The Peace That Came After Love
For a long time, Nora thought peace would feel empty. She imagined it as silence where laughter once lived, as space where warmth had been. She thought peace would be lonely, like standing in a room after everyone had left.

Civil-musings 3
So we keep learning about the past. New discoveries come to light. More and more, it seems, every day. I’d say there absolutely has been an increase in archaeological discoveries lately. Our capability only grows, along with our knowledge.

I Ate the Tail.
There are 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac that have ruled over each year as far back as the years span, and 2025 happens to be the Year of the Snake (or 巳 "si"), which also happens to be the animal of the year that I was born in.

💌 The Love That Was Enough
Not every love story ends with forever. Some end with understanding. And sometimes, that is enough. When people asked Emma about the great love of her life, she never knew how to answer. There was no dramatic breakup, no betrayal, no moment she could point to and say that’s where it ended. There was just a quiet realization, unfolding slowly, like a letter read too many times until the words finally settled.

Listening to Trees
I didn’t go into the woods looking for wisdom. I went because the city felt too loud in ways sound couldn’t explain. Sirens, screens, conversations stacked on top of each other—everything demanding attention, everything urgent, nothing patient. I told myself I just needed air. A walk. An hour without notifications.

His Love. Content Warning.
"Good morning Trist, my name is Dr. Reda and today I will be asking you a couple questions," a woman with long auburn hair sits across from the table. The cool touch of the table legs brush against my thigh as I lean back into my chair. I nod at her to continue, folding my hands onto my lap and start twiddling my thumbs.

Fighting Alcohol
Meet João, a 35-year-old man living in Sambizanga, one of the most violent and chaotic neighborhoods in Luanda. Here, life is harsh and opportunities are rare. Alcohol is everywhere. It is so common that an 8-year-old child can walk into any local store and buy drinks for their father, mother, or even an aunt without anyone stopping them. João grew up seeing his neighbors, friends, and family members drink every day. Over time, drinking became a part of life — almost a survival mechanism.
