a steady rhythm
of black and white
each stark and silent
whispered tales of contrast
light against dark
empty against full
together they shaped a boundary
yet held glimpses of something beyond
in their beautiful simplicity
the wall bore the weight of unity
a monochrome harmony in quiet
unbroken lines
time is a silent thief
slipping through unnoticed cracks
it steals moments before we realize their worth
turning laughter into echoes
and memories into shadows
we grasp at its passing
but it slips like sand through fingers
leaving behind only the ghost of what was
what once seemed endless
is now a faint whisper
reminding us that nothing stays
and time takes everything
I catch glimpses of myself
little fragments in the mirror
I see someone
both familiar and strange
the face holds stories
some clear
some blurred
and others yet to be told
there’s a comfort
in the known lines
a restlessness
in the unfamiliar shadows
my reflection changes as I do
revealing not just who I’ve been
but hints of who I might become
every single glance
asks me the same silent question
are you the person you thought you would be
Today marks a special milestone for me—14 years of sharing my thoughts, passions, and journey with all of you through WordPress. It’s incredible to think how much has changed in that time, and I’m filled with gratitude for the amazing community that has supported me along the way.
From the very beginning, WordPress has been more than just a platform; it has been a creative outlet, a place of learning, and a home for my ideas. I’ve had the privilege of connecting with so many wonderful readers, fellow bloggers, and creators who have inspired me and enriched my experience.
To everyone who has visited, commented, and shared their thoughts—thank you. Your support has made every post worthwhile. Whether you’ve been with me from the start or have joined me more recently, your presence has made this journey truly special.
Here’s to many more years with you all!

Happy Independence Day! Today, we celebrate the birth of our nation and honor the bravery and vision of those who fought for our freedom. Let’s come together with family and friends to enjoy parades, fireworks, and festivities, remembering the spirit of unity and patriotism that defines us. Here’s to liberty and justice for all!

whispers danced off her lips
filling the room with secrets
only the walls could hear
each word clung to the wallpaper
weaving tales of dreams and fears
empty walls listened patiently
absorbing every confession
they held her stories safely
painting them into the shadows
of a broken old home
and sealing a promise
to never reveal her truths
Hey everyone! I just wanted to check in with you all and see how you guys and ladies were doing. I’ve been rather busy with work these days, in the events business, so tis the season to have one!
Let me know what you all have been up to lately. I’d love to hear from you!
Love,
Jenn
a promise once made
now lays quietly
upon her heart
his words echo
like vibrations
through the delicate layers
of her bones
and now as silence
fills the empty spaces
he is forever woven
into her tears
in the quiet of night
the absence of your laughter
echoes louder than ever
and the memories flood in
like waves crashing against the shore
a gentle reminder
of all the moments we’ve shared
ones that will forever be confined
in all the corners of my heart
alone in the depths of laughter
like a shadow in sunlight
a ghost among the living
unseen
unheard
the ache of isolation
a silent scream in a crowded room
adrift in a sea of belonging
always yearning for a shore
that never comes
