Please Hold for a Moment of Girl Talk. Top Story - November 2025.
I think there's something so special about girl friendships - the relationships that just feel so fruitful, the ones that refresh you and don't drain you, and the friendships that can pick up right where they left off, even if you're not physically close. These are the ones to hold on to and to really nourish. These are the types of friendships I'm intentional about giving my time and energy to.

Ambiverts of the World, Unite!
It used to be so easy and simple: You are either an extrovert (turn toward people, love social interactions, revel in being the heart of a party, thrive in large gatherings) or an introvert (a hermit who is terrified of the social interactions and would rather spend time with a pet, book, or a good movie, turning away from others and inward the self). Extroverts are energized by other people and interactions with them, while introverts recharge on and in solitude. Well, you know the drill - this personality dimension has been carved into us since childhood.

The Painter of the Alley
The narrow alley behind the old market was never quiet. Children played football with dented cans. Shopkeepers shouted over each other. The air smelled of spices, rain, and sometimes — faintly — of paint.

The Bridge at Sunset
Every evening, just before sunset, Farid walked to the old bridge at the edge of town. He had been doing this for months — always alone, always at the same time.

Halloween: The Night of Mystery, Costumes, and Community
Halloween, celebrated every year on October 31, is one of the most fascinating and widely recognized holidays in the world. It blends ancient traditions, religious influences, and modern pop culture into a single night filled with costumes, candy, and creativity. While many people see Halloween as a fun holiday for children, its history reveals a much deeper and symbolic meaning tied to fear, harvest, and the connection between the living and the dead.

The Bench by the River
The city never slept. Its streets were alive with blaring horns, shouting vendors, and the constant hum of a world in motion. People hurried through life, their eyes fixed on screens or deadlines, their ears filled with news and noise. In the middle of all this, Maya found herself exhausted.

“Every Woman Is Sex-Depraved”
