Liz (aka Isa) being over dramatic. The GP did not laugh. In fact my ten minute appointment turned into 45 [...]

Can the mirror lie?

Can the mirror lie?

Ever notice how the mirror doesn’t always tell the truth? You stand there, staring at your reflection, picking apart every little thing? Too much of this, not enough of that. But what you see isn’t always what others see. While you focus on flaws, someone else might see warmth in your eyes, a smile that [...]

Waters hush

Waters hush

Come drift with me, where sunlight spills low,molasses-light on limbs aglow. The water hushes, thick and wide,a velvet cradle, a heated tide. Toes tease on lazy blue,fingers paint fire the sky once knew. Each swell a secret, soft and tight,each breath a bloom in golden light. No rules. No rush. Just gleam and hush,a sly [...]

The day before it starts

The day before it starts

Sunday night, it’s the emotional equivalent of buffering.Nothing’s wrong, technically, but everything feels off. I started the day with sunshine and serotonin. Naive mistake.By dinner, Monday was looming like a badly parked thought I can’t unsee. I reached for snacks like they were therapy.That biscuit chocolate bar. Judged me like I was its disappointing child.Even [...]
