Two Polygamists In A Monogamist World

Sharayed My name is Sharayed and this the story of how my wife and I decided to take the road less traveled and saved our relationship. We are not one of those monogamous couples the society generates, we’re happy polygamists. We weren’t always like that though, we had a tough three years in our marriage […]

The Crossroads of Life

I’ve always been a pretty straightforward person. My whole life has been a series of blacks and whites – no grey. I can say so with certainty that even if I did accidentally slip into the grey area, I slipped out as quickly. It comes as a surprise to me at this point in life […]

J.R.R Tolkien This saying could not be more true, I’ve always been of the opinion that wandering should be an acceptable life choice rather than being considered nomadic blether and a desperate call for attention.

I Wish You Hadn’t: A Woman’s Cry In The Sub-Continent

I wish you hadn’t screamed at me like that thinking you had all the power in the world, do you not fear God? I wish you hadn’t caressed your ego, and given in to your family’s wishes over mine, I wish you knew that words have the power to hurt people in a way most […]
