The Land of Make-believe. Top Story - September 2025.

The Lives of Others. Top Story - September 2025.
Like millions of other people, I commute daily; an hour on public transport each way to the nearest large city. I've taken the same bus journey so many times I recognize the drivers and their schedules and I can sleep most of it without missing my stop. I can see the fucking road with my eyes closed and I swear I have developed a sixth sense for when and where a traffic jam will occur, what buses will be late, and when I'll struggle to get a seat (always when the University is in session, always - I swear some of the students think their book bags have a ticket too the way they seat hog)...

The Day After (And Why It's OK To Hurt Like Hell). Top Story - September 2025.
I never thought I’d write something like this.  Not because I thought we’d last forever (though I hoped we would) but because I honestly thought I’d be alright. I cry at Pixar films, so I know I'd be sad. But, you know, I'd be upset, but fine. That if it ever ended, I’d handle it with grace. I'd be “a man about it.” Be upset, fold up the memories, put them in a box, and move on slowly.

the manic person. Top Story - September 2025.
the manic person had no time for mistakes, yet always made too many. their urgency led to reckless and entirely avoidable error, and while the manic person knew this with every fiber of their being, they could not bring themselves to access the part of their brain that stored that important kernel of wisdom. they would follow their misguided gut to the devil's doorstep with vigor and haste, and had done so frequently before. the inclination to act on anything felt so great at times that they often found themselves in the midst of a great mess with no plan, no solution, only an intense desire to be doing something. this usually caused a great deal of strife for the manic person when their mania invariably subsided and they were faced with the consequences of their behavior.

Awakened Potential. Top Story - September 2025.
We are living in a time, where spiritual awakenings are becoming more commonplace, and with these awakenings taking place within individuals, and collectives, it is something that I don't believe there is much navigation in regards to.
