Trade Indices and Forex Together: 2026 Strategy & Tools
The trading environment has changed greatly in the past few years. Instead of being able to sit on one pair of currencies and disregard the rest of the world, gone are those days.

Gentle Defiance in Leaves and Roots
From an early age, I've felt most grounded surrounded by nature - the green sights, verdant smells and crisp rustling of leaves. Through my teens and early 20s, you'd likely find me perched upon a park bench cradled between a green canopy and glassy lake. Save for the occasional tweet or soft ripple of water, all was still. And, my overactive mind was still.

The Moon Landing:
In the summer of 1969, the world held its breath as three men rode a pillar of fire into the sky, carrying with them the weight of a global rivalry. The Moon landing was not just a scientific mission; it was the Cold War’s greatest gamble. For more than a decade, the United States and the Soviet Union had been locked in a silent war of prestige, ideology, and technological power. The Soviets struck first, launching Sputnik in 1957 and sending shockwaves through the West. They followed with the first human in space, Yuri Gagarin, proving their dominance beyond Earth. The United States, shaken and embarrassed, responded with an audacious promise. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy declared that America would land a man on the Moon and return him safely to Earth before the decade was out. At the time, the nation barely had the technology to keep an astronaut alive in orbit. Failure was not just possible; it was likely. Yet backing down would mean conceding the future to a rival superpower. The Moon became the ultimate symbol of victory. What followed was an immense national effort known as the Apollo program, employing over 400,000 people, from elite scientists to factory workers, all racing against time, physics, and political pressure. The cost was enormous, and the risks were deadly. In 1967, a fire during a ground test killed three astronauts, a grim reminder that this gamble demanded lives as well as money. Still, the mission pressed forward. By July 1969, Apollo 11 stood ready. Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins launched aboard Saturn V, the most powerful rocket ever built, knowing that every stage of the journey could fail. As they traveled nearly 400,000 kilometers through space, millions watched on television, united by hope and fear. When the lunar module Eagle descended toward the Moon’s surface, alarms sounded, fuel ran dangerously low, and control nearly slipped away. With seconds to spare, Armstrong took manual control and landed in an uncharted area, uttering the words, “The Eagle has landed.” Hours later, as Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface, his words echoed across the planet: “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” In that moment, the United States achieved what once seemed impossible. Yet the victory was more than a flag planted in lunar dust. It demonstrated technological mastery, coordination on a massive scale, and the power of human ambition under pressure. For the Soviet Union, it marked a quiet defeat. Though they continued space exploration, they never reached the Moon with a human crew. The gamble had paid off for the United States, reshaping global perception and tipping the symbolic balance of the Cold War. But the Moon landing was not the end of the story. It raised profound questions about exploration, cost, and purpose. After six successful landings, public interest faded, funding declined, and humans stopped going to the Moon in 1972. Still, Apollo 11 endures as a defining moment in human history, a reminder of what can be achieved when fear, rivalry, and imagination collide. The Cold War was fought with weapons, words, and ideologies, but on the Moon, it was won with courage, calculation, and a leap into the unknown.cost, and purpose.

2026: The dumpster is already on fire.
One month in and I'm over it. If you live anywhere with the internet or you exist in a society(??), then you know the past year or so has been nothing but pure shit. It seems like the world is experiencing mass psychosis, and we are closing our eyes and hoping things will fix themselves. Now, I am no conspiracy theorist. In fact, I'm the complete opposite, but I can't help but wonder what the fuck is in our water.

Healing isn’t loud
Healing isn’t loud. It doesn’t always arrive as light or clarity or sudden peace. Sometimes it’s just staying. Staying when every part of you wants to run. Staying when silence feels heavy.

This is for the ones who didn’t break but woke up. For those who lost themselves in the dark and discovered that it was an initiation, not an ending.
