflect, and act wisely, no matter the source.
Everyone moves at a different pace. Some people win early. Some people struggle first. Some people look like they have it all figured out. Most don’t. If you feel behind in life right now, you’re not. You’re learning. You’re growing. You’re becoming stronger in ways nobody can see yet. The late nights. The quiet improvements. The small wins no one claps for. That’s building season. Stop comparing your chapter one to someone else’s chapter twenty. Your timeline is yours for a reason. Keep going. Keep improving. Keep believing. One day the same people who doubted you will call it “luck.” It wasn’t luck. It was consistency.
