I don’t want vengeance.I don’t crave revenge.I don’t need to see anyone suffer the way I did.What I long for now… is peace. Just peace.

For three long decades, the soundtrack of my… Read More From Silence to Serenity: Reclaiming My Voice After Decades of Emotional Control
To some people, life is just a game of strategy. They play people like pawns.They move pieces in secret.They manipulate circumstances, twist stories, and sit smugly behind the illusion that no one sees what they’re doing.

(Spoiler: It might be both.) Let’s talk about the chaos, comedy, and confusion of falling in love. You think it’s going to be poetic. But really? It’s full of side effects they don’t warn you about.
