The Robot Wife
Two Wives and No Peace Ahmed had been married twice. The first wife was a non-stop critic — from his socks to his soul, nothing escaped her sharp tongue. The second one barely spoke, and when she did, it was just to say, “Fine.” Both marriages ended in disaster. Either he was too complicated to understand, or perhaps, he never tried to understand anyone at all.

Why God Sent You a Dog
It wasn’t mere luck that brought a dog into your world. On that day when you felt most alone, those bright eyes appeared by your feet, waiting for you. Some might think of animals as just that—animals. But if you’ve genuinely loved a dog, you recognize the truth. You feel a sense of something special woven into their very being. Perhaps, just perhaps, they were sent to you for a purpose.

When Friends Become Family
I used to think "family" meant those who shared your last name, your childhood stories, and a seat at the holiday dinner table. That belief stayed with me for most of my life—until I found myself thousands of miles from home, surrounded by unfamiliar streets and a silence I wasn’t ready for.

The Quiet House on Elm ridge Lane
Every town has a house it whispers about. In Millbrook, that house was 47 Elmridge Lane. It sat at the edge of town like a secret someone tried to bury but forgot to dig deep enough. The yard was wild—thistles sprouting like sentinels, ivy crawling up the walls like green veins. The shutters hung crooked, sighing in the wind. And always, the curtains moved, even when no one was home.

Colon Cancer
Colon cancer, also known as colorectal cancer, affects the large intestine (colon or rectum) and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The most alarming fact about this disease is that it often begins with mild or almost invisible symptoms, which is why early detection is crucial. When caught early, colon cancer is highly treatable. Unfortunately, due to lack of awareness or delayed diagnosis, many cases are detected at later stages, when the disease has already progressed.

Understanding Food Poisoning
Food is an essential part of our lives, but when contaminated, it can become a serious health hazard. Food poisoning, also known as foodborne illness, occurs when people consume food or drinks contaminated with harmful bacteria, viruses, parasites, or chemical substances. While most cases are mild, some can be severe or even life-threatening, especially for young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.

Why African Parents Say ‘No’ When They Mean ‘Yes’ — A Cultural Decode
If you grew up in an African household, you’ve probably experienced this confusing moment: you ask your parent for permission or a favor, and their immediate answer is “No.” But if you listen closely, read the tone, or wait a moment, you realize that “No” often means “Maybe,” or even “Yes.”

When Food Became My Medicine: How I Escaped the Prison of Chronic Pain
When Food Became My Medicine: How I Escaped the Prison of Chronic Pain It was a Tuesday morning in March when I realized my body had become my enemy. The simple act of reaching for my morning coffee sent lightning bolts of pain through my joints. At 34, I felt like I was trapped in the body of someone twice my age. The chronic fatigue was so overwhelming that climbing a single flight of stairs left me breathless and defeated.

Hard Times
By adina When my family first told me that we were moving to England, I was devastated. The idea of leaving behind everything I had ever known—my friends, my school, my street, my entire way of life—filled me with fear. Albania had always been my home, and although life there was not always easy, it was familiar. I couldn’t imagine starting over in a completely different place, a country I had only seen on TV or heard about from relatives who had gone abroad.
