“The Girl Who Spoke in Rain light”
The Girl Who Spoke in Rainlight By [Ali Rehman] There once was a girl who cried beautifully. When she wept, her tears didn’t fall like water — they shimmered like melted glass, each drop catching light in a thousand quiet colors. The villagers said her sadness sang; that her sobs were symphonies, and her tears, rainlight.

Vibe Culture: How Content Has Shifted from Trends to Moods
Introduction — From Viral to Vibes Once upon a time, the internet was obsessed with what’s trending. Remember when every few days brought a new dance challenge, hashtag, or meme that everyone just had to join? You’d open Instagram or TikTok, and your entire feed would be filled with the same thing — different people doing the same moves, repeating the same jokes, remixing the same sounds.

When Love Hurts: Boundaries in a Relationship Heal
Love can be a beautiful bond that nurtures connection, trust, and intimacy—but when boundaries are blurred or ignored, even the strongest love can become a source of pain. Boundaries in a relationship are not walls; they are healthy limits that preserve respect, individuality, and emotional balance. For Gen Z navigating modern relationships, setting boundaries has become more important than ever—especially in an era where constant communication and digital connection blur emotional lines.

Control Without Accountability
Control is not leadership, and leadership is not control. In a healthy relationship, influence is earned through respect, not demanded through manipulation. Yet modern relationships often suffer from a quiet imbalance: one person wants to make the decisions but refuses to bear the responsibility for the outcomes. That imbalance destroys trust faster than any act of betrayal, because it replaces partnership with hierarchy and love with resentment.

Why Everyone Wants to Be “Real” Online, but No One Is
In today’s world, everyone talks about being “real” online, posting their true selves, and showing authenticity, but the truth is, most of us are far from real. Social media has created a culture where likes, comments, and shares define our value, and people carefully craft every post to appear relatable, successful, or perfect. Even when someone claims to show their struggles, it is often filtered, staged, or edited to gain approval.

The Death of Wonder: How Modern Media Teaches Us Not to Feel
There was a time when wonder came easily. When a song could stop us in our tracks, when a sunset felt like a miracle, when stories stayed with us long after the final word. But now, in the age of endless scrolling and constant content, it feels like wonder has quietly died. We live in a world where everything is designed to grab our attention, but very little is made to touch our hearts. Modern media, with its quick fixes and viral distractions, has trained us to feel less — to consume more and care less — until we no longer know how to sit with real emotion.

The Truth Reflected Through Another Lens
For more than a century, photographs have stood as the gold standard for what is real, serving as the world’s collective proof of authenticity. A camera was the vessel through which truth was captured, a silent witness to time. Yet the rise of artificial intelligence has disrupted that assumption, not by erasing reality, but by reframing it. When we see an AI-generated image, our instinct is often to dismiss it as fake. We assume that because a camera was not involved, the image cannot be trusted. But that confuses process with meaning. The truth of an image does not depend on the tool that created it. It depends on who or what it represents.
