Finished Forever. Content Warning.
Spring 2025 To the Undaunting Grief I Endure, I am writing to express my utmost disdain in the power you hold over me. Although it has not been for all that long, it feels like eternity. I cannot continue on in this endeavor of yours any longer, for fear I may break. You tore away a piece of me and left this unforgiving pain in your wake. You disappear, briefly, from time to time. Only to bring on the horrible guilt that lays in wait, and make it mine. I try to cover up what’s inside, but the pain you bestow on me, I cannot hide.

Dad, I’m done . Content Warning.
Dear Dad, I can barely breathe, knowing you don’t want to be my father. Before you ask, this wasn’t a supposition. I reached out to you and you gave me all but the love I wanted, the acceptance; a promise that you would never make the same mistakes again.

Swan Song. Runner-Up in I Resign From… Challenge.
Dear Narcissist, This is your swan song. This is the last time I shine a spotlight on you. The last time I sit in your audience, clapping and smiling and crying and dying. The last time I fall for the smoke and mirrors, the sleight of hand, the parlour tricks.

Want to Be Rich but Too Lazy to Budget? Make Your Money Work for You
Everyone has had this moment: payday comes, the e-wallet is full, spirits are high. But a week later, a notification pops up—"Insufficient balance." Strangely, the money just disappears, even though it feels like nothing much was spent. Weird, right?

SpaceX Starship Test Flight Ends in Mid-Air Disintegration After Loss of Control
p On May 27, 2025, SpaceX’s highly anticipated ninth test flight of its advanced Starship rocket concluded in failure after the spacecraft lost control and ultimately broke apart over the Indian Ocean. Although the launch initially appeared successful and proceeded smoothly through the early phases, the mission was ultimately compromised by critical in-flight issues, resulting in the vehicle's destruction. This incident marks the third straight failure of the Starship program in 2025. However, SpaceX continues to maintain an optimistic outlook, viewing each unsuccessful attempt not as a defeat but as an essential step forward in its long-term mission to develop a fully reusable spacecraft capable of conducting ambitious journeys to the Moon, Mars, and even deeper into space.

Religion and reason
Averroes vs. European Philosophy: A Philosophical Review of the Conflict between Religion and Reason There are few thinkers in history who have managed to carve out a niche for themselves in the three-dimensional terrain of science, religion, and philosophy. Among them, Averroes is a unique exception. He played an unforgettable role in the renaissance of knowledge not only in the Islamic world, but also in Christian Europe. Averroes was a philosopher who sought to prove that rationalism and religious faith are not contradictory—but complementary.
