Being a Birth Mother
When you search “birth mom articles" on search engines, you mostly find things written by adopted children. There isn’t much content for the birth mother who wants to find others like herself.

Joint Family or Legal Graveyard?
The question isn’t how that woman survived. The real question is—why didn’t she die? But then, an even more haunting question arises: why are we still alive? Because each of us has either witnessed a woman like her, lived her story, or silently watched someone else endure it. And we continue breathing, not out of strength—but because we’ve grown numb enough to keep living.

A collection of kindness
In a small, picturesque village nestled among rolling green hills and flowering meadows, lived a humble and kind-hearted family named the Andersons. Though their lives were far from easy and they faced frequent financial hardship, their hearts overflowed with generosity, compassion, and love for their neighbors. John and Mary Anderson lived with their two children, Emily and Daniel, in a modest, but cozy, thatched-roofed cottage with a vegetable garden in the back. John, a hardworking and resourceful man, worked tirelessly as a handyman, offering his skills to repair broken fences, leaky roofs, and creaky floorboards. Mary, gentle yet resilient, took on odd jobs around the village—cleaning, sewing, baking, and anything else that could bring in a little money to help make ends meet. Despite their limited means, the Andersons were widely respected for their unwavering integrity and their genuine desire to help others in need.

Life Is Like a River: Its Nature Is to Keep Flowing
Life, in its essence, is a continuous journey — ever-changing, ever-evolving, and ever-flowing like a river. The comparison between life and a river is both poetic and profound. Just as a river begins as a small stream and gradually grows, meandering through various terrains, so does life start from infancy, flowing through childhood, youth, adulthood, and eventually old age. It encounters challenges, obstacles, and beautiful moments along the way, but the most important thing is motion—the flow.

The Problem with Modern Sex Education
Modern sex education, in theory, aims to give young people the information they need to make healthy decisions about their bodies and relationships. It's supposed to cover topics like how our bodies work, how babies are made, how to prevent unwanted pregnancies, and how to protect ourselves from diseases that can spread through sexual contact. Ideally, it should also touch on important things like consent, respect, and healthy relationships.

The Last Breakfast With My Father
I never thought I’d miss the smell of burnt toast. It was always the same routine. Every Sunday morning, without fail, my father would wake up before the rest of us, march into the kitchen like a man on a mission, and completely destroy breakfast.
