Why I Won’t Tell You to Dump Your Boyfriend — Even If He’s Abusive. Content Warning.
From the outside, it’s easy to say what you’d do if your friend’s partner hit her. Or screamed at her. Or tracked her phone. Or belittled her until she barely recognized herself.

His Heart, Her Playground
From the moment she walked into his life, Jay knew Mia was different. Not in the clichéd way romantic movies describe — not like fireworks or violins. No, Mia was more like a storm: unpredictable, magnetic, beautiful, and dangerous if you stood too close for too long.

I Ghosted My Dream University. Top Story - June 2025.
I still live in the Czech Republic. Something about the affordable cost of living, short work week, sustainable public transportation, and abundance of people who like me here has driven me to stay. In fact, I have signed on for a second year as an English teacher with the same company, setting this up as potentially the longest I’ve stayed in one place since my undergrad. Yes, I’ve been back to the States a couple of times, because I’m saddled (blessed?) with a family that wants to see me regularly, but doesn’t want to go through the trouble of getting passports. I genuinely enjoy living in Europe, which is why it came as such a surprise when I realized that I don’t want to stay in Europe.

Chapter 1: The First Time I Saw Her
It was the first time I saw her—and from that very moment, I was captivated by her eyes. It happened during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. The world was quiet, locked down, and everyone’s faces were hidden behind masks. I had just stepped into college life, and that day, I was at the registration office, queuing up to submit my documents.

My First Business Venture
I’ve been reflecting on my current business project a lot lately, and I realized that my very first venture occurred when I was just ten years old in the Soviet Union. It’s a story I enjoy sharing because it illustrates that universal childhood desire to earn money and the creative lengths kids will go to achieve it.

"The Day I Learned to Shut Up and Listen
I used to think I had to have an answer for everything. If someone complained, I gave them a solution. If someone told me their problems, I tried to fix them. I thought that’s what being a man meant — solve, repair, rescue. Like life was just one long busted engine.

people who have nearly no close friends or family to lean on usually display these habits without realizing it
In today’s hyper-connected world, loneliness is a growing epidemic that often goes unnoticed. Not everyone who appears fine on the surface is truly okay inside. Some individuals have little to no emotional support—no close friends to confide in, no family members to rely on. And while they may function "normally" in society, they often display subtle, unconscious habits that point to a deeper lack of connection and support. These behaviors are not always easy to spot—even the people exhibiting them may be unaware.

10 Blatantly Sexist Remarks About Women Made by a Man
Anyone can be sexist — men, women, and people of other genders. Discrimination isn’t limited to one group. It’s horrible, disgusting, annoying, and very unfair. Unfortunately, this is something we have to encounter once in a while, because people suck. There it is, one of the most straightforward pieces of wisdom I can share with others: humans suck. Pardon my lack of scientific terminology.
