Why an Older Woman-Younger Man Relationship Can Work So Well
Age really is just a number, and this is becoming truer as we move toward a greater cultural embrace of aging gracefully and the possibilities of longevity. For most men, this is an agreeable sentiment—the older man-younger woman dynamic has been accepted as normal for generations.

The Secret I’ll Never Tell: How I Destroyed a Happy Marriage. Content Warning.
Around the time I out of high school, I had a very good friend who I hoped to one day became my girlfriend. Long story short, it never panned out — I was too shy and unsure of myself. On the day I planned to try to move things forward, she started showing a great deal of interest in some guy we met, and I lost my courage. This was devastating to me, and I lost the last shred of self-confidence. Soon after we lost contact after I moved to another city.

A Journey Through Pain to Strength
I have a story to share. It is one of pain and resilience. There are moments in life that you can prepare for. Yet, there are also moments that hit you unexpectedly, like a ton of bricks. I faced one of those moments when I was just 16 years old.

The Enchanted Bloom of Wonders
In a sun-kissed meadow, where wildflowers swayed gently in the breeze, a curious boy named Kava wandered through the grass, his bright green eyes scanning the ground for hidden treasures. His curly brown hair bounced with each step, and the warm sunlight danced across his face, illuminating his infectious smile. Kava loved nothing more than exploring the outdoors, discovering secrets that lay just beyond the edge of everyday sight. As he made his way deeper into the meadow, he stumbled upon a hidden path he had never seen before – a path that seemed to whisper his name.

An open letter to the ones who are scared of how they might be perceived
An open letter to the ones who are scared of how they might be perceived. What if people think I am too weird or ecstatic to be around as a person? What if others think I am too much, too much passion, too many emotions, too strong, too opinionated, and not a cool person to hang out with? I wish I could say that I haven't said that, I am oblivious to feeling insecure, bothered or sabotaging my self-belief from time to time. But truth be told, it is only humane of me to be concerned about how I might be perceived in the minds of others. If you relate to this, I am writing this letter to you, my imperfect fellow being. In the most vulnerable and painstaking way, we all are not immune to the negativity and limiting beliefs of ourselves and others.

Family Matters
Entering adulthood has been a relatively smooth experience for me, largely because I have focused on learning from those who came before me to avoid making the same mistakes. However, it turned out to be much more difficult than I initially expected, primarily because I was resistant to the conclusions of the lessons passed on by others. Over time, I found myself coming to the same conclusions, which is why I no longer resist those lessons. Key lessons include choosing friends wisely, not trusting too easily, and protecting one’s reputation. I often let my emotions lead me down a different path, believing my friendships would be different or thinking we were smarter than our parents, so we wouldn’t fall into the same traps. However, life has reminded me that while time may pass, human nature remains consistently the same.

The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance
The Warm Embrace of Self-Acceptance It takes years to build your trust but it takes a moment, a simple rustle of words through the air, a singular action that dwindles the faith we have in someone. Life has always had its flair of shedding and unwavering our realities with the ones we need to embrace, of robbing us of the sturdy land of certainty and plopping us into the ocean of the unknown, stumbling us into the blatant truth of existential being, making us learning the lessons the hard way.

Let’s break down why inflation can actually be beneficial.
Inflation is a complex issue that affects many aspects of the economy. In 2022, the world witnessed unusually high inflation rates. In the U.S., U.K., and Eurozone, these rates peaked at around 10%. This means that, on average, prices had increased by 10% compared to the prior year. Many people who observed the situation were not surprised. Thankfully, inflation has since moved closer to a normal range, though it still remains somewhat elevated. However, it’s important to clarify that the data showing a decrease in the rate of inflation does not indicate that prices are falling. Instead, it suggests that prices are rising at a slower pace. This is a disappointing reality for consumers.
