How Problems Get “Solved” in Naples
Two years ago, our roof started leaking. Well, leaking is a strong word for it; it was dropping tears on rare occasions — sometimes it seemed to me — to check in with us, as a kid does, to make sure their parents hadn't forgotten about the existence of the smallest.

Absolutely nothing
And I sat there by the shore, looking at the sea. It was really cold, and the gloves were barely keeping my hands warm. Most of the time, it was calm and rhythmic, but on that day, something had changed. The color of the water was a deep blue, almost black, and it flowed clumsily and wildly, as if it carried the furious guilt of the world and could no longer bear it. I was staring at the angry, rolling waves as they crashed against the naked cliffs and greedily embraced the shore.

Consumer Attorneys Review – David Pinkhasov Left Me Misled and Stressed
My name is Rick White. For the past six months, I’ve been carrying a specific, chilling kind of stress. It’s a knot of anxiety that tightens every time my phone rings from an unknown number. This feeling wasn’t born from the original legal issue. I needed help with a frustrating but manageable consumer dispute. No, this dread was manufactured, meticulously and unprofessionally, by the very law firm I hired to be my advocate: Consumer Attorneys, and specifically, by the associate attorney assigned to my case, David Pinkhasov.

115 Miles Back to You
The summer of 2021 wasn't anything spectacular on paper. There was no big trips, no dramatic life changes, but it was the first summer that made something inside of me shift. That was the summer I met him. For the sake of privacy, i'll call him Kevin, but nothing what I felt for him was pretend.

The Quiet Side of Elder Abuse: What I Witnessed Working in a Lab
Elder abuse doesn’t just happen in nursing homes. It happens in cars, waiting rooms, doctor offices, and in public — right in front of people who have no power to stop it. I learned that the hard way when I was a Site Lead at Labcorp.

The Secret I Carried for Years
The Secret I Carried for Years BY: Khan The secret began as something small—so small that I convinced myself it didn’t matter. But secrets grow. They twist themselves around your thoughts, tangling everything until you cannot separate the truth from the fear of being found out. Mine stayed with me for years, tied to every decision I made and every person I let close. I thought I could outrun it. I thought silence would protect everyone, including myself. I was wrong.

Motherhood
I lie on the couch and try to get some rest while my newborn is finally asleep, while my toddler plays on the floor beside me. My ears are filled with sirens, not real, but from a toy. Man, I miss silence. What I would give for a nap without the white noise of toys being thrown in the background and the wet blanket of breast milk I now have on tap. I lay still, almost in a peaceful state of mind. WHACK!! You have got to be kidding me! I jump up as my toddler has just walked up and assaulted my temple with an ambulance. “We don’t hit people with trucks,” I say. That's a phrase I never thought I’d say in my life. This is my reality now. Once a bright, organized young adult, now a mobile milk dispenser with toddler counseling abilities. This is motherhood, folks, and I’m here to tell you the good, bad, heartfelt, and ugly parts that come with it.
