Rising Beyond Limits
In a small village called Noorabad, where mountains hugged the sky and traditions ran deep, lived a girl named Areeba. Her family didn’t have much — a worn-out house, a few animals, and a heart full of worries. But Areeba had something more powerful than wealth. She had dreams — wild, bold, and untamed.

Setting Boundaries Isn’t Mean…It’s Survival. Top Story - April 2025.
I’ve always known how to set boundaries. It’s not something I had to learn from a book or therapy session; it’s something that came naturally to me as a form of self-preservation. From the time I was a quiet two-year-old trying to watch a movie in peace, I knew how to defend my space, even if I wasn’t speaking much yet. My uncle kept pestering me, annoying me with taunts, pushing for a reaction And he finally said, “You look like a pig in the face.” and little two-year-old me, fed up and done, replied: “Well, if I look like a pig in the face, then you look like garbage.”
