What I Learned Growing Up in a Cult. Top Story - June 2025.
Earlier this week I was talking to a coworker about life. After a while, we somehow got on the subject of religion. I had to explain that I have an aversion to most organized forms of religion, having been raised in a church that at the time was very cult-like, and later after a split, the faction that stayed with the original leader went full cult. But that begs the question.

Is This Our Last Summer?. Content Warning.
The other day, I had a dream. I was sitting on some stairs outside, and a huge missile flew above my head and continued forward. A few moments later, a missile was fired in response from the opposite direction. I felt every emotion as if it was real life - war is here, I have to mentally prepare. I fully accepted defeat. I accepted that this is it.

The Lie of Light.. Content Warning.
I had forgotten about this one until recently. Lately, I’ve been thinking about everything going on in the world. Politics is full of promises—“we’ll fix this, we’ll change that”—but nothing ever really shifts. Not because it was built this way from the start, but because over time, the corrupt added layer after layer to a broken system. And the ones who could’ve stopped it? They stood by in silence, letting it happen—because money filled their pockets and dulled their conscience. That’s why I’ve chosen to raise my voice, loud and clear, for everyone tired of what this world has become.
