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!"

Speaking to Time Instead of the Room
Much of modern communication is oriented toward immediacy. Writing is framed as something meant to be consumed quickly, reacted to instantly, and replaced just as fast by whatever comes next. Under this model, the value of a piece is measured almost entirely by its initial reception. If it does not land immediately, it is treated as a failure. This assumption narrows the purpose of writing and misunderstands how meaning actually travels through time.

Ai The New Gym Coach
Walking into a gym without a plan can feel like stepping into a maze. Rows of machines, endless workout advice online, and conflicting fitness trends make it hard to know where to start—or whether what you’re doing is actually helping. One of the biggest problems with traditional workout programs is that they assume everyone’s body responds the same way. In reality, your age, height, and weight dramatically influence how you should train. This is where artificial intelligence is redefining fitness.

I Learned This the Hard Way
I Learned This the Hard Way There was a time when I believed that if I just worked harder, everything would eventually fall into place. I didn’t question it. I didn’t doubt it. That idea was repeated so often by teachers, family, and motivational posts online that it felt like a universal truth.

Rebuilding Mental Health After Emotional Abuse In Relationships With Support
In relationships, emotional abuse includes manipulation, belittling, sustained criticism or domineering behavior that compromises the self esteem and emotional stability of a person. Emotional abuse, in contrast to physical abuse, causes invisible damage that may have a disastrous impact on mental health in the long term. Victims tend to be worthless, anxious and hyper-vigilant and they find it difficult to trust themselves or other people.

Which one friend ?
It was a quiet afternoon when there was a soft knock at the door. Zakariya, who was in the courtyard of his house, immediately noticed it. The rest of his family members were inside. The gentle knock suggested that the visitor did not want anyone to know of their arrival.

The Enemy’s Friendship
I was shaken to the core when a man stepped out of a car—it was him, the one who had extinguished the lives of my parents. I had always hated humans. I had seen my father and mother shot before my eyes, their skins stripped away. Their deaths had also destroyed my childhood happiness. During those dark days, my loyal friend, a leopard, and his family supported me. Other animals, instead of fearing me, showed compassion.

Unity Brings Blessings
Once upon a time, there lived a sparrow and a crow. Between the two of them, there existed intense hostility. The sparrow spent her days collecting grains for her young chicks. She would pick up food in her beak, return to the nest to feed her children, and then fly off again to gather more. On the other hand, the crow constantly watched her movements with an evil intention. He waited patiently for the moment when the sparrow would leave her nest unattended so that he could attack the helpless chicks and make them his prey.

Shadows Within
Have you ever felt that quiet pull inside, the one that makes applause feel heavy? That subtle weight in your chest that sits there, not loud, not cruel, just… familiar? It whispers things you already know but hope to ignore: You had help. You copied. You don’t really deserve this. And suddenly, just as you could shine, you shrink. You fold yourself into the moment as if hiding it will make it harmless.

Shadows
There is a voice most people never talk about, not because it is rare, but because it is so familiar it feels like part of the self. It is not loud in the way the world understands loudness. It does not shout or demand attention. It hums beneath thought, beneath action, beneath moments that should feel complete. It carries weight quietly, shaping how brilliance is held rather than how it is expressed.
