I Fell for a Fantasy: Dating Someone Who Only Loved Me Online
The Internet Made It Feel Real - Until I Met Him in Person It started with fire emojis. Then the late-night replies. The inside jokes. The saved voice notes. The “good morning” texts that made my heart race.

Where the Quiet Boys Go.
Dear Danny, It’s been so many years, and I’m only just allowing myself to say your name out loud again. Daniel Dakum. I saw a picture today. A Facebook story—of all places. A woman I barely know, smiling with her children. In the background was a banner with your name on it: Daniel Dakum Foundation. It knocked the breath out of me. I blinked like maybe I had misread it. And then I saw another image—your family, all of them on stage, gathered around a penciled portrait of you. That soft face. That gentle smile. Just like I remember. And suddenly, you were everywhere. In my chest. In my throat. In the tears I didn’t know I had buried so deep.

Why do people Lie
Why Do People Lie? A Real Talk About the Truth Behind Dishonesty Let’s be honest — we all lie. Maybe not in huge, dramatic ways, but in little, everyday moments. Like when you say “I’m fine” even though you're not. Or when you tell your friend their new haircut looks great, even though you're not totally convinced.

It was always about the littlest things
You know those moments that light you up like a forestfire, the circumstances, people, entities, stories, words or notions that trigger something in you. That makes you act differently, to approach your life differently, to stride a different walk or embrace a new mindset. These are often quite moments that we think are insignificant, but are in reality monumental transgressions of metamorphosis, where everything changes, but also nothing changes.

The Day I Stopped Chasing “Enough”
Most of my adult years, I believed being "enough" was something you attained. Enough was about being on at all times. Being agreeable at all times. Constantly reaching for the next milestone, the next promotion, the next unread email in my inbox. I boasted about my fatigue as a badge of honor, as if running on empty indicated that I was doing something right. Society calls it hustle. I called it survival.

They Said No Strings—But Their Hearts Never Agreed
They thought they'd found the perfect solution: no strings, no drama, just comfort in each other’s arms. But when years of friendship blur into something deeper, and stolen glances start feeling like promises, Maya and Chris realize the heart doesn’t play by the rules—even the ones they wrote themselves.

In Conversation with Janeilla Burns
Janeilla Burns—better known to her fans as Androtta—doesn’t so much enter a room as she radiates into it: equal parts starlet and soul-sifter, with the kind of voice that makes you feel like the two of you could be forever 21 together. She writes. She composes. She sings like she’s bleeding glitter. And in the quiet between choruses, she tells the truth.
