Bad habits
Simple '30-second rule' can help you win every conversation, even if you're a little awkward
Do you ever feel awkward in conversations? You’re not alone. Whether it's making small talk with coworkers, chatting with someone new at a party, or trying to break the ice in a meeting, conversation anxiety is something many people experience. For those who aren’t naturally charismatic, knowing what to say—especially early in an interaction—can feel like walking a tightrope.

"Battling Political Fatigue"
In today's hyper-connected world, political news is unavoidable. Whether scrolling through social media or checking the latest news apps, political updates seem to flood our phones every minute. While staying informed is important, this constant barrage of information can lead to something called political fatigue—a sense of mental exhaustion, frustration, and emotional burnout caused by overwhelming political content.

I Ignored Every Red Flag — Until It Was Too Late
When I first met him, he seemed perfect. Kind, funny, ambitious — everything I thought I was looking for. We met through a mutual friend at a party, and I remember how his eyes lit up when he talked about his goals. I was drawn in instantly. It felt like the universe had finally sent someone just for me.

The Intricate Web of Deception
Deception, in its myriad forms, is an undeniable facet of human interaction. While we often aspire to honesty, the reality is that all individuals engage in untruths, whether consciously or unconsciously. Curiously, even as words are crafted to mislead, our physiology, through the subtle cues of body language, frequently threatens to betray the spoken falsehood. This apparent paradox raises a compelling question: why would evolutionary pressures favor such a seemingly self-defeating mechanism? The answer, complex and multifaceted, is woven into the very reasons we resort to deception. Understanding the motivations behind our lies and the distinct forms they take is crucial to navigating the intricate dynamics of human relationships and societal structures.

The Driving Test
Introduction This is an example story for my "Sunshine After The Rain Challenge" that you can find here: One of the things I have noticed about my backup account is I get a lot less comments than I do on my main accounts, as well as, seemingly a lot less reads. One story has five comments and one read, but I suppose, in reality, it is early days, and hopefully, I can let this fade into the background when my main account is restored.
