Childhood
The Day My Smart Fridge Tried to Take Over the House. AI-Generated.
Start writing... It all started on an otherwise perfectly normal Tuesday morning. I was sitting at the kitchen table, sipping the first cup of coffee—the sacred ritual that kickstarts every day. My phone buzzed with emails, and I was just about to scroll through them when my smart fridge decided to interrupt.

Walk With Me in the Garden
The garden wasn’t large, but it felt like another world. Tucked behind her grandmother’s old stone house, it was a patchwork of roses, jasmine, tulips, and winding vines that seemed to whisper with the wind. As a child, Amara believed it had magic. As an adult, she realized it still did — just a quieter kind.

The way he made me feel
It all started with a wave to a kid, who came like an angel who made a path in my love life. Our first meeting wasn't so dramatic like Hollywood movies or any K-drama moment. His smile towards me felt so genuine, soft enough to catch my attention. It felt so secret that it didn't felt like as if i was in love. I saw something in his eyes.... a lightness, a kindness, something that made the room feel less cold. For the first time in my life, i felt noticed. I have had crushes before but it never felt so unreal like he made me feel.

So, Who are We Now?
Do you know that the trope of baseball players or other traveling workers in movies and TV shows has a bunch of different families all across the country? Well, that’s a real thing, and baseball players aren’t the only folks who do this; other “regular people” do it, and not just men. Women are family hoarders, too. Some, like my maternal great-grandmother, are cuckoos if you will. Leaving their fledglings in other nests to be cared for by the father's family, usually the father's family.

How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Everyone Online.
You’re waiting for your coffee to brew, or you’re ticking off the time before bed, and suddenly you’re ten minutes into someone else’s highlight reel. A wedding in Bali. A promotion announcement. Perfectly styled kids in spotless homes. She just had her third child and still looks like she stepped out of a fashion ad. He’s buying his second home at 28. They’re building a life you never dreamed possible.

Fading Thoughts
The rain had fallen all the night long and a steady murmur was there that whispered against the cracked windowpane of Room 304. Morning arrived not with sunlight but with a bruised sky and shadows that clung like cobwebs to the corners of the peeling walls. Abu sat in pensive mood at the edge of a thin metal-framed bed, fingers idly tracing the furs of his sweater. The room smelled of mildew and dust—like forgotten dreams.

The Bench by the Bus Stop
There’s a bench by the bus stop near my old school. You wouldn’t notice it if you weren’t looking. It’s rusted along the sides, the paint chipped from too many summers and rainy seasons. The wood creaks when you sit down, but it never breaks — a lot like the people who used to sit there.

What If a Low Birth Rate Is Actually a Blessing? Exploring the Hidden Opportunities
Introduction Across the world, fewer babies are being born each year. Many people worry about what this means for the future. Countries like Japan, South Korea, and many parts of Europe are aging fast and seeing populations shrink. Usually, we think low birth rates are a big problem that needs fixing. But what if that’s not the whole story? Could fewer babies actually be good for society and our planet? Imagine if, instead of just seeing low birth rates as a challenge, we saw them as an open door to new chances. Could this shift open up new ways of thinking about growth, environment, and community? Let’s explore the idea that sometimes, less might truly be more.

The Day I Gave Up “Just in Case''
I Thought I Was Practical: I Used to Hold on to Everything — Old Chargers, Broken Picture Frames, Clothes That Didn’t Fit, Expired Cosmetics, Even Paper Bags From My Favorite Stores. I Told Myself I Was Smart. That Day, I Would Need Them. That Day, They Would Serve a Purpose. In my mind, “Just in Case” became a form of preparedness — proof that I was responsible, resourceful, even wise. I didn’t want to be the person who threw something away and later regretted it.

Decluttering my house healed my mind.
The Mask of a “Clean” Life For years, my apartment seemed fine—at least on the surface. Visitors often commented on how “cute” or “cozy” my place was. But they didn’t notice what was buried behind closet doors, inside kitchen drawers, or under my bed. The truth was, I had mastered the art of “surface cleaning.” With ten minutes’ notice, I could make anything look acceptable: toss papers into a bag, put clutter in a closet, wipe down the counter, and smile.
