The Bridge Between Us
I don’t remember exactly when the bridge first began to crack. Maybe it wasn’t just one moment. Maybe it was thousands — soft, silent moments that fell like dust between us. Unnoticed, unspoken, until everything was covered in a quiet kind of distance.

Can Inner Stability Be Your Ultimate Shield?
When you're stable within, nothing external can truly shake you. Often, life is a psychological game. Others might try every tactic to make you anxious, panic, or impatient, hoping to induce poor decisions and lure you into their traps, ultimately aiming to replace or surpass you.

Can We Weather Life's Storms and Emerge Stronger?
Life inevitably presents us with challenges: the weight of daily pressures, the frustrations of work, the demands of study, and the anxieties of love. If you can navigate these difficulties, your path will become clear. If you find yourself unable to overcome them, time will ultimately teach you how to make peace with them, so there's no need to fear.

Milestones
Stones standing vigil Witness one destination Not lush adventures I’ve always been fond of the quest tale; enthralled with the idea that simply going to look for the Holy Grail was worthwhile even if you didn’t find it. Milestones are important measures–Hell, I have an entire business plan built out with month over month metrics I need to aim for in this writing endeavor, but it’s important to remember that, while they’re undeniably important, milestones often end up as dull bits of stone along the much wider road. Let them be your guides, not your destinations. The list of places to go in life always ends at six feet under. Take a second and enjoy the spaces in between.
