Who a person is to begin with
I recently entered into an argument with a long time friend, we argued about politics and on our point of view when it came to global politics happening right now in the world, I’ll spare you the details, the main point was I disagreed with how it was being done meanwhile he agreed.

The Quiet Power of Presence: Trust, Desire, and the Weight of Being
I can still feel the chill of that evening, the way it made my skin keenly aware of itself. I leaned against the balcony railing of a small apartment, watching the streetlights flicker below, glowing softly through the dimming dusk. He was there, a few steps away, his gaze on the streets as if he could read the rhythm of life beneath him. There was nothing performative in his posture, no dramatic gesture to draw attention. Yet the way he existed in that space—calm, grounded, and unassuming—pulled me in. I became painfully aware of how his presence shaped the air around him, shaping me in subtle, unnameable ways.

Chronicles of a Ho-peless Romantic
I wanted to think I had everything under control. I was being responsible and Intentional. Obviously very mature and mindful. I wasn’t dating because I had met a man who was everything I wanted. Almost charming, intelligent, and insufferable, emotionally confusing and unavailable...and tall. Just perfect. He was lingering and just available enough to ruin my life a little. But not available enough to be my boyfriend cause that would be too efficient. Naturally, he became part of a roster I never asked for and absolutely did not want.

The Weight of the Falling Quiet
The streetlights outside Elias’s window were just dim blurs now, swallowed by the relentless descent. Big, fat flakes, not the tiny stinging kind, but soft, almost lazy, piling up fast. They coated everything, smoothed out the sharp edges of the world. Power lines, fences, the gnarled branches of the old oak in his yard — all turned into soft, white ridges. The quiet. God, the quiet. That was the worst part, always.

The Love That Still Haunts Her
Juliet was thirteen the first time the world truly broke her. Before that, she'd always known she was different — but it hadn’t been punished yet. She thought maybe, if she was just sweet enough, just smart enough, just kind enough, the world would leave her alone. It didn’t.

World War 3: Why the Fear Is Growing, Why the Future Is Not Decided
World War 3: Why the Fear Is Growing—and Why the Future Is Not Decided In recent years, the phrase “World War 3” has moved from history books into daily conversation. It appears in news headlines, political speeches, social media debates, and comment sections across the internet. For many people, it represents a growing fear that the world is drifting toward another global catastrophe. But fear alone does not explain why this idea has become so powerful—or why it demands careful discussion rather than panic.

the reality of true love . Content Warning.
I cried. I cried for you, for us.you were my first love, my last love, and everything in between. No one could be as good as you.Why must you leave me? because i deserve the pain, the suffering? did you really have to leave?..The scars on my heart show on my wrists as much as my tears do on my soul. Was this all worth it? the short term bitter-sweetness this "safe place" all for what? To know if this feeling exists? The gut retching feeling of getting your heart ripped out of your chest by the one you love the most? Because its real I've felt it. this pain, The pain that hits you so hard reality doesn't even feel real. It feels like swallowing a bomb and then just waiting. Waiting for your own self destruct..your own doom. This feeling is love, yes love, yes it exists, true love. Love hits hard love is the thing that hold you back from saying every word inside you, it changes you fully for better or worse. But love also saves you a little from yourself, from your own relief, from your own past but it mostly saves you from reality because love is nothing but an illusion until you experience it that is and that only happens once. You cant truly love twice because the first time you do, there's nothing else in the whole universe like it. you cant see yourself the same way, you cant love like that again because people only have one heart and once you give your heart to someone you cant get it back the same its damaged, broken, shattered even you cant trust someone with it again like you did the first time so when your time comes to love, to cherish.. hold onto to that string that attaches you to your person hold onto it.. hold on no matter what, hold on until the string cuts and burns your hands, hold this string with all god has given you until it breaks don't let go because you'll never get another string after all- this string, this love.. is all an illusion of the mind. When I think about love i think about breathing. Some times it comes easy how it flows through you chest but other times you can barely take a breath without it hurting, that's how love is though true love is never easy, its hard to love but in reality love is so very important it holds us together as a society, its like a rock it stays together, it has a bond. But sometimes that rock can break.. and when it breaks it doesn't break into just two pieces. No. its a million pieces like the heart after love is taken away.

The Weight of Parchment Dust
The air in the Grand Archive tasted of paper and time, thick and still. Elias ran a hand over the spine of a leather-bound tome, the cool, dry skin of the book a familiar comfort, a familiar curse. Seventy-three years. He’d walked these aisles, breathed this dust, cataloged these silent histories for seventy-three years. Every creak of the ancient floorboards, every rustle of a turning page, every cough from the lone night guard down the hall, they were whispers. Always whispers. Not from the living, no. From the dead. From the words themselves, accusatory, knowing.

How To Make Your Partner Feel Valued Every Day
Emotional connection and satisfaction in long-term relationships are crucial and depend on the feeling of valuation. Once the partners feel valued, they would feel that they belong, secure and that they are loved. Such an emotional identification helps to build intimacy, mutual respect, and general happiness in the relationship. On the other hand, resentment and distance as well as miscommunication may occur when one of the partners perceives themselves as undervalued. Recognizing the importance of appreciating one another on a daily basis will enable the couples to work on their relationship. Through deliberate actions to prove that one appreciates him and values him at all times, partners establish a space where the partners feel observed, listened to, and truly loved, which is essential to the continuation of the strong and satisfying relationship.

How To Build Stronger Bonds Through Active Listening Skills
Listening is not just hearing, but it is a deliberate process of listening to a partner to comprehend, empathize and intellectually respond to thoughts and emotions of a partner. It is the basis of emotional intimacy, trust and reciprocal respect in romantic relationships. In case partners are active listeners, they show that the feelings and views of the other party are important. Such attentiveness helps to establish a bond and minimize misunderstandings. Learning how listening affects the dynamics of relationships will motivate the couple to be more willing to engage with each other deliberately rather than merely talking about meaningless things, and making daily experiences an occasion to build the relationship.
