 Hey Gamers, The fireworks have gone out with a bang. They've lit the night sky with all the colours of possibility. 2025 comes with a lot of opportunity to be a different version of you. The uniquely imperfect best version of you are is amplified. Making new mistakes and new memories. New year/new you comes to mind. There's bigger shoes to fill, but why  don't you leave your own mark on the world this year? New bests and goals to achieve as your list of resolutions is long or short and sweet. The bigger question is- WHO are you gonna be? There's definitely heroes you aspire to being, but you should be able to grow into your own unique inspirational persona if you're sliding back into your shell of protective armour. Let that explosive vibrant colourful personality come out once in a while. Be brave and test the limits you're willing to go to let your voice soar over the rooftops until it's roaring like a lioness/lion's roar until you're heard. You c...

 Hey Dudes/Dudettes, Turning the volume up on a device to increasingly loud and impossible decibels isn't an ideal way to relax when you're in that Netflix and chilling mode. It shouldn't be giving you banging headaches until you can't be relaxed. In the instance of going through having crazy procedures like chemo, where all the drugs in that messes your brain up to where you can't take loud noises or bright light. Asking a person to turn it down gets you into the quicksand of trouble and you'll be stuck in it for a little while. You keep on giving these subtle hints of the beauty of earphones, but it doesn't work. This is when the frustrations come out cuz when your volume on the big screen TV is too loud you get told when you're trying to enjoy a show in surround sound. You can't take the loudness and have that constant crease between your furrowed brows cuz you wanna be able to actually hear what's being said on your show. Or maybe you just wa...

 Hi Virgin River Fans, Raising your voice to prove a point is a positive and negative thing in so many ways. Getting the fine balance of getting it right can take time. The whole 'putting the foot in your mouth' syndrome can be related to this incident of raising your voice at a person who's blasting their phone volume to the max volume that leaves you with a pounding headache until you can't think clearly- until you hear the throbbing of your brain so loudly in your ear drums. My question is what the heck were earphones invented for then? To listen to the sound of your shows in peace. This is just one example, but this word 'ai ai ai' is kind of confidence draining and off putting. It drains you of all the confidence you have under your belt. It makes you slowly crawl back into that dark shell that you try super hard to break out of and blossom out of like a caterpillar coming out of it's chrysalis. It's all about that metamorphism that just gets torn a...

 Hey Outer Banks Fans, Getting an apology is always great, but it depends on how you get apologised to. A person can be the bigger person and it's all fine and dandy, but my question to you fellow readers is what's the point if an apology is used to get over a situation quickly instead of being open/honest and sincere? My answer would be that there's no point. You have to feel deep understanding and care for the person who's saying sorry. Sorry is a huge word. It's a word that has to be turned into a huge deal, otherwise it's just non-existent. You NEED to feel like a person is putting real time and effort into making you feel better about yourself. You can be a strong independent person and still go toe to toe with a lot of different types of people that aren't your cup of tea, and it's not because they call you out on the complex parts of your outer persona that's a work in progress, it could be a number of things such as not seeing eye-to-eye on a...

 Hey Anger from Inside Out 1 and 2, We all have these inner demons and triggers that make us turn into that Disney character the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. We try to not be the spoiled prince who didn't know how to love and be loved in return until a random enchantress magics us into a terrible beast full of ugliness. The volatile volcanic anger wrecks the whole world. It takes away the confidence and fearless bravado that others' try so hard to build. All those insecurities that are buried deep under the layers of who we are get stirred up in another person when they can't handle the brutal truths about how they talk down to a person. We poke the beast with our words of blurted out thought and the eye of the storm unleashes and you've walked into unchartered territory. It's hard to not break apart in the sweat of anxiety when you've dipped your toe in the whirlpool of interference, it'll come back to bite you in the ass. Having a backbone and fighting...

 Hey John Wick fans, This is a complex subject. It can make you feel strongly about it. Being an independent person is many things apart from doing housework. It can be education and work. Achieving a small task can make you independent. There's not one specific definition. I'm not telling y'all to open a dictionary, but this isn't worth making anyone feel less than they are. It can cause the doomed conflict that you're not even looking for. It can make a person triggered to the point of anxiety about who they are as a person, whether they're adequate or not. It can mean the difference of being the hero or villain in a person's storyline. Also, it can being up the thin line between love and dislike. I think you can dislike a person, but not hate them with a passion. Yeah, a person can become prickly when it comes to independence, when you're quite an independent person without knowing how to do most aspects of housework. Travelling by yourself can be a s...

 Hey fellow bookworms, Offense VS defense. There's a thin line written in the sand between them, and when you offend a person there's all kinds of verbal blowback that you're not ready for. Opinions and ideas can offend a person. The bare-faced ugly brutal truths that you don't wanna hear can affect another person when you use them on them. It's like a ping pong match where there's a winner and a loser. There's the written word on a page that can offend a  person to the literal bare-knuckled punch to the gut verbal word that can piss a person off. Once you've set foot over an invisible bridge of things you've said or done there's no going back if a person is in the deep well of offended. Then you've gotta deal with the crossfire of texts and voice notes from the person that has been offended if you're living in the digital age. You Boomer's out there don't need to worry about that last part. When shit goes sideways there's alw...
