The Soul of the City
A working-class neighborhood is more than just a collection of crowded buildings and narrow alleys; it is the beating heart of a city, a living museum of traditions, and a fortress of human solidarity. While modern gated communities prioritize privacy and silence, the working-class neighborhood thrives on noise, movement, and the constant intersection of lives. It is a place where the walls are thin, but the bonds are thick.

How to be a mother
Step 1: Have a baby. Sounds simple, right? It’s not. For some of us, it takes years, surgeries, miscarriages, hormone treatments, and a lot of patience you didn’t know you had. Every small success feels monumental. Every setback feels like the universe is testing you. And yet, when that tiny human finally arrives, the struggle suddenly seems worth it… even if only for a few blissful minutes before reality hits.

Painted Glass
We were four children born into different houses, the same parents but somehow raised in four different ways. That’s what people don’t understand when they hear us tell our stories. They think the truth should sound the same, that our memory should walk a similar line. But memory fractures. It bends around pain. It chooses what it can carry.

Embrace 2026 Don’t Fear It
Embrace 2026 Don’t Fear It Do not step back from the edge of the year. It is not a cliff, it is a doorway wide. The days ahead are not sharpened with threat. They wait like hands that have learned how to hold. You have survived heavier nights than these. Carried years that asked far more of your heart. This year does not come armed with your past. It comes empty, asking what you will place inside. Let the number pass without flinching or doubt. Time is not hunting you down. It walks beside you, steady and calm, keeping pace with who you have become.

Every 4th Sunday
Gather your thoughts and stuff them into your pockets with your cold hands. Burrow your head between your shoulders and smother your feelings with the warmth of your gifted, cotton scarf. The same one you always wear at this time of year. The one she gifted you on her last Christmas.
