The Ink Drinker
I was not born hungry. I was made that way. In the beginning, I only read to pass the silence. I curled beside windows with books too large for my hands and let the wind turn the pages. Words were soft then. Gentle. Like lullabies trapped in ink. I read about queens who ruled without raising their voices. About beasts who bowed only to kindness. About spells that healed rather than harmed. I read until the world outside dulled and the world within sharpened.

The Merchant of Steam and Secrets
I once believed tea was made for quiet mornings and gentle company. That it belonged in porcelain cups, between friends or lovers, steeped with soft conversation and sunlight. But that was before. Before I learned what the leaves could whisper if you dared to truly listen. Before I became something else entirely—a merchant, yes, but not of comfort. I trade in desire. I sell tea like others sell gold, and mine is more potent.

A Mirror I Didn’t Expect: How a Challenge Revived My Self-Love Journey
Self-love is not a destination—it’s a journey. Sometimes it’s easy to feel like you’ve reached a solid point in that journey, that you’ve made enough progress to stand tall and proud. That’s how I felt, or thought I felt, until a recent challenge pulled me into a reflection I wasn’t ready for—but deeply needed.

The Tea Merchant's Secret: When Desire Becomes Obsession
They call me a tea merchant, but that’s far too gentle a word. What I sell is not warmth in a porcelain cup, nor comfort on rainy evenings. I do not deal in calm or culture, nor nostalgia. My tea is something else entirely.

"Where the Child Still Lives"
There is a place where memories float gently, like fallen leaves on a quiet stream. That place lives within you—still breathing, still calling. Once, it was a paper boat you folded with your small hands, letting it drift along puddles that mirrored the sky. You didn’t know then that you were launching hope.

Online Learning Isn’t Easier — It’s Just Different
While distance learning isn't new, the number of people turning to it has exploded in recent years — and it’s not just students anymore. Employees are also being asked (or outright required) to complete online training for certifications or job retention.

The Goodbye I Never Gave Her
I didn’t go to her funeral. Not because I didn’t care—but because I didn’t know how to exist in a room full of strangers who were once family. Too many faces I no longer recognized. Too many stories I was no longer part of. Time, silence, and separation had done their job well.

The Rise of AI in Everyday Life
They said artificial intelligence was the future. Now, it’s the present. And most of us didn’t even notice the shift. AI has gone from being a distant sci-fi fantasy to something we interact with before we’ve even had our morning coffee. It’s in our phones, our homes, our cars, our classrooms — and sometimes even in our relationships. We don’t think twice about asking Alexa to play a song, letting Google finish our sentences, or letting Instagram’s algorithm decide what we see.

The Woman They Called Eccentric
Said she was just “different.” A free spirit. A quirky woman with too many ideas and too few filters. They spoke about her with a kind of amused detachment, like she was a character from a novel — too strange to understand, but too entertaining to ignore.

Why Grammar Textbooks Get It Wrong
There’s a major flaw in how traditional grammar is often taught—and if you’ve ever tried to learn a new language using a textbook, you’ve probably run into it. You open the book (or click on an online article), full of motivation and curiosity, hoping to understand how the language works. What do you find?
