The 2 am thoughts of a middle aged...southern wife
She’s a middle-aged Southern woman with a heart full of stories and a head full of 2 a.m. thoughts. Menopausal, married, and managing more than her fair share, she writes from the trenches of caretaking, womanhood, and midlife reinvention. Her blog is a porchlight for the weary and wise—equal parts sass, soul, and survival. Whether she’s ranting about hot flashes, reflecting on marriage, or finding grace in the chaos, she tells it like it is: candid, unfiltered, and fiercely tender.

Recovery is FUCKING HARD
Let's be blatantly honest, RECOVERY is FUCKING HARD! This channel is not for the meek, mild, or faint of heart. THIS IS REAL. This is my journey down the bumpy-ass road to recovery, and I'm here to get down to the nitty-gritty truth of a real recovering addict. I want to share all my up's and down's with the fellow addict who still suffers...to remind you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! Addiction is real, and it's hard... REALLY FUCKING HARD. I'm taking my power back. Who's coming with me?

New Writer? Me too!
Hello, My name is Mitch I am a 39 year old father of 3 girls, and I am a new writer. I'm writing this for my first stream to introduce myself, and tell you about my channel and what you can expect. My posts on here will be a mix of fictional horror/thriller/mystery stories, and posts describing my journey as I start off writing. Writing has always been something I thought I would be good at doing. I have just never put any energy into trying it, even though I've always had what I thought are great ideas for stories. I finally am in a spot where I can give it a try.

150 Scripts: A Journey into the Heart of Filmmaking
Dr. AY Heath Dec 23, 2024
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.

Victimized by my own black
Jahnae Nelson Sep 13, 2025
You can cry alone and shout at the moon, but what’s it to ya? A victim is short of a victory, if he doesn’t choose it. Instead of crying until you fall asleep, profess it in a dream.

Key-Kee Catdine
"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."

Born Between Two Days
"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."

“Time After Time Again”
This poem was written while I was going from in & out of mental hospitals. It was a real life struggle to deal with. And I'm hoping some of you might actually stay to read it.
The Definition of Love
Love is the most beautiful, hurtful, stupid, fun, amazing, crazy, happy, sad thing you can ever experience.
She's A Psycho!
My brain is my own very personal hell. LET ME OUT! Anxiety and depression and mania! OH MY!!!!!!!!!!
When the Body Stayed and I Disappeared
This essay is about the moment I ceased being recognized as a person in a medical setting, and the deeper spiritual wound of disappearing inside my own body. It explores erasure not as physical suffering, but as the quiet dismantling of identity — the uninhabiting of the self. The story lives in absence first, then traces the return of personhood through belonging and divine naming.This is a story about what it means to vanish in plain sight — and the moment God returned me to myself.

"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.

Blade Runner - Script #1: A Deep Dive into Humanity, Morality, and Identity Dr. AY Heath Dec 24, 2024
Released 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.
