Draft

Signed and Resigned
I just need enough to be solvent, but that may be hard without rescinding this letter and sacrificing my sanity To those reading my resignation while casually pushing policies that are supposed to impact our work culture, but they never do, I hope you find this letter. I seriously hope that after finding this letter you read it too.

SURVIVE . Content Warning.
It's always this way. Every. Single. Time. My mind is blank. But it isn't. So many things, but very little of them. Sigh. I feel like I've gained five years' worth of knowledge in these past few months. Great! But is it? Tell me—what exactly are the odds that I could somehow pull this off? That I could survive the overwhelmingly crippling anxiety and pain gnawing at me, ebbing into me from what, in this case, I'd like to assume is denial. The kind I somewhat hold onto. I can't succumb to this darkness. Not yet. Ahh! Yes! Survive! My latest mantra. The only thing—aside from God's mercy—that's keeping me from imminent insanity. It's become my codex. It has to. God, I miss the days when I could breathe freely, just be. It's sad I never knew I was free until I lost the freedom to be. Nowadays, I'm usually suffocating on the weight of my own thoughts. Everything reminds me why I could fail, why I would fail. Either way, I smile and push through because it's against the codex to do otherwise. As I continue on this path, I've come to realize that nobody really sets you up for this—the real world. No real warning. Now I understand the people who consider suicide. They have every reason to. Perhaps they need a new mantra—a rather effective one. Honestly, I feel it too—the tiredness, the will to be. Only in my case, it's a storm of anxiety and denial as I realize nobody really got me. It's okay. It's understandable. They must go through similar or worse stuff, right? Either way, whether or not I deny it, acceptance is born. I've come to understand that this is the me of now, and yes, I might fail, but I might also win. And damn right, I'll take that chance. How else do I meet my BTS bias? Lol. But I'll move, however little. And someday, I'll be again. Because I'll survive.

Pakistan's Response to Indian Air Strikes
Pakistan's Response to Indian Air Strikes. The recent Indian air strikes inside Pakistan have sharply escalated tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals which is called "operation Sindoor". In response to the Pulwama attack, in which a Pakistan-based militant group killed 40 Indian soldiers, India launched an operation in Balakot that it claimed targeted terrorist camps. The region was on edge as Pakistan denied significant damage and promised to respond. The big question now is how Pakistan will react—whether through diplomacy, limited military action, or something more severe.

A History of Revolution in Whispers of the Fire
A young girl by the name of Elara came across a worn leather-bound journal hidden beneath layers of dust and cobwebs in the quiet library of the old city of Lyon. It didn't have a title; all that was on the cover was a phoenix rising. When she opened it, the pages began to whisper stories and the scent of aged parchment filled the air. memories of the world's most powerful revolutions, not just any stories. The first whisper came from France, 1789. The journal described a world in which peasants starved outside of palace gates while kings lived in golden halls. A man named Jacques stood in the crowd at the storming of the Bastille, his hands trembling as he clutched a torch. A loaf of bread had cost the life of his brother. Jacques contributed to the demolition of not only the prison walls but also the appearance of royal divinity that night. The people rose, chanting “Liberté, égalité, fraternité!” as the monarchy crumbled and the seeds of democracy were sown in blood.

Unpacking White Lotus Season 3: Gorgeous Scenes and Frustratingly Familiar Tropes
For the last eight weeks, my morning routine has been to get up, make coffee, and mentally get ready for the upcoming episode of HBO's The White Lotus. It has evolved into a weekly immersion in opulence, dysfunction, and mortality rather than merely a viewing experience. I was optimistic, high, caftan-clad, sun-kissed aspirations about the upcoming show.
