Artist: ik_nnadiarts I am my mother's daughter. Do you know what that means? It means that I have spent countless moments wondering if she liked me. If she might have been the one who birthed me.

My grass is green enough
Artist unknown In pursuit of better, you'll constantly find yourself reaching for the next best thing. Life always seems to be happening in the future instead of right now where you find yourself. Sometimes, it is not even about being greedy or being ambitious, it may just be not knowing how to stop either out… Continue reading My grass is green enough
Option is Power
By Brend Moda I remember growing up with the words 'option is power'. In fact, there was a book I read in my early childhood that had that title. It was really about always having a plan so one is never stranded or at least without an opportunity to change course. What no one knows… Continue reading Option is Power
Different Little Things
Painting by Marie Alexander Have you ever seen a picture of what your life would have been and wondered? For example, I scroll through my phone reading the post of one of my friend's sister talking about how she had often wished for a sister and now through my friend's marriage she had gained a… Continue reading Different Little Things
JUST BE
Art by Nydia I don't know if there is a right way to be loved but I have always prayed for a man who would love me, defend me and put himself for me selflessly. You know, to have someone undividedly mine. To just know that they will give anything and everything to be part… Continue reading JUST BE

If there was, it… Continue reading WHERE IS “THE ONE”?
IS THIS A BAD DAY OR IS THIS NORMAL?
Artist: Tracy Porter "overthinking is a full time job" If you have spent a day in the mind of an overthinker, you'd know for certain that it is a huge cross to bear. Not only is the brain actively plotting scenerios that may never come to pass, there is also the exhaustion that comes with… Continue reading IS THIS A BAD DAY OR IS THIS NORMAL?
All we have are moments
Painting by Nicoart This title is interesting because it could also read: "we all have our moments" but the distinction is so succinct that even when they lead to the same path, the journeys they evoke are quite different. When I say we all have our moments, you immediately think about maybe something positive or… Continue reading All we have are moments
In the name of love
Art by Teodosio sectio Aurea What is the craziest thing you have ever done for love? Some sing songs about a broken heart on the mend, betrayal and jealousy. The very definition of angst. Many many words have been scribbled to capture the essence of this unfathomable language. Many have gone mad, have killed, died,… Continue reading In the name of love
