The Standing Boy of Nagasaki
In the haunting ruins of post-war Nagasaki, amid twisted steel, crumbled buildings, and scorched earth, a quiet, solemn figure stands out — a boy, perhaps no older than ten, standing still with perfect posture.

I once sat down to write an article about procrastination. I brewed a cup of coffee, opened my laptop, and promised myself I'd start writing right after checking Instagram.

The Status and Importance of Women in Society
It’s impossible to imagine a world without the presence and influence of women. From birth to the very end of life, women shape who we are, what we believe in, and how we live. Yet, for far too long, their efforts have been overlooked, and their value has been underestimated. Writing this article, I wanted to express what I truly feel about the role and importance of women in society—not just from a historical or political view, but from everyday life experiences.
