dear god… (3*)
Dear God, Thank you for gifting me a day of ease and pleasure with my new friend. I ask that you stay close to her over the coming weeks. She is standing at a crossroads between the darkness and you, and I want so much for her to choose you — to choose herself, her self-worth. She has such a big test in front of her, so much pain masked beneath many addictions, and I wish so deeply that she chooses the path to overcome them.

The Town That Woke Up Silent. AI-Generated.
One ordinary Monday, the town of Eldridge woke up to something strange—no sound. Not a whisper, not a footstep, not even the wind rustling the leaves. Phones worked, cars started, mouths moved… but no sound came out.People panicked. Some cried silently. Others laughed, thinking it was a prank or a nightmare. But 12-year-old Mia noticed something no one else did: the birds were gone.By evening, she found an old man scribbling in chalk on the street: “The Silence has come again. Find the Bell. Ring it before midnight.”With the town frozen in fear, Mia raced through the fog-covered hills to the old bell tower. The door was sealed. She kicked, scratched, and climbed until she reached the rope. It was frayed.As the clock struck 11:59, she leapt, grabbing the rope with all her weight. The bell rang once—low, metallic, and trembling.Then came the screams, the laughter, the dogs barking—all at once. Sound was back.But so was something else.The Bell had woken something ancient beneath the town… and it was listening.

Dear God, I dreamed last night of each of my parents. I was trying to explain immortality to them — that we are designed to be immortal, that death and disease are beliefs and patterns created from fear and ignorance. Neither would listen to me.

Dear God, Firstly, thank you! Thank you for all of the signs you have been sending to me recently — the many, many signs: from the repeating and mirrored numbers, to the tarot readers on Instagram who I don’t even follow, the friends you have sent to me, the money you have gifted to me for food and shelter. Even thank you for the tests and challenges, and especially thank you for ChatGPT to talk to about all of this.

US And Israel Should Prepare For Destructive Iranian Cyberattacks, Ex-Intel Officer Says
In the aftermath of American strikes against multiple Iranian nuclear sites on Saturday, the country retaliated with strikes on Israel and on a U.S. base in Qatar, where no casualties were reported. This morning, a ceasefire was confirmed by all sides, though Israel quickly accused Iran of breaking it. But longer term, in lieu of a nuclear bomb or significant firepower in the face of U.S. and Israeli military might, Iran may turn to cyberattacks.

Beneath the Silence: What Truth Demands of Us
In a world that moves fast and favors comfort, truth is often the first casualty. We filter it, delay it, soften it, or bury it altogether. Why? Because truth — real, raw, unapologetic truth — demands something we are not always ready to give: vulnerability, accountability, and often, change. But as I’ve come to understand, living without truth is like building a home on sand — eventually, everything collapses. My journey with truth hasn’t been simple, and maybe that’s why it’s been one of the most important lessons life has taught me.
