2026 Is Not the End — It’s the Turning Point
The first thing I felt when 2026 arrived wasn’t excitement. It was panic. I was sitting alone in my car, engine off, hands resting on the steering wheel, staring at the dashboard clock as the date changed. January 1st. A new year. Another reminder that time was moving forward—and I felt like I was standing still.

Why We Love People Who Hurt Us
Maya's phone lit up at 2:47 a.m. with a text from Daniel: "I miss you. I'm sorry. Can we talk?" She should have deleted it. Should have blocked his number months ago. Should have learned after the third time he'd disappeared without explanation, only to return with apologies and promises. Instead, her heart leaped. Relief flooded through her. He came back. He still wants me. By 3:15 a.m., she'd responded. By morning, they'd be back together. Again. And Maya would tell herself this time would be different, even though some part of her—some quiet, exhausted part she kept trying to silence—knew it wouldn't be. Daniel would be loving for a week, maybe two. Attentive, affectionate, everything Maya had been craving. Then slowly, he'd start pulling away. Texts would go unanswered. Plans would be canceled. He'd become cold, distant, critical of small things. Maya would panic. Try harder. Become smaller, more agreeable, desperate to bring back the version of Daniel who'd made her feel so wanted. She'd apologize for things that weren't her fault. Change herself to accommodate his shifting moods. Walk on eggshells trying not to trigger his withdrawal. And eventually, he'd leave again. Ghost her for weeks. Then return with another 2 a.m. text. And the cycle would repeat. Maya's friends couldn't understand it. "Why do you keep going back to him? He treats you terribly. You deserve better." Maya knew they were right. She knew Daniel was hurting her. Knew the relationship was toxic. Knew she should walk away and never look back. But she couldn't. Because as much as Daniel hurt her, she loved him. Desperately, painfully, irrationally loved him. And she had no idea why she couldn't stop.

For 2026 — Pay Balance!
Happy New Year, everyone. Her heart racing, Una banged on Lista’s apartment door loud enough to wake Satan. She didn’t show up for work last night and wasn’t answering her phone. When no response came, she used her spare key to let herself in. Shock set in when she entered the apartment and saw Lista sitting on the living room floor in a yoga pose, her back against the wall, crying. She was still wearing her work uniform the day before.

Crafting Your 2026 Success: A Roadmap to Consistency and Achievement
As one year ends and another begins, many of us pause to reflect. We look back at what we achieved, what we failed to complete, and what we promised ourselves but never followed through on. The end of a year is not just a change of dates on a calendar — it is a powerful psychological reset. And as 2026 approaches, this moment gives us a rare opportunity: the chance to design our life intentionally instead of living on autopilot.

Last Stop: Nowhere
Elias hadn't bought a ticket, not really. He'd just shuffled onto the last car of the rattletrap train, a ghost slipping through the turnstiles, a man already halfway to gone. No one stopped him. No one even looked. That suited him fine. The seat cushion smelled of something old and damp, like a forgotten dream. The window was streaked with grime, blurring the already grey world outside.

On Going Home And Why I Waited So Long
Illusions can be powerful. I lived and worked under one in particular for a long time, completely oblivious. It kept me in restraint, which stifled, but as per our physiological design controls, bodies and minds do what they do without a command prompt.

Another New Year...
It's the end of another year and just like the end every other year I hear people saying "New Year, New Me!" yet they don't do change. Maybe they'll try for a couple of weeks, but that rarely ever last. It always makes me think why do people bother...I've been so sick and tired of hearing that for so long. Or at least that's what I've always thought and felt. I never bothered, I've always just gone through life as it happens. Yes, I make plans and work on them, but at the end of the day, myself and my life are still the same...just like them. There's still about a week or so left in the year and with all of the times I've already started hearing people say it and post about how this coming year they WILL change...I haven't been as bothered by the statement.
