friendship

The Summer I Thought Had Ended Comes Back to Stir My Heart Again
Sometimes we think that when the seasons change, the feelings we once had will fade slowly with the wind and rain. We believe time will erase that flutter in our chest, turning it into nothing more than a faint memory. We never guess that some things lie hidden deep in our hearts, waiting to be called back again someday.

The Sugar Attack. Top Story - October 2026.
I’d like to preface this story with this: This was a real-life event that happened to me probably 18 or 20 years ago. I am not embellishing anything, but I’m also operating off my memory. It’s too funny, so people tend not to believe that it happened.

I Broke My Writing Streak for Four Days. Here’s What Finally Got Me Back.
At 11:40 p.m., Chen Mo turned off his phone, then turned it on again. The plan was taped to the wall above his desk, printed in bold: up at 6:30, read for forty minutes, write five hundred words, work out for half an hour. In the corner, small type read: Day 1 of the streak.

The teacher told us his family was of Slavic descent, having moved here from abroad a few months earlier. Most of us had never met anyone like him — quiet, with sharp‑looking eyes, and lunches no‑one recognised.
