What lives in the Spaces
Sylvie understood she was in her childhood kitchen without seeing a single tile or cabinet. The knowledge sat heavy in her chest—the weight of recognition without image. She could feel the warmth radiating from where the afternoon sun should be hitting the breakfast table, though no golden light painted her dream-vision. Then, like a camera suddenly focusing, fragments began to appear—a flash of yellow curtains swaying in peripheral vision, the gleam of chrome on the old refrigerator handle catching light that shouldn't exist.

Do You Love Yourself?
Stop having to be right, correcting others, giving advice without being asked, complaining, or telling people what they "should" be doing. Take a breath, look in the mirror, and say, I love you. Say that every day until it becomes a natural part of your repertoire to respect your boundaries, your body, and your mental health. Allow others the dignity to respect theirs.

Travelers at JFK and LaGuardia have long complained about a strange sensation- an uneasy calm that washes over them in the busiest terminals. For years, it was brushed off as exhaustion or coincidence. But a recent leak from an acoustics survey suggests something else entirely: a low, engineered hum embedded into the soundscape of public spaces.

Echoes in the Void: Finding Connection in a Disconnected World
There are moments in life when silence feels heavier than words. You sit in a room filled with noise—buzzing notifications, endless scrolling feeds, voices from a screen—but inside, there is only stillness. It is the kind of silence that does not soothe but suffocates.
