School
The Time I Accidentally Took a Girl to Prom. AI-Generated.
At least, it wasn't supposed to be. My secondary school was an international school, and every year we had a prom. By the time I reached Form 5, I figured I might as well go. Most of my friends were attending, and it felt like one of those experiences you were supposed to have before graduating.

The World in a State of Rising Tension
The World in a State of Rising Tension In today’s world, the sense of global security feels more fragile than it has been for many years. Ongoing wars, regional conflicts, and political tensions are creating an atmosphere where many people believe the world is moving into a “dangerous mode.” One of the most discussed and sensitive conflicts contributing to this situation is the Israel–Palestine conflict, which continues to affect not only the Middle East but also global politics, economics, and public opinion.

Confessions of a Dynamically Disabled Academic. Top Story - May 2026.
E is my oldest friend. We reunite at a coffee shop that sits in the shadow of a Costco. We both make ourselves small. She, cross-legged, intent, like a therapist witnessing a breakthrough. I, huddled and fidgety, attempting to mimic sturdiness.

It’s These Damn Phones! How Modern Technology May Be Hurting Our Youth
The Paradox of Connection I recently watched a TikTok video from someone in the education field expressing an immediate and noticeable decline among the youth in the academic space. Quite frankly, I can agree! While technological advancement has delivered great benefits, a growing number of educators are raising concerns about its impact on the youth. They are observing an increasing concern that the disadvantages of digital immersion are beginning to outweigh its benefits. A concern not merely a generational gap in understanding, but an unusual epidemic impacting the cognitive abilities, social skills, and mental health of the next generation.

Ways To Nourish The Soul
No one matters. Children or young people out there, you will learn this later, but it's better to learn this now, is self-confidence. It does not matter what anyone thinks of you. What does matter is what your parents think of you, what your best friend only thinks of you, what your siblings think of you, and what you think of yourself. There's maybe like five people on that list. No one matters. Your happiness is in your own hands. You cannot get it from anywhere else. Only you have the power. Remember to be kind. Be the one that is the savior of the bullies. Be the one that is confident to go without makeup somewhere or didn't get time to dress up and go to a party. Enjoy the moment. Don't care about what you're wearing and who thinks what you are because I swear to God when you're older, you'll be like, what was I doing? You have your whole life to be a grown-up. Enjoy being young. Enjoy being silly. Enjoy not getting dressed and makeup. Spend time in nature. Take up a sport. You must play a sport, an instrument, and teach the adults who have missed out on that life because your adults did live that life, but they've also gotten into this Insta life and this like technological life. So you kids remind your parents, hey, come on, let's go to the beach. Let's go to the mountains. Let's do some nature activities. Go spend time in charities. Give your time to charity. Go to SOS village. Go give your time to underprivileged kids. These are all really nourishing for your soul and you will be so happy that you did this because at the end, peace and happiness is all you want. So find that within yourself and never care about what anyone thinks of you. Be kind, be honest, and have fun.

The Confession That Changed My Life Forever
There was a time in my life when I believed hiding the truth was easier than facing it. I thought silence could protect me. I thought if nobody knew what I was carrying inside, life would somehow become normal again. But I was wrong.

The Mirror of Her Younger Years
When Alina entered university at nineteen, she believed life was only about freedom. For the first time, nobody controlled her schedule. Nobody asked where she was going, why she returned late, or whether she had studied for exams. To her, university was not a place for building a future. It was a stage for attention, excitement, trends, and temporary friendships.

The Rain Between Them
Ayaan first saw Zara on a rainy Monday morning outside the old library in Lahore. The streets were wet, the sky was gray, and students rushed past with umbrellas in their hands. But Zara stood still near the gate, trying to protect a stack of books under her scarf.
