My reflection

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

14 Years

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!

Much love,
Jennifer

Her secrets

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

Timeless dance

in the realm of time
love stitches moments together
weaving a story 
that transcends the boundaries 
of seconds and hours 
it’s the timeless dance 
of your heart and mine
where every beat echoes 
through the corridors of forever
and each memory becomes a chapter 
etched in the book of eternity
and long after we are gone
from this vast space
our love will remain freely
in the eternal embrace of this moment
defying the hands that attempt 
to measure its depth

A thousand burdens

parts of her still live
within that house
where stale smoke 
still lingers in every corner
like a hazy memory
those thin walls
conceal all her secrets 
from the prying eyes
of the world
old dirty floorboards 
hold all her tears
that she counts
one by one
inside the grooves
that they live in
it’s the weight
of a thousand burdens
that keep her chained there
and all she can do now
is close her eyes
and remember  
she doesn’t live there anymore
