Illusion
The rain had just begun to fall, a soft, hesitant drizzle, as if the sky itself was caught in a moment of reflection, unsure whether to unleash a torrent or simply weep gentle tears. Arjun sought refuge under the worn awning of a quaint bookstore, the kind of place that held the scent of aged paper and whispered secrets, a sanctuary filled with forgotten pages and echoes of old memories. He wasn’t there seeking escape from the rain's melancholy embrace, nor was he drawn by the silent promise of the books within. He simply craved silence—a rare and precious commodity in his usually bustling world.

The Things We Bow To
"The Things We Bow To" — A Story About Idolatry Long ago, in a sun-scorched land, temples towered over the hills like monuments to forgotten truths. People came from all directions—merchants, mothers, shepherds, soldiers—each bringing something to offer. They laid their sacrifices before carved statues with eyes that never blinked and mouths that never spoke. Some were made of gold, others of wood or stone, each one shaped to represent power, beauty, love, or strength.

The Silent Epidemic: A Story of Strength Amidst Struggle Among Australian African Women
Mental health is very difficult illness and complicated, different aspect of well-being that often goes unspoken, especially in communities battling invisible barriers. In Australia, the mental health crisis is becoming a glaring reality that no longer permits silence. Among its many population groups, women, particularly women of African origin carry an unrelenting weight on their shoulders, balancing societal expectations, professional obligations, and cultural responsibilities. It is a reality that reveals itself in private moments of quiet despair, yet echoes through households, families, and entire communities. Why, then, is this silent epidemic so pervasive? And more importantly, how can these women and the communities around them begin to shift the narrative?

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.

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.

The Morning I Missed the Bus—and Found My Way Instead
The Morning I Missed the Bus—and Found My Way Instead I was 17, late for school, and flying down the block in the middle of winter with half-frozen hair and a burnt piece of toast in my mouth. Classy. The yellow school bus came around the corner just as I was reaching the stop. I waved frantically, breath clouding in the air, but the driver didn't see. Perhaps he did, and just decided it was too late.
