The unsettling silence of longing for someone isn't just the sound of their absence, but the weight of yearning for a nonexistent future together while shifting realities to one without them. People don't just leave memories behind; they replay them as storylines that will never happen–sentences that will never be spoken, jokes that will never be told, accomplishments that will never be shared–all while getting used to turning the present into the past tense. The voids left b

Childhood is great, everything seems successful,  All to praise, nothing stressful. No pressure, no doubt,  All friends are with you around.  Then comes adolescence,  Time when no one seems to want your presence. All the nonexistent responsibilities arrive,  And all of a sudden you uncontrollably start to spiral.  Pressure, chores, and bonds,  In adolescence, it all seems to go beyond;  Beyond boundaries that were already set,  With those who you've already met.  Friendships

Christmas is a celebration of Jesus Christ’s birthday. If that's the case, how does Santa fit into  the narrative? Santa Claus is known for being a symbol of Christmas: a cheerful old man with red clothes that brings gifts to children who’ve behaved well  throughout the year.

Nicholas came from a wealthy family and rece
