Mid February 2026: 3 Goals Accomplished
As you can see from the image-- and the title-- I notched my 3rd writing goal for the year of 2026. Late January saw a funny day where I happened to accomplish 2 goals on the same day. It was one goal that I could control, and one that I couldn't... hence them happening on the same day. Midway through February, another one of my goals that I didn't have complete control over was accomplished!

While The World Collapses
My life is yet to be interesting to anyone but myself. Nothing even feels real, all the negative bullshit feelings I experienced growing up were for what? Because now that I think back to the times I constantly felt anxiety, fear, pressure, stress, etc. It doesnāt even feel like I was real. I donāt know how to explain it even on paper. Anne Frank said āPaper has more patience than people.ā At the age of 21 I discovered for the first time an interest in writing, more specifically journaling. Yet, at the time I didnāt even know what I was doing was considered journaling because it happened in the most intrinsic way. This creative expression only lasted a few months before it began to wear off, yet I had become so dependent on journaling in order to feel good and okay. Everything around me was collapsing while the inner me was ecstatic. This was a feeling Iāve never felt before! Who can I tell? Oh wait, I forgot Iām a quiet person, let's not tell a soul. My personality type is INFJ. I just learned this recently, before learning this I was so bitter and stuck for the last 4 years, after I had no path or goals or drive. The only thing I wanted to do was write and express myself and help others. Unfortunately, there is no room for that in this reality that Iām living, or have I not been exposed to the correct environment, information, energy? How am I able to tell you the number of times Iāve prayed and asked for help? It worked at times and other times I just felt stuck, Itās a damn loop. Nobody is here to help you through the times you get stuck, but you will always find them at the end of the tunnel where your peace lies. They sit there patiently waiting until you finally reach the end where they then shoot you with their damn opinions. Hey, but if thereās one thing I learned in my journey, itād be to not let things get you so angry. Because as the late, great Nikola Tesla said, āIf you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.ā If something makes you angry, that very thing has altered your state of being. You have been disrupted, and now from a high vibrational state you have unknowingly lowered your vibrational state. Become aware of this as I have, and see where it takes you. Last example, many people dislike something too much sometimes, for instance atheists hate the idea of religion (not all of them do of course, this is just something Iāve recurringly noticed), and while having a conversation the other person brings up religion and now the atheists entire inner state is altered due to the word āreligionā being the cause for this alteration. After this, they unknowingly blurt out opinions in an annoyed and condescending way. As I get older, I understand the responsibility I have in this world. To share my art with the world, my voice, my ideas. I am the rain pouring onto the rainforest. To bring the energy of my state of being and share it with you. Thereās always something going on in the world, however our consciousness is limited. While the world collapses, I sit here and write. While the world collapses, I choose my creative expression.

Biblical event or just a āblindā coincidence sealing our fate? Part 3/
The Circle of Ideas and Principlesā. In my own words, when I think about truth, I keep asking myself whether itās absolute, relative, or layered, and whether intuition and science can both guide me toward it, even when truth hides inside metaphor or mysticism.

The Creole Praying Pots of Chef Leah Chase
The Conjure, or āhoodoo,ā as it is often called, may be the āreorganized remnantsā of what was once a more formal religion. Conjure, in African and Afro-American folklore, is far more than spellwork or superstition - it's a rich spiritual technology rooted in ancestral wisdom, resistance, and survival.

Draft Deleting? Don't Do It!. Top Story - February 2026.
Today, I had a little time. I decided that I would have a look at the drafts that I have on Vocal. This is part of a long-term wish to have everything I've written on paper rather than virtually. I've not looked at them for weeks and something drew me to them, just to browse and see what was there.

Notes On Reading My Stories...
I wanted to share some notes on my stories, the universes that they inhibit, and the ways that they relate to each other. Please read this note first; I promise I will keep it brief. In general, there are three universes that I'm posting here: space, the detective, and fairytales. I'll make a master author's note the detective and space universes themselves soon, but here are the important parts:
