The Backbone of Home: A Man Who Holds It All Together. AI-Generated.
In a small, quiet town, lived a man named Arman. To the outside world, he seemed like an ordinary middle-aged man, always dressed in simple clothes, walking to work each morning with a calm demeanor. But behind the calm, Arman carried the weight of his entire family on his shoulders. His days began before sunrise and ended long after the moon rose high in the sky, filled with endless responsibilities that most people never noticed.

Past Threads, Present Comforts
In high school, my buddies—Rick, Tom, and I—landed part-time jobs at a men’s shoe store called Marston’s Footwear. The manager had one rule carved into stone: full suits and ties, even on weekends. We were the youngest salesmen there, but we looked like miniature bankers. Somewhere between fitting shoes and shining leather soles, I fell hopelessly for the cashier—a girl with a laugh that could sell anything. Lesson learned: never date someone who works the cash register two feet from your boss’s office. When it ended, I realized heartbreak feels worse in a three-piece suit.

Was it Because of the President?
I’ve managed to navigate life's “messy” questions about death, religion, and where babies come from through my journey of motherhood so far, but there was one question I could never mentally prepare myself for regarding my divorce:

Two Mothers, One Child
Two Mothers, One Child BY: Ubaid It was a warm summer afternoon. The air, for once, was softer than usual, carrying a faint breeze that dulled the sharpness of the season. For several days, the sun had been scorching the streets mercilessly, but that day felt gentler, almost kind. My mother had taken advantage of the pleasant weather and gone to the bazaar with our neighbor. She had promised to buy me a new school uniform, and I knew she wouldn’t return for another three or four hours at least.

Echoes of the Past: A Reflection on Memory, Family Patterns, and Early Exposure.. Content Warning.
Echoes of the Past: A Reflection on Memory, Family Patterns, and Early Exposure I was standing in Walmart, minding my own business, when I saw a young man I hadn’t seen in years. I had known him since he was a child, and seeing him again stirred something in me—memories, emotions, and questions that had long been buried but never truly forgotten. Our conversation was casual, but beneath the surface, I felt a ripple of unease. It wasn’t about him personally, but rather what he represented: a connection to a family whose history had once intersected with mine in painful and confusing ways.

Confidence: A God-Given Spark
Confidence: A God-Given Spark Confidence, as defined in the dictionary, is “feeling or showing confidence in oneself; self-assured.” But for me, confidence was never just a feeling—it was a spark. A divine spark. From the time I was a child, it burned quietly inside me, pushing me to explore, to question, to reach beyond what was visible. I wasn’t loud or boastful, but I was bold in my own way. I had a hunger to understand the world around me, and that hunger was rooted in something deeper than mere curiosity. It was spiritual. It was sacred.

Disappeared Newborns in Former Yugoslavia: ECtHR Rulings, Serbia’s Reforms, and Croatia’s Obligations
Between the 1960s and 1990s, thousands of parents in Serbia and Croatia were told their newborns had died, often without proof. The ECtHR ruled in Zorica Jovanović v. Serbia (2013) and Petrović v. Croatia (2025) that states violated family rights. Allegations include falsified identities, missing records, and illicit payments. Serbia has enacted reforms; Croatia must follow suit.

Covetous, Christians
“The Measure of a Man” In the heart of Pine Hollow, a town stitched together by gospel hymns and barbecue smoke, Pastor Elijah Moore stood behind the pulpit of New Hope Baptist Church. His voice, rich and steady, rolled through the sanctuary like a river smoothing stones.

Children for Sale. Content Warning.
The Hidden Aftershock When we think of the pandemic’s long shadow, most people picture masks, vaccines, lost jobs, or climbing bills. But there’s a darker consequence that still struggles to break into mainstream conversation: the sharp rise in child sex trafficking, particularly at the hands of families themselves.

The Last Letter She Never Read
Arjun sat by the window, the paper in his trembling hand stained with the drops of tea he hadn’t touched. Outside, the autumn leaves were falling, just as they had the day she left. He remembered every detail the soft warmth of the sun that day, the way her laughter lingered in the air, the weight of his pride that had
