Epic love stories and relationships as depicted in pop culture, though it rarely turns out like that in real life.
The Department of Non Education
You are scrolling through a feed, and see a question on the top of the post. We queried one hundred college students. Out of curiosity, you want to know what they asked our young educated kids. It’s a simple question really. What year what the Declaration of Independence?

What the System Forces You to Become
The Question the System Replaces By the time a person has passed through employment law, healthcare coverage rules, unemployment insurance, disability determination, and benefit eligibility, the relevant question has already shifted without ever being stated out loud. It is no longer whether the system helped or failed them. It is whether they managed to remain legible long enough to survive it. Each institutional layer imposes requirements that appear reasonable when viewed in isolation, yet become coercive when experienced sequentially:

Catching Fish
Anyone who fishes, knows, there is an art to catching fish. You need the right environment and weather, the right, bait or lure, and a bit of wisdom and finesse, in the way you cast out. It’s an art really. Not everyone can catch fish, and be good at it. Then there is the whole question of ethics.

Just start by forgiving and forgetting
How many times have you heard the words forgive and forget? As far back as I can remember, my mother (God rest her soul) always talked about forgiveness that it is important because it is what our Lord and savior Jesus Christ did for those who betrayed him to be honest I have a real difficulty trying to forgive I mean it's so easy you let go of the hate you let go of the hurt that has been inside your heart your head your soul and you're able to move on I've seen people do it I've heard people talk about how they can just easily forgive those who have betrayed them I have a real difficulty trying to forgive especially those who stabbed me in the back betrayed me and figuratively speaking just left out to die. I have so many former friends that I hold so much hatred towards them, and I don't wanna hold it anymore. I try to let it go, I try to move on, but out of nowhere those memories just come back, and they ignite that fire that I thought I put out.

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.

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.
