A New Life in the Fast Lane: Josh’s American Adventure Begins
Josh van der Haagen stirred awake to the clamor of workmen outside his new home, the late morning sun filtering through the opaque window of his bathroom. His body ached from the 16-hour flight from Europe, a discomfort even first-class luxury couldn’t erase. Stretching with a groan, he tried to cling to sleep, but the relentless noise won out. Resigned, he rolled out of bed, weaving through a maze of unpacked boxes and furniture to reach the shower. As hot water cascaded over him, he surveyed his new surroundings-his room and bathroom, meticulously crafted to match the 3D models he’d approved. The spacious house, a gift from his father, was one silver lining to this transatlantic upheaval.

Chapter VII: The Ontology of Silence
From every corner of experience quiet, in its variations, is the sound of existence itself, the sound of absence. Silence has varied qualities. Think about the silence of dawn in the woods where the light of day pierces the top of the trees each moment like God holding its breath a split second longer; unmistakably old silence vibrating with memories of a forming world. Or, consider the silence of the city at sleep, thick with human noise, its asphalt heating up from the day's activity, not yet dissipated, a whole inhabited unconscious simmering like neurons firing in synchronization. Or, think about the silence before storm, a stretch, poised like a bow-and-arrow, the sound of silence true, always an inevitability; and, then there is the silence after-storm the world emerged as if it was hollowed out from a gutting, shaken pure everything is deemed newborn

Breaking Free
*This is based on my story, but using different names. Ava was sixteen when she fell for the first time. It was the type of love she'd only read about—filled with butterflies, secret whispers, late-night conversations, and promises exchanged under the stars. Ryan filled every sense of completeness in her life; he made her laugh, made her feel special, and for the first time in her life, she felt really seen.

Busting the Biological Clock Myth: Empowering Women’s Choices
The most well-thought-out advice provided to women of this generation seems to be, "Have a baby when you are ready to raise one." But nobody discusses how to get there. One has to prepare for pregnancy only when one is ready financially, emotionally, and physically, as feminist discourses remind us. But due to your "ticking biological clock," this has to be done in a hurry. There was always pressure on women to bear children.
