The Billboard
I never thought what I learned in class could be so real. I never thought what Mr. Hannigan taught would ever be real. You see I thought school was just making your mark. I thought school was about getting a head start. Yup I John Henry never thought there was actual power in schooling. I would try to do the best because that's what my parents taught me. That's what I was trained to do since I was young. It was like my thing. It was my forestay.. I never knew the power of education. And yeah I was doing it for the women. I wanted to attract the smartest and best. Besides the most beautiful to me. Education was personal. So I excelled even with setbacks. And this was my life. This was my purpose especially in education. And I learned to be independent. I learned to take care of myself. I learned to be a man. And graduating was humbling and great. I love gracing the stage and being among my peers showing my academic achievement. I never thought much about health until Covid. I remember the Student Vice President saying that I caught the eyes of many with my outstanding academics in health. But that was all I know. I never knew that I would rise to ranks in health. I never really knew my impact. It was like more than what I expected. And I love to dream big. I love to think outside the box. I love to brainstorm. My entire education taught me that. And it inspired me to excel everyday in class. I would try to be the best without being a teacher's pet. I would rather be a favorite student who worked hard using his mind and nothing else. Again Covid brought out something in me that I never thought. It brought our all my training and education. It made me think hard and a lot about my background. It inspired to join the task force. I had to tell the Governor what I learned. Especially since I excelled at health administration and liberal arts. I knew the methods they just suddenly came back to me. All of sudden, speaking to other governors in the association and having an influence on the direction of the health crisis. And even after it was resolved I still felt obligated to do more. Like I said Covid would be like the flu shot. So I was determined to fight for vaccines. To fight that we should keep them . To fight that we should make them known. After all vaccines do a lot for community is what I learned from genetics. Vaccines can make or break a society. So I kept up the fight even after Covid, I told my followers get both flu shot and vaccine. I did one in each arm. Because I believe in vaccines, I believe in science. In fact that was my specialty, I was noted as a Esteemed Scientist by the Union of Concerned Scientists. So I did it over and over again, shown it is okay to get a vaccine. And one day it happened. I became a unspoken hero for vaccines. I was recognized with this billboard in my hometown. And many say it looked like me, and I have the picture to prove it. I am glad at the change that is at hand. I did it for the people. I did it for my teachers and professors. I did it for my family. For everyone who believe in science. For everyone who loves living. And I hope that future generations would see that. And embraced that and become apart of the ideology of helping their community thrive and survive with science.

I Found a Breakup Letter in My Coat Pocket — and It Was Addressed to Me
It had been almost a year since we ended things. No big fight. No dramatic walkout. Just silence. A slow fade-out. Like a movie you keep watching, even when the credits are already rolling.

The Dangerous Lover
(Dark Romance - Part 7) "This is what true love really is, Neela. This is what a sacred relationship looks like. The fact that you still feel this way proves that you were truly Shraban's wife. And from what I’ve seen, that boy loves you madly," said Neela’s mother.

It was always about the littlest things
You know those moments that light you up like a forestfire, the circumstances, people, entities, stories, words or notions that trigger something in you. That makes you act differently, to approach your life differently, to stride a different walk or embrace a new mindset. These are often quite moments that we think are insignificant, but are in reality monumental transgressions of metamorphosis, where everything changes, but also nothing changes.

The Day I Stopped Chasing “Enough”
Most of my adult years, I believed being "enough" was something you attained. Enough was about being on at all times. Being agreeable at all times. Constantly reaching for the next milestone, the next promotion, the next unread email in my inbox. I boasted about my fatigue as a badge of honor, as if running on empty indicated that I was doing something right. Society calls it hustle. I called it survival.

The Hidden Pressure of Social Media: Why Young Minds Feel Left Behind
In today’s fast-paced digital world, it’s nearly impossible to find a teenager or young adult who isn’t actively scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, or YouTube. Social media has become more than just a place to connect—it’s a lifestyle, a marketplace, a platform for creativity, and, unfortunately, a source of mental distress for many. While these platforms can be empowering, there is a darker side that many young minds are silently struggling with: the pressure to succeed too early in life.
