CaucAsian Part 1 CaucAsian Complexion As I write this, the United States is in turmoil. Everything in this country is, at minimum, a point of contention, and on average, one political movement from casualties. The public and the politicians question and debate every topic from those that shape individualism to those that shape grocery purchases. It’s scary and it’s dangerous. In so many ways. Recently, I’ve found myself reminiscing about the way I grew up. I realize now how naive I was at the time to not have noticed how different I am. And what a wonderful gift it is to be different.

Buried in Silence: The Children of Gaza
My name is Reem. I am ten years old. At least, I think I still am. We haven’t celebrated a birthday since the war started. Time doesn’t move the way it used to. Days blur into nights, and each one feels like the last day on Earth.

Challenge, Majority people don't know meaning of true love.

There’s a special kind of confusion that comes when the people who love you the most are also the ones who hurt you in small, invisible ways. Not because they want to — but because that’s the only language they know.

How to Stop Bringing Work Home
The line between work and personal life has not only blurred, it has often disappeared entirely. Slack pings echo into dinner, anxiety from home bleeds into client meetings, and we often find ourselves stuck in an endless loop of thinking about one thing while doing another. The result? Diminished focus, increased stress, and emotional exhaustion.

The Bench by the Lake
Every day for the past thirty years, Samuel had walked the same path down to the lake, just a few blocks from his small wooden house. He wasn’t the kind of man who needed much. A warm cup of tea in the morning, a light jacket on his back, and a good place to sit — that was enough for him.

Men Only Want One Thing and It’s Disgusting
You’ve heard it a million times. Men are simple. Men are selfish. There is only one thing that men desire. Hold on though because what if everything youve been told is false?
