I never thought you would happen to me. But, you did. Sometimes life is funny like that; you can be prepared, plan ahead, and take care of yourself but sometimes things still turn out badly… or, at least not the way you planned.

You said you believed she was dead. I remember when you told me over dinner at my place. Your energy changed when I asked you about her and what had happened, and I realize now it was because of the unanswered questions surrounding her ten-year disappearance. There were whispers of familial foul-play…

I think it’s safe to assume that there isn’t a single person on Earth that actually enjoys being stuck among a sea of strangers in confined conditions, packed so tight like a can of sardines. It’s hot, sweaty, stressful, and uncomfortable — just generally an overall unpleasant experience. But you’d better get used to it if you ever plan on getting anywhere you need to go on Mexico City’s metro during rush hour.

It was dark in Paris on that particular night. The fight was the worst one to date. I can attest to the statement that nobody wins in a wine-induced argument. Our very first night in Paris, and look at what we had gotten ourselves into…

The dark canvas has yet again returned, as it does every evening once the pink sun sets beyond the hills. Laying back on the cool green grass, I look up. That darkness is lit with thousands of twinkling fireflies and one big bright snowflake directly overhead. Eyes closing, I put my hands behind my head, aware that there are crickets happily conversing in their earthy homes nearby…

Today, I found a flower. When I saw it, I felt my face light up, and a moment of nostalgia overcame me. I recognized this flower. How? Well, it was not the first time I had crossed paths with it. It was not the first time I had seen it or touched it. In fact, it came into my life months ago when I was halfway across the world.

The other day, I made a new friend. I’m not quite sure what his name was, given the fact that he was a spider, but let’s just go ahead and call him Bart.

Surely my brain couldn’t have understood what was in store for me. For us. How could it? It was just thirteen years old at the time, and his, well, was half a decade more mature than mine. It was an innocent, wholesome love. It had to be—I was still innocent, still young. He was too, but maybe with just a smidge less of innocence than me.

Although it was just a short time ago, I feel as though it’s been nearly a lifetime since I’ve been home — my true home. The home where my heart resides and my mind constantly wanders to — Ireland. I remember so clearly my first hours there. I doubt that I can ever forget…

A little girl found a flame. She was mesmerized by the flame’s mysterious warmth. What could she have possibly come across? Although the flame was foreign to her, she couldn’t help but engulf herself in the warmth it offered her. And when she did, she learned…

Lately I’ve been so scared of the thoughts that control my head,

These thoughts I am about to share, not knowing where they will be led.

This anxiety is taking over my life, my soul,

What am I to do? I really don’t know…

In 2016, I had my first past life regression reading. I went into it a little skeptical but kept an open mind. Since it was my first time doing this, I had no idea what to expect. I didn’t get my hopes up, but ultimately I was not disappointed…
