Submitted by: Youth C.A.R.E.S. In a world that whispers, "Be just like the rest," I stand at the crossroads, put to the test. With voices around me, some loud, some unclear, I search for my truth, amidst laughter and fear. They say, "Fit the mold, don’t stand out too much," But I feel the fire in my heart, it won’t hush. I see the bright colors of dreams yet to bloom, Not just shades of gray in a crowded room. Peer pressure’s a shadow, it looms and it pulls, But I’ll rise above it, I won’t be their tool. I’m more than their...

MURDERS By Larry Stanfel Continued.... There was a basement apartment where she, herself, could sleep when more exciting prospects failed to materialize, and, clearly, the cost of whatever food she consumed personally would easily be lost among the expenses of business. Interest rates had been suppressed by government so that individuals without incomes could purchase homes and default the loans, and if she sold her house, she might manage to afford the place. Peaceful Valley would never command a high tariff, so the extent of her income...
By Timothy Harrington Control in relationships is one of the most insidious dynamics affecting family well-being. At its core, controlling behavior stems from unresolved insecurities and a need to manage external environments to feel safe. Unfortunately, this behavior often masquerades as care or helpfulness, creating conflict and emotional distance within families.
