On reading through life as a book
On reading through life as a book How astounding it is to live in a multidimensional world that coincides in its being to encompass millions of beings that coexist with each other, a million journeys with each one having its individuality, its narrative of how they survived the storm and sailed their boats in the dreary sea of survival. We strive in our yarns of glim, gloom, sadness and bloom, to rise in the highs of the beauty of abundance and to fall in the lowness of animosity and brevity of failures. To be or not to be, to smile or to frown upon while walking this journey called mortality, is a choice that lies to be made, to either loathe in the readiness of what was or to forget and move up in the radical acceptance of what is and what is about to be the reality that one forges to be in.

An open letter to those feeling uncertain
An open letter to those feeling uncertain I often ponder the idea of existentialism and its essence in the presence of humanity. Evolution trotted in silent footsteps and bled over its entirety, transforming humans into the complex beings we are today. The social construct that generations before us built fostered connection, but it overlooked the idea of authenticity while embracing each other. The world we live in promotes the counterfeited fallacy of having your life together at every cycle and step of our lives.

Embracing Inner Peace
In this article, I want to highlight that in today's busy and pressure-filled modern world, many people around the globe experience prolonged unrest and stress. Often, we seek peace outside ourselves or in external things. We might think that acquiring luxury items, landing a dream job, or traveling to beautiful places will provide us with the peace we desperately seek. However, there's a saying that "Peace comes from within. Don't look for it elsewhere."

My Articles Have Gotten 400k Views in 6 Months. I’m Still Broke
Sometimes you write an article so depressing, you need to set the scene before actually getting into it: Martin Vidal sits alone on a wooden chair in a dimly lit room. A solitary overhead light reveals his silhouette but his facial features are hidden in the shadows. He swipes a match against his pant leg and lights a cigarette with it. You get a momentary glimpse of his face before the light of the flame is extinguished. He takes a hard pull from the cigarette, and lets out a long, exasperated exhale before beginning to speak.

Care of the cooler before Eid. Content Warning.
Care of the cooler before Eid Qorbani is thumping on the entryway. Eid al-Adha is only a couple of days away. Simply finding out about this Eid carries the smell of meat to the nose. Eid-ul-Azha accompanies a pile of bliss alongside a heap of hecticness.

Talented creator spotlight #7, Alina Irfan
I find reading the works of Alina to be akin to breaths of fresh air on an otherwise warm, balmy and barmy day. She/he only just joined in June 2024 and has written 5 stories so far, but I find this creator's work a joy to read. It brings back such nostalgia of days when we roamed art galleries and bookstores just for the simple joy of living.

A letter to me as I turn 22 today. Top Story - June 2024.
A letter to me as I turn 22 today To all the 22-year-olds in the world, this one's for you. Go out there and conquer the world, it is your age to emerge victorious as you race across life's timelines, striding in the zeal of your highest vigour. It is an obligated way of living, a mere bane of existence, to become the worthiest and most appealing object of praise, a token of appreciation that glorifies the lineage of the family and has accomplished the major milestones that are deemed to be benchmarked and embraced as laid down by our society and the ones that surround us.

Harmony’s Haven. AI-Generated.
Nestled in the heart of Meadowbrook Village, surrounded by rolling hills and sun-kissed orchards, stood a quaint cottage known as “Harmony’s Haven.” Its white picket fence warmly welcomed all visitors, while roses climbed the trellis, whispering secrets to the gentle breeze. This idyllic setting was home to a trio of individuals whose lives, intertwined by fate, demonstrated the beauty of simplicity and the joy it could cultivate.
