Extreme Heat Sweeps Across the U.S.: Millions Under Threat”
A powerful heat wave is sweeping across much of the United States, especially in the Midwest, the Southeast, and up along the East Coast. This heat wave is being driven by a heat dome, a weather pattern that traps hot air in one place for many days. With temperatures often soaring over 100 °F (38 °C) and humidity adding to the heat, this situation is putting millions of people at serious risk.

Secret Shame Phenomenon
Secret Shame Phenomenon We all carry something we don't talk about. A memory, a habit, a fear—buried deep under curated smiles and filtered selfies. We tell ourselves it’s “just a phase” or “not that serious.” But the truth? That secret, whatever it is, starts shaping you the moment you try to bury it.

Appearance VS Reality
To the world, Ava looked perfect. Flawless skin. Shining hair. The kind of face that made people stop in the street. Her laugh? Airy and contagious, the kind you’d hear in romantic movie trailers. Her Instagram? Curated like a lifestyle magazine—sunsets, beach waves, oat milk lattes, and friends in flower fields.

Never Reads This
If you're reading this, I asked you not to. But you are. So maybe it's already too late. You were never meant to read this—not really. I wrote it the way people scream into pillows, or whisper secrets to locked journals. I didn’t think anyone would care enough to find it. Or maybe I hoped someone would. Maybe I hoped you would.

Impacting Others, Happy or Brilliant, and Huggers
Impacting Others, Happy or Brilliant, and Huggers Amir was never the kind of guy people noticed twice. He walked with his head low, avoided loud conversations, and preferred to spend his evenings reading old books at the corner tea shop near Saddar. His world was small, quiet — and safe.

I Cut My Finger With a ‘Chainsaw’
"I Cut My Finger With a Chainsaw" I should’ve known better. But knowing better never stopped me from doing dumb things. It started as a lazy Saturday. My dad had left his old chainsaw in the garage, and I’d always wanted to feel the power of it in my own hands. I wasn’t planning to do anything reckless. Just a few small logs. Just to see what it felt like. Just to test myself.

We Don’t Talk Anymore, But I Still Know Her Birthday by Heart
It’s strange how the mind holds on to things even when the heart is trying to let go. I haven’t spoken to her in over two years. No texts. No calls. Not even a passive-aggressive like on a social media post. She’s just… gone. A ghost in my story. But every July 14th, without fail, my brain sends a silent reminder: It’s her birthday today.

I Carried Everyone Until I Couldn’t Anymore
They came to me when they fell apart. Friends, family, coworkers—even strangers who barely knew me beyond surface-level pleasantries. Somehow, I’d become a magnet for other people’s pain, the go-to person when things got messy. I never asked for the role, but I never rejected it either. Saying “yes” to others felt like proof that I mattered. It gave me purpose. And besides, strong people didn’t need help, right?

"The Grocery Store Wi-Fi That Changed My Life: How I Started Earning Online with Nothing But a Phone"
I still remember the night it all started. It was a Thursday, and I was sitting outside a grocery store, stealing free Wi-Fi with my old, cracked smartphone. I had no job, no money, and no real plan. But I had one thing — desperation.
