Scattered Thoughts of a 36 Year Old Woman
I’ve always been a woman with so much love to give, and so much love in my heart, I’ve just never known where to direct it.

The Comparison Trap: How Measuring Ourselves Against Others Steals Our Joy
Introduction: The Subtle Thief of Joy In a world that runs on social media feeds, highlight reels, and constant updates, it has become easier than ever to measure our lives against the lives of others.

While comparison can sometimes motivate us to improve, more often than not, it steals our joy, leaving us feeling unworthy and perpetually behind.

Most of the world knows Vietnam through travel magazines, war documentaries, or postcard-like images of Ha Long Bay and lanterns in Hoi An. But Vietnam, for me, is not just about breathtaking landscapes or famous tourist spots. It is about a small, quiet village tucked away in the northern countryside—a place that taught me the meaning of stillness, patience, and peace.

True Friendship: The Story of Zaman Ali’s Sacrifice
True Friendship: A Bond Beyond Time BY:Khan Friendship is a five-letter word, yet within these letters lie countless mysteries, secrets, and values.

When hearts are bound with the pure essence of friendship, even the most difficult tasks become easier. In such a relationship, there is no space for greed, jealousy, deceit, or malice. Instead, it paves the way to success and makes strangers feel like family.

I know I'm shy and awkward when I'm out of my element, but it doesn't help that in the gay community "dating" is paramount with hooking up.
