Stories from Life
Someone pulled strings, so she needed time to rest from the rest of everyday company. Yes, someone on the other end of the phone admitted it. But where to find her? She left the phone, didn't take her purse; she had had enough. Another heartless act, breaking her heart and soul. A heartless man was enough reason to simply leave and disappear. There was no support, quite the opposite. Let them worry now; maybe this will open their eyes, at least for a moment.

It is a puzzle—one layered with hidden meanings, mysterious symbols, and secret knowledge that may have been too dangerous to express openly at the time.

Idiotopathic Idiot
My heart is jittery, hands sweaty as I hold the roughed-up green folder that’s barely holding it together and filled to the brim with my life story. My one in one-hundred-thousand in one-hundred-thousand story. Tears pool in my eyes, blurring my vision. Naturally, my head hurts. There’s pain in the back of it, behind my eyes, and my ears are ringing.

The Echoes of Unbending will
The air in the mountain town of Naro Moru, at the foot of Mount Kenya, always carried the scent of pine and damp earth, a promise of the wild untamed beauty above. But for Elias, it carried the intoxicating aroma of his own certainty. He had climbed smaller peaks, navigated treacherous forests, and faced down swirling blizzards. Each triumph had chiseled away a silver of doubt, replacing it with an unshakeable conviction in his own abilities. He was, in his own mind, a titan of the high places, and mount Kenya, with its twin peaks reaching for the heavens, was merely the next challenge awaiting his conquest.

Dear God, Thank you for gifting me a day of ease and pleasure with my new friend. I ask that you stay close to her over the coming weeks. She is standing at a crossroads between the darkness and you, and I want so much for her to choose you — to choose herself, her self-worth. She has such a big test in front of her, so much pain masked beneath many addictions, and I wish so deeply that she chooses the path to overcome them.

Dear God, I dreamed last night of each of my parents. I was trying to explain immortality to them — that we are designed to be immortal, that death and disease are beliefs and patterns created from fear and ignorance. Neither would listen to me.

Dear God, Firstly, thank you! Thank you for all of the signs you have been sending to me recently — the many, many signs: from the repeating and mirrored numbers, to the tarot readers on Instagram who I don’t even follow, the friends you have sent to me, the money you have gifted to me for food and shelter. Even thank you for the tests and challenges, and especially thank you for ChatGPT to talk to about all of this.

Technology, society, and me
Chapter I When it all started This is not expected to be anything deep, profound, or anything like it. Since I usually write about technology news and try to add some sarcasm to make the reading a little bit lighter, today I decided to simply let my thoughts out in whatever order they choose and in any way they decide. I am writing this not as a draft but as my final unedited piece, because that’s how it’s intended to be. I will let this be a stream of consciousness and see where it leads me.
