We Don't Change. We Get Rewritten. Top Story - September 2026.
Life is made up of unpredictable chapters, each one leaving its mark on the main character — you. The same way we get pulled into a good storyline, the different stages of our lives have a way of reshaping who we are; adding depth, complexity, and intrigue to our personalities.

It’s 5 am. Top Story - August 2026.
I don’t know you but it’s 5 in the morning and the rest of the commuters are either at their midlife crisis or not even old enough to truly comprehend it. You sir with your cane and orthopedic shoes walk as fast as your legs won’t allow and yet here you are.

It makes me wonder what will I be doing once I’ve achieved your age? Will I be walking to a job that overworks me because no one I know is 1 one percent enough to influence ballots and retire? Is this the reckoning that awaits us?
