The War on Order
We live in a time when doing the right thing often feels like an act of rebellion. When honesty can ruin a career. When decency is mocked as naïve. When standing for truth invites hatred, censorship, and isolation. Somehow, the people who uphold virtue have become the villains in the story of modern culture.

The Death of “Live and Let Live”
There was a time when “live and let live” actually meant something noble. It meant respecting each other’s differences, coexisting in peace, and not forcing our personal views onto our neighbors.

When Being Seen Feels Like Breathing
There are days I feel as though I only exist when someone says, “You did well.” When someone notices my effort, something inside me lights up — I feel alive, like I finally matter. But when there’s silence, I start to shrink. I feel invisible, as though everything I do has quietly lost its meaning.

A Blink of the Past
I stare into the dog’s single remaining eye and long for the past. Thea used to have the most beautiful ice-blue eyes — eyes that conveyed more expression than I’d ever thought possible in a dog: joy, spunk, peace, audacity… eyes that could tell me almost exactly what she was thinking at a given moment.
