Sometimes you just have to turn the page to realize there's more to your book of life than the page you're stuck on. Stop being afraid to move on. Close this chapter of hurt, and never re-read it. It's time to get what your life deserves, and move on from the things that don't deserve you. Don't try to fix what's been broken in your past, let your future create something...

Up To You

The college I attended as a young man was a collection of beautiful, red brick buildings built along the side of a hill. At the bottom of the hill was the closest town.

For those who had been drinking at the town bars it often led to many slips and falls as they stumbled up the slick...

Tree

By Ankita Siddiqui on October 21, 2015 / 3,855 views

The tree grounded in the soil roots going deeper, entangled in each other snuggling in earth's lap. Seasons change, Spring to Summer Monsoon to Autumn, shed leaves everywhere, golden hue carpet, speaking its stories of times and storms. Slowly, paving way for cold, stark Winter. The tree has...

Empty Inside

By Kay on October 19, 2015 / 6,174 views

Have you ever felt empty inside, like there was a hole in your soul? For most of my adult life, I did. It didn't matter what I'd do or what new thing I'd try after the newness wore off and the excitement was gone, I still felt like something was missing. I can't say I had this feeling constantly, but it would come often enough for me to know that there was something that just was not right....

Yesterday, I was lying on the ground outside on my driveway with my 6 month-old daughter. There was a calm breeze and beautiful blue skies. I usually take my phone everywhere with me, but I left it inside. There were no distractions. As I held my daughter on my lap, I felt so at peace watching the beautiful world around me. I watched birds gliding high in the sky, while others chirped nearby. For...

By Debbie on October 13, 2015 / 5,871 views

My husband and I are poor. The assumption most people make is that we're stupid, some even say it openly. We've both just had sh*t luck and are working to improve our situation. I'm not sure of my real age, when my parents and came to America they modified my birth certificate. I'm somewhere between the ages of 22 to 25. Legally 22 but everything points to me being older. My social...
