How to Survive a Quarter-Life, Midlife, and Existential Crisis—All Before Lunch

Khopra Ridge Trek: A Symphony of Blisters, Bad Decisions, and Borrowed Hope
The Himalayas have a way of humbling you. Not with grandeur, but by handing you blisters the size of grapes and then laughing while you limp. When my friend Dave—a man whose life choices include tattooing his WiFi password on his arm—pitched Khopra Ridge as a “quiet, soulful escape,” I should’ve known better. But there we were: Dave, Sarah, Emma, and me, crammed into a jeep bouncing toward Nepal’s Annapurna region. Our gear? A drone Dave swore would “capture the soul of the mountains,” Sarah’s selfie stick (blessedly forgotten in Pokhara), and Emma’s apocalyptic stash of snacks. Our souls? Questionable.

The Love Languages You’ve Never Heard Of: Beyond the Famous Five

The following was the last message that appeared on the screen: "Will you fall asleep without talking today too?"

The Power of Silence: How Embracing Quiet Moments Transformed My Life
In a world buzzing with notifications, chatter, and endless digital noise, silence often feels like a forgotten language. For years, I ran from it, filling every pause with sound—music during commutes, podcasts while walking, videos playing in the background while I cooked, cleaned, or even showered. Silence, to me, felt empty. But it wasn’t until life forced me into a space where noise wasn’t an option that I discovered silence was never empty. It was full—of truths I’d long avoided, of emotions I hadn’t processed, and of healing I didn’t know I needed.
