Alone Together: The Quiet Loneliness of the Connected Age
We have never been so connected, and yet loneliness has never felt so loud. It hums beneath notifications, pulses through glowing screens, and settles quietly in the spaces between posts. It is not the dramatic loneliness of exile or abandonment; it is subtler, more insidious—a loneliness that exists even when the room is full, even when the phone vibrates in our hand.

Benefits of Looking Forward To Something
Everyone looks forward to something because it is part of life. When we were younger, we looked for most things that were different from what we look forward to now that we are older. Even so, we might still look forward to some of the same things: birthdays, holidays (some more than others), graduation, first job, dating, marriage, anniversaries, raising a family, and more.

Word of the Day: 不利な方
I am actually happy enough to listen to Gulsen in the hallway. I usually listen to it in the gym, which I haven't been in forever. Now I am remembering I need to reply to Teresa. Bruh, I am so overbooked. I have people like 5 days in advanced. It is way too much.

There is a particular weight to the things we don’t talk about. Not heavy enough to crush us outright, but constant enough to change the way we stand, the way we move through rooms, the way we pause before answering simple questions.
