The Weight of Nostalgia — Why the Past Pulls Us So Hard
Nostalgia is one of the most powerful feelings a person can experience. It’s that sudden wave that hits you when an old song plays, when a memory suddenly pops into your mind, or when you see a picture from a time that felt easier, lighter, or even magical. People talk about nostalgia like it’s sweet — but the truth is, it’s a bittersweet emotion, a mixture of happiness and sadness at the same time. You smile because it happened, and you ache because it’s gone.

Signs of a Fake Long Distance Relationship You Keep Excusing
Long distance relationships can feel intense, emotional, and deeply personal. When they are real, they create trust, consistency, and shared growth across miles.

Working with people you disagree with
Being in a closed circle of friends shields us from opposing ideas, our friends are generally people we agree with or who would be willing to go along with our ideas or even convince us otherwise. There are only very few places where we meet opposing points of views, the few I can think of are; at work, siblings or random strangers. This means that we often don’t get to work with people we disagree with, for strangers we only work with them for a limited time, with siblings we have parents to mediate and often go separate ways during disagreements, at the workplace we have a clear hierarchy for decision making. This means that the average person doesn’t know how to work with people they disagree with.

Hermes and Other Things
It's January 1, 2026 and I rang in the new year smelling like my old self. I bought a bottle of perfume on my inaugural visit to the Magnificent Mile back in 2017. I really didn't have money to spend on expensive perfume. I’d just moved to Illinois from Louisiana and all my old problems would be arriving with my household goods and furniture soon enough. But as I walked through Neiman Marcus in downtown Chicago I felt like I deserved something that said look ma, I made it! I wandered around the summer displays and eventually ended up in cosmetics where this super slender woman dressed like she had just attended the funeral of someone famous or powerful basically assaulted me with scent. Galop d’Hermes.
