The sand in between my toes
as I’m walking, into the deep blue sea
Seagulls flying by
Children playing and building sand castles near by
A man surfing
The waves start to crash, down on me
As I dive, deep into the ocean
For a morning swim
My body is warm, the deeper I go
I open my eyes
I see
The coral reef
fish swimming, next to me
I swim, up to the surface
Take a deep breath
Go back down, again
But, this time I look at my feet
Their Gone!
I’m a mermaid 🧜♀️ at sea

Unveiling
A piece about reclaiming personal power, setting boundaries, and letting go. An embodied and paced descent into the depths and rhythms of our emotionality. An exploration of hurt and reflection along a broader journey to honesty—the evolution from disillusionment to self-empowerment—only to resurface into awareness, revealing the process of transformation. It introduces vulnerability by way of change, self-expression, release, and renewal, and with clear reclamation. Layered, introspective, and ever-so whimsical, this prose highlights the movement through hardship into self-empowerment. The writer hopes to invite curiosity, thoughtfulness, and connection. This is not a romanticization of pain, nor is it a therapeutic how-to. It is simply, my truth.

The Friendship Recession: Why Adults Are Struggling To Build Close Relationships
This is a universal phenomenon that is affecting both individual and collective psyches. Humans thrive on companionship. The pandemic is solely to blame, however that particular far from auspicious time is not really to blame. The no-friends-trend-turned-friendship-recession, bringing forth the loneliness epidemic was a thing before 2020.
