friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
A Personal Parasocial Parable
Like most things in life, it started with a “like.” I’m sure it was a “moot” – internet slang for “mutual friend/follower” – who first led me to him. I had seen his content pop up on my feeds for some time in videos and GIF sets, and finally got curious enough to see what the hype was all about.

How does it feel to be loved?
Recently, I stumbled upon a TikTok trend where girls shared slides of their conversations with their loved ones. It began with, “No one could handle your words of affirmation,” and the rest of the images left me teary-eyed, knowing that people out there are loved that much, and some others have a love that is so sincere it defeats.

Two Tales of Rebirth
Emotions come and go as waves of the sea. We can’t say that one form of emotions last forever, but of course, there are different forms even to a sea wave. Some are short, wispy, and just enough to tingle the blissful nerves. The milky form turns your soul butter yellow with a dash of white. Big fabulous waves some days and you decide to surf in the sun. Some days the waves look peach and you take pictures. The other day sea brought so much joy, you decided to throw a birthday party on the beach. Some days the sea is calm; and in rainy days the waves are rough you’ll drown so you avoid the sea at all costs.

Cuddle Comfort
Cuddle Comfort, What’s That? So, what do I mean by “cuddle comfort” exactly? If you take it literally, then it can seem like it is a bit obvious. However, it’s not always a physical act or state of being. Cuddle comfort is just an act, touch, or anything really that gives you that sense of comfort or security in the moment. These moments usually even bring some form of clarity as well. That’s the simplified explanation of what cuddle comfort is; or at least in regards to how I refer to it and what I refer to it as.

Heart of a Champion
In the small, quiet town of Maplewood, the afternoon sun cast long shadows across the backyard of the Thompson household. Ten-year-old Alex was playing a spirited game of tag with his younger sister, Lily. Their laughter filled the air, mingling with the chirping of birds and the rustling of leaves. Suddenly, Alex stopped, clutching his chest. His face turned pale, and before Lily could call out for their mother, he collapsed onto the soft grass.

Should You Apologize if You Were Wronged First?
A few years back, I read the book Hiroshima by John Hersey. It recounted with devastating detail the effect of the nuclear bomb dropped on the Japanese city of Hiroshima at the end of the Second World War. The annihilation of Hiroshima is a tragedy of unbelievable proportions. 78,000 people were killed instantly; many tens of thousands died later from the after effects. Moreover, this was a city — a civilian target — and the bomb decimated men, women, and children indiscriminately. Many of the people involved in creating and deploying the atomic bomb have voiced their compunctions about doing so. Yet, in the many decades that have passed, every American president has refused to apologize for the act. The U.S. has officially apologized for a number of things over the years, including the overthrow of the kingdom of Hawaii, slavery and Jim Crow, the Tuskegee experiment, and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. Why not, then, apologize for dropping the atomic bomb?
