I Still Talk to Him, Even Though He's Gone
I still talk to him. In the mornings, as I pour coffee into my favorite chipped mug, I tell him what kind of dream I had. Sometimes they’re weird—like the one with the talking dog and the broken escalator—and I can almost hear him laughing, that low, chest-deep laugh that used to rumble next to me in bed.

The Day Everything Fell Apart (and What Came After)
It was a Thursday, though I didn’t know that at the time. Days had blurred into each other, colored only by panic, emails marked “urgent,” and the constant static hum of anxiety. I was pacing the hallway between my bedroom and the kitchen when the phone call came—the final push that sent everything tumbling.

Why I Still Set a Plate for My Dead Son
Every evening at 6:30, I set the table for dinner. Fork on the left, knife and spoon on the right, cloth napkin folded neatly. Three plates. Mine. My husband’s. And the third — a small ceramic plate with a faded cartoon astronaut in the middle — for my son, Daniel.

The Day I Walked Away from Everything
It was a Tuesday. Not a particularly dramatic day by any means. No storm clouds hovered ominously over my apartment, and no mysterious phone call had just shattered my sense of reality. The sky was actually a soft blue, and the coffee shop on the corner had just put out a sign for half-priced lattes. But that’s the thing about real change — it doesn’t always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes it tiptoes in during a regular Tuesday.

A Few Tips for Facebook Users
It was 7:30 a.m. when Lisa opened her eyes to the familiar buzz of her phone. Her fingers, still half-asleep, tapped open Facebook. Like most mornings, she planned to scroll for just five minutes — check notifications, maybe laugh at a meme, and move on with her day. But 45 minutes later, she was still there, lost in a maze of political rants, product ads, and vacation photos from people she hadn’t seen in years.

How to Find Out That You're in Love — Really ?
They tell you that you’ll just know when you’re in love. That there’ll be fireworks, butterflies, and some cosmic clarity that hits you like a bolt of lightning. You’ll hear music when they walk into the room. You’ll ache when they’re not around. You’ll want to shout it from rooftops and dance in the rain.

When the World Forgot Me
There was no explosion, no great betrayal, no dramatic exit. Just... silence. It started slowly, like background static you don’t notice until one day it’s the only thing you hear. The texts stopped coming. The calls dried up. Invitations vanished. At first, I told myself everyone was busy. Life happens.
