Finding the upside of down
No ever told me that moving cities, moving countries wasn’t like a Hollywood blockbuster. Girl moves to New York and finds herself with a new, edgy set of friends and endless plans. Typically, that girl discovers a lot about herself, mostly positive things. But here’s the thing, that isn’t exactly what happened for me. I found myself prepping for move, watching countless moving vlogs and reading books about a city girl in a quaint little town. That obviously didn’t help me when it came down to being alone with my feelings. The murky waters of those feelings and what came with it definitely surprised me. I was the girl who was supposed to be healed and a much better version of myself. I was supposed to be the girl that overcame flashbacks and unwanted thoughts about my past.

The Power of Ambition: Fueling Success Beyond Talent
Despite the wisdom in Thomas Jefferson’s words, ambition often carries a negative connotation in many cultures, including my own, Italy. It’s frequently associated with excess power, arrogance, corruption and disregard for the well-being of others. However, I firmly believe that ambition, when used correctly, is an incredible force for positive change and personal growth. I also believe that ambition is more important than talent in achieving your life’s objectives.

The Social Media Paradox
When I first signed up for Facebook in college, I remember feeling a rush of excitement. The idea of staying connected with friends and family, sharing life updates, and seeing what others were up to from across the globe seemed almost magical. Fast forward to today, and it's clear that social media has evolved into a behemoth that shapes nearly every facet of our lives. But as I reflect on my own experiences and observe the broader societal shifts, I can't help but grapple with the complex interplay of social media's impact on relationships, communication, and mental health.

From Dream to Empire
The Final Day The morning of Alex Carter’s final day at his corporate job arrived with a mix of anticipation and melancholy.
