Hamlet was a jerk!
For all intents and purposes, it seems clear that Hamlet was a dick. Growing up in a household steeped in extravagant wealth and privilege (he was the crown prince of the kingdom of Denmark), Hamlet epitomized what modern progressive thought may label as the “1%.”

For 2026 — Listen To Your Calling
In a conversation with Dr. Gabriella Korosi, I was inspired by our upcoming book about Dreams and Callings. At this time of the year, everyone starts paying more attention to their lives and purpose, wondering whether they are living the way they should. Some want to know or live what their true calling is. Often, life calls, but many people don’t listen. Some hear, but don’t like what they see facing them. Others are afraid because of how family and friends will perceive them. Some respond, and some are just terrified of the possibilities.

I’m Stronger Now, But I Still Have Bad Days
BY WAQID ALI I used to think strength looked a certain way. I thought being strong meant waking up motivated every day. It meant having answers. It meant never needing help, never doubting myself, never falling apart over things I had already survived.

Finish the Year With Courage, Not Regret
By the time December arrives, the noise gets louder. End-of-year summaries. Achievement posts. “Best year ever” captions scrolling past while you lie awake at night, wondering where the months went. I remember one December evening vividly—sitting alone on my couch, lights off, phone glowing in my hand, feeling an ache I couldn’t name. The year hadn’t destroyed me, but it hadn’t fulfilled me either. And that quiet disappointment hurt more than failure ever did.

Looking back: 2025 was a beast
It's hard to know where to begin with this. I've perhaps given a hint that it's been a bit of an ordeal from my title, and in most respects, it has; on the other hand, there's the case to be made that it really hasn't been so out of the ordinary at all, just this amazing thing called "life" with its highs and its lows.

The Weight of White
The city, a beast that never slept, usually growled outside Elias’s window. Tonight, though, the beast had fallen silent. Not a whimper, not a rumble. Just a thick, heavy quiet that pressed against the glass, making his ears ache. He’d been sitting at his kitchen table for three hours, staring at a half-finished story, the cursor blinking on the screen like a judgmental eye. He felt hollowed out, wrung dry, like a dish rag left in the sun too long.
