C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

I Would Be Nothing Without My Friends
I have written many articles about my friendships over the years. Every time I thought about a friendship that ended, I would write about it and try to put my feelings and questions into words. I have tried to figure out why many of my friendships ended and why some of them ended the way they did. I wrote about how someone who I considered my best friend broke up our friendship years ago and how it broke my heart. And as I wrote in the article, I still don’t know why. A friend I thought would be in my life forever abandoned me when my mother died. Groups of friends didn’t want me around. And so on and so forth. All of these have given me endless material to write about. And so I did. I have. I have written about all of those and more. Because that is something to write about, isn’t it? It’s a problem, it’s a story, it’s pretty much blog article material. It’s something that people relate to, because we have all been there. People want to read about it and offer their words of advice and share their own stories in the comments section so we can all help each other. But what about the other side of things? What about the other friends? THE friends? The OGs?

The Real Reason You Feel Disrespected in Your Relationship
Feeling unheard, overlooked, or taken for granted in a relationship is emotionally draining—especially for Gen Z couples navigating love in a hyper-connected, fast-moving world. When respect fades, discontent slowly builds into resentment. Understanding how to obtain respect in a relationship is not about control, power, or fear; rather, it is about emotional maturity, boundaries, and self-esteem.

The Attention Economy Is Quietly Rewriting Our Minds — and Most People Don’t Notice
Every time you unlock your phone, scroll a feed, or tap a notification, you are participating in something far bigger than momentary distraction. You are engaging in what experts call the attention economy — a system where human focus is the most valuable resource on Earth. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s reality. For the companies that fuel the modern internet, your attention is currency. Every second spent watching, clicking, or reacting generates data that platforms use to predict your behavior, tailor your feed, and pull you deeper into their ecosystem. And the consequences go beyond algorithms. They are reshaping how we think, feel, and decide — often without our conscious awareness.

The Day My Phone Started Knowing Me Better Than I Did
It started with a notification I almost ignored. “Good morning, Alex. Based on your sleep patterns, we’ve adjusted your morning schedule. Coffee is ready at 7:15. You might want to leave home at 8:03 instead of 8:10.” I froze. My phone had never spoken to me like this before. Sure, it suggested playlists, predicted traffic, and reminded me of appointments. But it had never calculated me this precisely. Curiosity overcame caution. I followed its instructions. The coffee was perfect. Traffic was lighter than usual. I arrived at work feeling oddly efficient.

Digital Shadows: How Our Online Lives Shape Who We Are
We live in a world where almost every thought, habit, and interaction leaves a digital trace. Every post we make, every story we share, every “like” or reaction contributes to a vast, invisible record of our lives. These traces—our digital shadows—are shaping more than just algorithms; they are shaping us.

We Are Training Technology More Than It Is Training Us
Most conversations about technology focus on what machines are learning. We talk about artificial intelligence becoming smarter, algorithms improving, and systems adapting faster than ever. The common fear is that technology is watching us, analyzing us, and eventually outgrowing us. But there’s a quieter truth hiding in plain sight. Technology is learning because we are teaching it—constantly, unintentionally, and without pause.

The Age of Invisible Technology: How Silence Became the Most Powerful Feature
Technology used to announce itself loudly. New devices arrived with dramatic launches, glowing screens, and long lists of features designed to impress. Faster processors, bigger storage, sharper displays—progress was measured by how much more we could pack into a single machine. The louder the innovation, the better it seemed.
