Whether written centuries ago or just last year, literary couples show that love is timeless.
The First Time We Breathe
I don’t remember the first time I breathed. No one does. Yet somehow, it defined everything that followed. That first cry wasn’t just air filling lungs—it was existence announcing itself. And from that moment onward, every “first time” became a thread in the tapestry of being human. We stumble, we reach, we burn, we break—and we become.

The Boy Who Refused to Blink
I. The Child: Born Guilty The boy was born on a Tuesday—a day his village called Damnation’s Dawn. His mother bled silence, and the doctor wore no gloves. The hospital bed was cold; the window open in winter. They say he didn’t cry when he was born. They say he blinked once, then never again.

Understanding Blindness
Understanding Blindness: How to Support a Blind Person in Their Life Imagine waking up in the morning and not being able to see the sun shining through your window, the color of your clothes, or the faces of the people you love. For many people who are blind, this is part of their daily life. Being blind means not being able to see, or having very limited sight. While this can make some things harder, it does not mean a blind person can’t live a full, happy, and successful life.

It sounds like a paradox: why do we fall hardest for the people who hurt us most? Why do we stay when we know we should leave? And why do we find ourselves craving attention from those who give us the most pain? The answers lie deep within human psychology, early emotional conditioning, and the way love and trauma often intertwine.

I Scattered Fragments in Every Farewell
Each goodbye is a splinter, a shard of my heart left behind in the wake of parting. I’ve said farewell to friends, lovers, and places, each one carving a piece from me, like leaves falling from a tree in autumn’s chill. Yet, in those tender losses, I’ve found a quiet strength, a mosaic of memories that shapes who I’m becoming. This is my song of farewells, woven from sorrow and hope, a testament to the beauty of letting go.

Why People Return to Toxic Relationships
Toxic relationships are complex and heart-wrenching. Despite the undeniable pain, many individuals find themselves repeatedly drawn back into these harmful dynamics. Rather than a simple matter of weak will or poor decision-making, returning to a toxic partner is often a manifestation of deep-rooted psychological patterns, emotional dependencies, and a yearning for familiarity—even when familiar means suffering.

The Window with the Yellow Curtains
The apartment across the street had always been empty. I could see the entire structure from the window in my bedroom: sun- and time-worn brick, chipped and crooked balconies, like teeth that had forgotten how to bite. However, a particular second-floor window stood out. The bright yellow curtains had been drawn shut for a long time.
