Dad, I’m done . Content Warning.
Dear Dad, I can barely breathe, knowing you don’t want to be my father. Before you ask, this wasn’t a supposition. I reached out to you and you gave me all but the love I wanted, the acceptance; a promise that you would never make the same mistakes again.

Swan Song. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
Dear Narcissist, This is your swan song. This is the last time I shine a spotlight on you. The last time I sit in your audience, clapping and smiling and crying and dying. The last time I fall for the smoke and mirrors, the sleight of hand, the parlour tricks.

SpaceX Starship Test Flight Ends in Mid-Air Disintegration After Loss of Control
p On May 27, 2025, SpaceX’s highly anticipated ninth test flight of its advanced Starship rocket concluded in failure after the spacecraft lost control and ultimately broke apart over the Indian Ocean. Although the launch initially appeared successful and proceeded smoothly through the early phases, the mission was ultimately compromised by critical in-flight issues, resulting in the vehicle's destruction. This incident marks the third straight failure of the Starship program in 2025. However, SpaceX continues to maintain an optimistic outlook, viewing each unsuccessful attempt not as a defeat but as an essential step forward in its long-term mission to develop a fully reusable spacecraft capable of conducting ambitious journeys to the Moon, Mars, and even deeper into space.
