Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.

My Grandmother’s Key Wasn’t for a Door
When my grandmother passed away, her house fell silent in a way I had never heard before. The ticking of the clock, once comforting, now sounded like a reminder — that time moves on, even when we don’t want it to.

The Lesson of Respect
The Lesson of Respect BY: Khan Nooria was a bright student in the seventh grade — intelligent, confident, and, perhaps, a little spoiled. Being the only child of her parents, she had always been the center of their world. Every wish of hers was fulfilled without delay; every demand was met with affection. Over time, this constant pampering made her a bit proud and dismissive of others. She had developed the habit of thinking she was better than everyone else around her.

The Backrooms of the Author's Mind. Winner in Maps of the Self Challenge. Top Story - October 2025.
Okay, okay, here me out. I want you to picture yourself like you in the screening room of a 1960’s big picture show executive preview. The one who gets the final say on greenlighting the project. The velvet curtains part and there’s color, but not too much color because it’s old film. You’re silhouetted and you take off your hat and hand it to the silhouette next to you.

A Map of What Stays. Top Story - October 2025.
There isn’t a map for leaving home. Not really. There are directions, sure—interstates and flight paths, the kind of routes that pull you away from everything familiar—but no one tells you how to find your way back, not to the place, but to the person you were when you left.

Born to Love, Rooted with Love
I believe everyone is born with love in their hearts. As humans, whether young or old, we all love someone, even if we don't love everybody. Many people who are born to love may encounter people who ruin the love they were naturally born with. This can be tragic, causing mixed feelings, and now the person must learn how to love again; the love is still there, but it's damaged. Even though the love is damaged, it's not gone because they still love family members or certain friends. Showing there is still love in the heart. I know some humans can be capable of hating others, but I believe it was taught or spread to them by others. Sometimes hate can be taught by parents. As a child, my parents never taught me to hate people. If I said I hated someone, it was because I heard someone say it, not because I knew what it means to hate someone. Growing up, I would hear other kids gossiping about how they hated their parents or other kids in school. I can't say I personally hated someone. I know what it feels like to dislike someone, but does that mean I have to hate the person? No, does that mean I choose to love people I dislike? In my opinion, yes, because I was born to love others and raised to love those who hurt me. I was never taught how to be mean or how to hate people.
