The Weight of Pride
In the quiet village of Chandapur, nestled between fields of mustard and dusty footpaths, lived an old potter named Hariram. For over fifty years, his hands—gnarled and stained with red clay—had shaped vessels that held water, oil, and sometimes even prayers. His pots were known for their strength, their balance, their fine carvings of peacocks, lotuses, and gods. People from nearby towns would travel just to buy one, saying, “A Hariram pot never breaks.”

Morbid Lonnie
Lonnie stepped into her empty apartment. It was 6 on this Monday evening and she just finished a shift. “I’m home!” She said to no one in particular. She tossed her keys in the bowl she uses as a key holder and passed the photograph next to it. She still couldn’t see them. It had been three years and she still couldn’t see their faces…it started with her grandma and then her grandpa. She couldn’t remember their laughter or voices.

The Mirror Mind: How Self-Perception Shapes Every Decision You Make
INTRO It started with a single comment. “You’re not really leadership material, are you?” It was said casually, almost as a joke, over a coffee break. But for Maya, those seven words carved themselves deep into her memory. They lingered, replaying at the edges of her thoughts.

Love Without Labels
A Story of Courage, Defiance, and Timeless Love There are movies that entertain. Then there are films that shift your soul, that whisper truths society tries to bury. Elisa & Marcela (2019), directed by Isabel Coixet, is one such masterpiece. Based on a true story from early 20th century Spain, it chronicles the love between two women—Elisa Sánchez Loriga and Marcela Gracia Ibeas—who defied the odds to be together in a world where their love was seen as sin.

RuPaul House of Hidden Meanings is a great book
RuPaul’s memoir that was recently released is called The House of Hidden Meanings and in my opinion i truly did enjoy reading the life story of RuPaul. Ru’s writing style is like you’re sitting at a bar having a drink with a friend and you both decide to start talking to a friend. RuPaul talked about when she was first getting work in show business how she was an extra in the B52’s video for their song Love Shack. Her cameo is really brief but hard to miss she is the tall black chick with an large Afro and a bandana dressed in white bumpin with this scrawny little white guy.

I Outgrew the Version of Me They Loved Most
There was a time when I was everything they wanted. Quiet. Agreeable. Polished. Predictable. I didn’t challenge the narrative. I didn’t ask for more. I fit so neatly into the version of myself they loved — the one who laughed at the right jokes, kept the peace, and apologized for simply existing too loudly.
