The Day I Sat Beside Arya Stark — And Stayed Silent
He boarded the Berlin metro the same way he always did — quietly, carefully, keeping his head low. He blended into the crowd like a shadow, a face nobody remembered, a presence nobody noticed. For most people, a metro ride was just a routine. For him, it was survival.

The Girl on the Metro: How a Random Photo Turned Into the Internet’s Favorite Fairy Tale
The metro car rattled softly as it cut through the grey morning of Berlin — a normal Tuesday, the kind no one remembers. Commuters stood hunched over their phones. A few stared out the window, letting the cold light wash over their faces. No one paid attention to the young woman sitting quietly near the door, a hood covering most of her hair, a backpack resting against her knees.

Embracing the Winter Ritual - A Personal Journey
On a typical cold winter morning, drowsiness still overwhelms me. It's not easy to remove the blankets from me, as the cold cuts through the bones. So, I stay wrapped up in the blankets for a while, feeling the temperature slowly increase. When the temperature is not so cold and frosty, then I say, it's time to get up.

Michael Savage on Why Christmas Inspires Gratitude
Christmas comes each year with warm lights, familiar songs, and a sense of quiet reflection that softens people. It is a season filled with memories, family traditions, and moments that remind us of what truly matters. Many people feel more appreciative during this time of year, even if life has been stressful or demanding. Writer Mike Savage, a New Canaan resident, often says that Christmas encourages people to slow down and notice the good around them. Gratitude becomes easier to feel because the season inspires connection, warmth, and generosity.

Poet Lord Byron: From Scandal to Sacrifice
Few figures in literary history are as compelling and contradictory as George Gordon Byron, known to the world as Lord Byron. Born into the English aristocracy in 1788, Byron inherited a title and wealth, yet his life would be defined as much by scandal as by privilege. A childhood marked by physical challenges, including a clubfoot, left him both self-conscious and fiercely independent, shaping a personality that alternated between charm, charisma, and a streak of recklessness. From his earliest years, Byron displayed the restless energy that would make him both the darling and the scandal of English society.

Living Your Truth
"The world we see is but a shadow; the true world exists in a higher dimension." — Plato In the past, humans lived in a two-dimensional world, seeing only shadows on the cave wall and believing that to be the entirety of reality. However, when they stepped outside the cave, they discovered that the shadow was merely a projection cast by the sunlight on their bodies, and the world was, in fact, three-dimensional. Does this mean that what we perceive as reality is just the interior of another, larger cave? If we continuously break through the boundaries of cognition, might we discover an even vaster world outside? Human exploration is infinite, and what we call "reality" might just be layer upon layer of shadows.

How a Small Act of Kindness Changed My World
How a Small Act of Kindness Changed My World BY: Khan I used to believe that life changed only through big events—graduations, promotions, heartbreaks, or miracles that arrived dramatically. But the truth is quieter than that. Sometimes, the entire direction of your life shifts because a stranger pauses for a moment and chooses kindness. My world changed because someone I barely knew decided to show me humanity when I needed it the most.

Find Your Light in the Darkness
Light is a form of energy that allows humans to see, and we rely on it to function. Having less light during the day affects many people. Some even develop depression from this lack of sunlight through a condition called S.A.D (Seasonal Deficit Disorder).
