Hey, God
“Dear God, Spirit, Protector, Infinite Mind, Source, I am really in need of a friend." "In need? You really need?" "Yes... I see your point. You want me to be self-sufficient, strong internally, able to withstand anything. But I am saying: I miss having a friend, someone to rely on, someone to play with."

The One Habit That Quietly Changed My Entire Life
There are many habits people talk about waking up at 5 AM, journaling, meditation, exercising daily, reading books, cold showers, and more. I tried many of them. Some worked, some didn’t. But there is one habit that quietly changed my entire life, and surprisingly, it is not something dramatic or trendy.

The Sweetness of Waiting: A Story of Patience
By Hazrat Umer "Indeed, with hardship [will come] ease." (Quran 94:6) Life. It’s a journey, isn't it? Sometimes it’s a smooth, open road under a bright sky. Other times, it’s a rocky path through a dark forest, where every step is a struggle. We all face these struggles. Business losses, sickness, family problems, or simply the long wait for something we deeply desire. In these moments, there’s one word, one powerful concept, that often comes to mind: Patience. We are told, "The fruit of patience is sweet." But oh, how difficult it is to believe that when you are in the middle of a storm.

Gen Z Is No Longer Getting their Driver’s License
For decades, learning how to drive was a rite of passage. Turning 16 meant freedom, independence, and your first taste of adulthood behind the wheel. But something has shifted. A growing number of young people — especially Gen Z — are delaying getting their driver’s licenses or skipping it entirely. Instead, they’re tapping a screen, booking an Uber, and letting someone else handle the road.

Power of Silence
The room was loud, but what scared me most was the silence I was about to create. My phone buzzed again on the table, lighting up with a name I hadn’t saved but knew by heart. I watched it vibrate itself tired, then stop. I didn’t pick it up. For the first time in a long time, I let the silence win.

THE OBLITERATED MAN
I was—though I am rapidly ceasing to be—Egbert Craddock Cummins. The name remains, but the man does not. I am still, unhappily, the dramatic critic of the Fiery Cross, though what I shall become soon is uncertain. I write this in confusion and distress, for when a man begins to lose his own identity, even telling his story becomes difficult.

I Wanted to End My Life after Being Publicly Shamed. Content Warning.
“Sometimes we tolerate unacceptable behaviour from others because we don’t know we deserve better.” — Kia Stephens ^ Sitting in the front passenger seat of a packed crew van, on our way to do a ‘quick turnaround’ aircraft clean, the forty-something male colleague, sitting next to me — out of nowhere and loud enough for the other male crew members sitting behind us to hear — unashamedly ridiculed me, in detail, about my genitalia.
