One Click, and My Past Was a Lie
I had never thought much about where I came from. I mean, I knew my roots—at least I thought I did. We were Irish on my mother’s side, Italian on my father’s. My grandfather fought in World War II. My grandmother made the best lasagna. It was the kind of identity you wear like a warm coat—comfortable, familiar, and passed down through generations.

The Hunger Games Trilogy: A Heart-Pounding Journey Through Courage, Love, and Revolution
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live in a world where watching children fight to the death is considered entertainment? Where the rich get richer while the poor struggle for their next meal? Where standing up for what's right could cost you everything you hold dear? Welcome to the world that Suzanne Collins created – a world that feels both impossibly distant and uncomfortably familiar.

“The Last Message I Never Sent”
I still have it—your last message. Unsent. Unfinished. Unspoken. It’s been over a year since we ended things, but that message still sits there in my drafts, frozen in time. I open it sometimes, just to remind myself how close I came to saying it all… and how far I was from actually doing it.

Trump’s African Summit: A Modern Display of Colonial Power
Trump’s African Summit: A Modern Display of Colonial Power On July 9, 2025, the White House became the stage for a troubling diplomatic theatre, as United States President Donald Trump hosted a mini-summit with the leaders of Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania, and Senegal. What was billed as a friendly summit about economic cooperation quickly revealed itself as a spectacle of domination and submission, raising critical questions about modern-day power dynamics between Africa and the West.

When the Rain Knew My Secrets
There’s something about rain that makes people honest. Maybe it’s the way it softens the world around us, washing away the noise, or how it gives us permission to pause. Or maybe it’s because, in those moments, we feel like the sky is crying for us—giving us the freedom to feel without explanation.

Duality and self-discovery in toxic patterns and love life
Human relationships often function as catalysts for self-awareness. Some connections offer stability, while others test the boundaries of emotional resilience and personal identity. My relationship with G belongs firmly in the latter category. It has not been linear, nor conventionally “healthy,” but it has been profoundly revealing — not only of him, but of myself.

Your product is not your business
Let’s get something straight: having a good product is not the same as having a successful business. That might sting a little. Especially if you’ve poured your energy, your weekends, and your savings into developing something great. Maybe it’s a killer app, a beautifully crafted piece of clothing, or a handmade skincare line that’s better than anything in Sephora.
