Friendship
Behind Smiles
Behind Smiles You see her every day. She's the kind of person who makes others feel lighter just by entering the room. Her smile is radiant, her laugh contagious. She remembers birthdays, sends late-night encouragement messages to friends, and cracks jokes even during tense meetings. Everyone calls her "sunshine." She's the one people lean on when things go wrong.

She Was My Best Friend for 20 Years — Until I Found Out the Truth About Her Past
When a Stranger Becomes Your Person We met in college, in one of those large, echoing lecture halls where nobody really knows anyone unless they make the effort. Emily chose the seat next to me because every other seat had been taken. I remember she smiled like she already knew a secret about me. It was disarming. She borrowed a pen, cracked a joke about the professor’s monotone voice, and by the end of class, I knew I wanted her to be part of my life.

Second, that changed everything
In the middle of the city’s chaos, under the glow of neon lights bouncing off the wet streets, there were Lily and Mark. A young couple, totally head over heels for each other.

The Day I Finally Stood Up for Myself
I remember the exact moment it happened. I was standing in the living room, phone in hand, heart racing, stomach twisted in knots. I was about to do something I’d spent most of my life avoiding: I was going to stand up for myself.

“The Empty Chair: The Story We All Live But Rarely Speak Of”
It always starts the same way. The morning light streams in through half-open blinds. The house is quiet, unnervingly so. There's toast left uneaten on a chipped plate, a coffee gone cold, and a single chair—empty.

I Ghosted My Best Friend—And I’m Not Sorry
We became best friends at 14. She had the kind of laugh that turned heads in the cafeteria, and I was the quiet kid who always had her nose in a book. We were opposites—loud and shy, chaos and calm—but we fit. She brought me out of my shell; I gave her someone who truly listened.
