Bad habits
I Got My Boss Fired by Accident (And I Still Feel Guilty)
It All Started With a Simple Email It was just another ordinary Monday. The kind where you sip coffee, scroll through emails, and mentally prepare yourself for a full inbox and back-to-back meetings. That morning, an email popped up from our department head with the subject line: “Share Your Honest Feedback – Help Us Improve.”

Every country gets the leaders it deserves
In the same way we are all a product of our environment, leaders are a direct reflection of the society that produces them. Even though this title might seem harsh, it is painfully true. Bad leaders do not sprout out of thin air, they are enabled, tolerated, promoted and sometimes celebrated by the very people who suffer under them. Let's talk about why this happens, how do bad leaders emerge in different societies and rise to power.

Silk Paper and Side Eyes
There’s something comforting about writing by hand. The pen doesn’t rush me. It doesn’t interrupt or expect a performance. It lets me arrive as I am—unfinished, unpolished, uncertain. I’ve been journaling for years, mostly in solitude, mostly without any clear purpose except to stay connected to myself. But recently, I turned a few entries into something I could share online. And to my surprise, it felt good. Like I had taken something deeply personal and held it out in my palm—not to be admired but just to say, this is real.

The Shopping List. Top Story - April 2025.
Author’s Note: A shopping list might seem like a simple thing, but it often carries all the small balances we try to keep in life — between what we want, what we need, and what we dream of. This poem is a lighthearted reflection of my own everyday choices, sprinkled with a bit of humor and honesty.

The Weight of Tomorrow
The Weight of Tomorrow No one knew exactly when the city of Liora first began to dim. It happened slowly, like the silent falling of dust on an abandoned book. Some blamed the endless gray clouds that draped the sky like an old, heavy blanket. Others whispered of a "sorrow fever," a sickness of the spirit that had crept into their hearts.

Why Ghosting Happens and How to Handle It Like a Pro. AI-Generated.
We've all experienced it, or at least heard about it: the act of "ghosting." It's when someone we’re talking to, dating, or even working with just disappears without any warning or explanation. Ghosting can be painful and confusing, especially when it seems to come out of nowhere. Whether it's a romantic interest, a close friend, or even a colleague, suddenly being ignored can leave us questioning everything. But why does it happen, and more importantly, how can we handle it like a pro?

" When Everyone Left Me, I Learned To Love Myself"
There was a moment in my life when I looked around and realized—I was alone. Friends disappeared. Family became distant. Even the people I thought would always be there... weren’t. It was one of the hardest realizations I’ve ever faced.

I wish I had cut my friends earlier
I owe my success to the people around me, but when it comes to giving credit to my friends, that’s a little more complicated. The way they sabotaged my growth didn’t hit me until I took a step back and noticed the pattern. At first, it led me to loneliness — but it also gave me the space to reconnect with the people who truly mattered and helped me reach milestones I once thought were out of my reach.

The Weight of Worry
The Weight of Worry Twelve-year-old Sam was a worrier. He worried about everything. Big tests. Forgotten homework. Whether his friends really liked him. If the world was getting too hot. If his parents were going to fight again. If the dog had eaten something weird. If the power would go out during the night.
