Breaking Free: The Moment I Chose Myself
I was 19 years old when I met my ex-husband through online dating. Young, hopeful, and believing in love, I thought I had found my forever. He introduced me to his family, made me feel like I belonged, and at 20, I married him in 2003—believing we were building a future together.

A Night of Unforeseen Passions in a Remote Cabin
In the dim glow of a holiday cabin, you awaken to a scene that feels like a dream plucked from the pages of a steamy novel. The candles that once lit the room have dwindled, casting long shadows across the wooden walls. Beside you, the bed creaks as I shift, perched at its edge, peering into the darkness beyond a lattice screen that separates our space from another.

Young Man Finds Unexpected Comfort After Romantic Struggles
Sitting on his grandmother’s vibrant red sofa, 20-year-old Jayden tried to lose himself in a movie, but a heavy cloud of frustration clung to him. For four days, he’d been wrestling with a gnawing disappointment that began the previous Saturday night. After months of dating a charming, petite woman with a warm mahogany glow, he’d hoped their evening in a hotel room would mark a turning point-his first time stepping beyond virginity. At 20, he was eager, and she, an 18-year-old virgin too, had seemed just as willing. But as the moment drew near, everything unraveled.

A New Life in the Fast Lane: Josh’s American Adventure Begins
Josh van der Haagen stirred awake to the clamor of workmen outside his new home, the late morning sun filtering through the opaque window of his bathroom. His body ached from the 16-hour flight from Europe, a discomfort even first-class luxury couldn’t erase. Stretching with a groan, he tried to cling to sleep, but the relentless noise won out. Resigned, he rolled out of bed, weaving through a maze of unpacked boxes and furniture to reach the shower. As hot water cascaded over him, he surveyed his new surroundings-his room and bathroom, meticulously crafted to match the 3D models he’d approved. The spacious house, a gift from his father, was one silver lining to this transatlantic upheaval.

Chapter VII: The Ontology of Silence
From every corner of experience quiet, in its variations, is the sound of existence itself, the sound of absence. Silence has varied qualities. Think about the silence of dawn in the woods where the light of day pierces the top of the trees each moment like God holding its breath a split second longer; unmistakably old silence vibrating with memories of a forming world. Or, consider the silence of the city at sleep, thick with human noise, its asphalt heating up from the day's activity, not yet dissipated, a whole inhabited unconscious simmering like neurons firing in synchronization. Or, think about the silence before storm, a stretch, poised like a bow-and-arrow, the sound of silence true, always an inevitability; and, then there is the silence after-storm the world emerged as if it was hollowed out from a gutting, shaken pure everything is deemed newborn

Goodbye, Atomic Habits
I used to be a poster child for better habits. Back in the day, James Clear’s Atomic Habits sat enthroned on my nightstand. I was also the proud owner of a habit tracker, where I religiously logged my daily habits — sleep, yoga, reading, etc. And as if that wasn’t enough, the first article I published was about habits.
