One Rainy Receipt
One Rainy Receipt The rain had been falling since morning — a slow, steady drizzle that made everything look blurred, softened, and somehow lonelier. Maya sat by the window, her fingers wrapped around a cup of now-cold coffee. The scent of rain mixed with the faint bitterness of espresso, and she thought about how silence had its own kind of noise — the quiet hum that fills the space when someone is gone.

Keeping the Mind Young: Science-Backed Ways to Slow Brain Ageing
As we age, we often expect wrinkles, weaker bones, or slower movement — but what truly worries most people is the ageing of the mind. Forgetting names, losing focus, or feeling mentally fatigued can be frightening signs that our brain is changing. Yet, science is uncovering hopeful news: the brain is not a machine doomed to wear out. It’s a living, adaptable organ capable of renewal, repair, and growth at any age — if we give it the right conditions.

The Only Thing I Remember About School.
Most people I know can recall both happy and bad times at school. I recently discussed this with a friend who smiled as she told me about her favourite playground games, passing her exams, friends, boyfriends, lessons, and her most enjoyable pursuit of all time, chasing boyfriends. She also remembered getting into petty arguments in the playground and disagreements she had with teachers.

Your Body Definitely Keeps The Score . Top Story - October 2025.
That is one massive (albeit alarming) statistic. No wonder why we can all feel a bit f*cked up, or the world certainly does, if our garden has been watered accordingly, and all of the relevant weeds have been pulled out - metaphorically speaking of course. The author of the book by the same title (The Body Keeps The Score), Bessel van der Kolk paves the way for a grounding, heavy, eye opening yet awesome read into the human psyche; and (of course) trauma plays a significant role. All of our not so positive thoughts and setbacks to teach us lesson after lesson are all the epitome of trauma. This is why life can feel like smooth sailing for a small percentage of people; while for the majority of us, life is blighted with issue after issue, all thanks to the subconscious. (And that includes all of those circumstances in the opening image of this article.)

why getting what you want won`t make you happy. AI-Generated.
One of the hardest truths we all slowly realize is this: achieving the things we dream about rarely makes us truly happy. Sure, buying a car, getting a promotion, or moving abroad feels exciting at first—but that spark fades faster than we expect.

The Truth About Shadow
When I was really small and the world was really big and scary, I had an imaginary friend who I had become very reliant on. His name was Shadow and it was kind of a play on Peter Pan's Shadow, and how Peter always had to sew his Shadow back onto the soles of his feet. As a child, surrounded by other children who also loved Peter Pan, the pre-woke generation that didn't see the Racism depicted in it, I felt safe enough to bring my Shadow everywhere.

Truth as an Agreement Between Persons? . AI-Generated.
Truth as Personal Agreement: A Christian Reflection on Relational Truth What is truth? For many, it’s a fact. For others, a feeling. But I’ve come to believe truth is something deeper — a sacred agreement between persons, with God always present. In this reflection, I explore how truth is not just discovered, but entered into. It’s not static — it’s relational, covenantal, and alive. This paper is for anyone who’s wrestled with truth, faith, and the mystery of divine presence.
