Friendship
The Forgotten Melody
Sophia had always been drawn to the old piano in her grandmother’s house. It stood in the corner of the dusty living room, untouched for years. Its once-polished wooden surface had dulled, and the ivory keys had yellowed with age. Yet, whenever she visited, she found herself tracing her fingers over the keys, wondering about the stories they once told.

The Last Letter
James Carter had never been particularly close to his grandfather, Richard Carter. The old man was quiet, reserved, and kept most of his past to himself. James had spent summers at his grandparents’ countryside home, but even during those visits, Richard never spoke much about his life before marriage.

The Last Love Letter
The Last Love Letter Eleanor sat quietly by the old oak desk, the flickering candlelight casting soft, dancing shadows on the walls of her study. The room, dim and cozy, was filled with the scent of lavender—his scent. The aroma wafted from the dried bouquet he had once brought her on their anniversary, now resting on the shelf above the fireplace. But it was the books surrounding her that anchored her in this moment. Their leather-bound spines seemed to echo the past, each page a silent witness to her love for James.

FEAR IN THINKING IS THIS ABILITY OR ILLNESS
In a bustling yet lonely city for a man named Benjamin, his life is filled with uniqueness that is difficult to explain to others. Since childhood, he has realized that his mind does not work like most people. His memory and understanding of the world are so sharp, as if his brain is an infinite storage, recording every event in detail that is impossible to forget. He can remember meetings 10 or even 30 years ago, complete with seconds, hours, and words spoken, as if it all happened yesterday.

The Millionaire's Dilemma: A College Tale of Struggles and Surprises. Part 2

Pixels and Coastlines
Chapter 1: Opposite Worlds Dylan adjusted the headphones on their head, fingers tapping methodically against the WASD keys. The glow of their dual monitors illuminated their bedroom in a soft hue, a stark contrast to the gray January skies visible through their Brooklyn window. Introverted by nature, Dylan had always found comfort in the quiet hum of their gaming rig and the sprawling open-world adventures of their favorite RPGs. In the digital realm, there were no awkward silences or fumbling small talk, just quests, battles, and the satisfaction of leveling up.

Strong
People are always telling me how strong I am, how resilient, how I always bounce back no matter the storm. I'm always told how brave I am and that I am looked at as people's hero for the way I just keep going through the hard no matter what as if I'm some unstoppable force. I'm always told I'll get through it because well, I always do and while yes, all these things are true and wonderful to be told; it's not easy. Yes, I do always rise from the dead, I do always keep going through the fire with gritted teeth but here is what you don't see...

An ode to being lost in life
Because when you just dream about it in your heart, work hard for it and believe in the universe to perform its magic, it conspires in the best-designated ways to make your dreams come true. I have always believed in the higher power, something beyond the fathomable vision of the human eye that beholds us, ties us to our purpose and protects us in times of uncertainty and dejection. It is comforting to know that some mighty and divine force beckons us in moments of need and sometimes all we need to do is let go and have faith. Life in its truest mirth often transcends through the truces of rationalisation and delusion, through the light of knowing exactly what to do and under the traces of pretence which hides the scariest part, not having a single clue as to where your life is going.
