Tuesday Waiting Room, 4 PM
I’ve been here before. It was the unrealised trips to the GP that brought me here, to the UTC, over an hour's walk away from home. The GP instructs you to submit a form online at 8 a.m. and wait for a call from the doctor. The waiting time is uncertain, could be 10 a.m., 12 p.m., or even 4 p.m. You spend the entire day at home, with the anxiety rising through the roof, while your downstairs neighbours loudly change the oven. They once complained about you being noisy when the upstairs neighbours walked loudly in their flat for three hours straight while you tried to concentrate. It's unfair. A council officer wanted to talk to me during the downstairs loudness, and the only lifebuoy lied in this telephone appointment I was waiting for. That was a relief. He didn’t come back on Monday as per his anxious promise. He should check their records because I was the one who complained about the upstairs neighbour first. After months of being stepped upon, woken up at night and pulled away from my inner work. I hoped the situation would improve on its own. My nerves are still frazzled, despite my attempts to be nice and not complain. But it was just too much.

Political Chess: The Power Moves You’re Not Supposed to See
I’ve always had a knack for spotting patterns—seeing the bigger picture when others focus on the details. It’s not some mystical gift; it’s just how my mind works. Over time, I’ve come to realize that politics isn’t about governance—it’s about strategy. It’s a game where the rules are hidden, the players are controlled, and the public is kept in the dark. The problem? Most people don’t even realize they’re on the board.

Understanding Micro-Retiring: A New Trend for Young People
The desire to take a break from work is something that we can all identify with. Regardless of your passion for your work, there are always moments when the stress becomes too much to handle and the temptation to take a break becomes too strong. To maintain their sanity, this generation of workers is choosing to put their mental health above all else, even quitting their jobs. The term "micro-retiring" is what we call it. Last year, they were expected to surpass Baby Boomers in the American workforce for the first time, changing the dynamics of the workplace and the culture of the modern workplace. According to estimates, 13% of retirees intend to return to the workforce in large numbers in 2025. More younger workers are going into "micro-retirement" as the movement. What does the term "micro-retirement" mean, and how can employers adapt to these conflicting trends?

The Great Illusion: How 'Freedom' is Used to Control Us
The Illusion of Freedom What appears as freedom is, in fact, a carefully constructed illusion—a system that projects autonomy but subtly, or not so subtly, enforces limitations that prevent true independence. This manufactured freedom is wielded by those in control, who maintain power while convincing individuals and nations that they are self-determined.
