Humanity
The Poetry Dimension. Top Story - December 2025.
I have been telling stories since I first learned to speak. I’ve been writing since I first had the motor control to grip a pencil in my little ravioli fist. One of my two Bachelors degrees is in Creative Writing, for goodness sake! I like to imagine, dear friends and enemies, that I have made somewhat of a life for myself out of the written word. But if this is the case, dear reader, then why does poetry confuse and upset me so damn much?

Word of the Day: 飴
since after my finals. I accidentally got locked out of my apartment last night because I wanted to go out. I told myself, " Just some BBQ sliders and 2 drinks and I'll leave. " half way walking there I realize, the keys were not in my purse and my feet were soaked because my sneakers are breathable cloth ones, not meant to be out in the weather with.

Don't Tell Me I Can't
Don’t Tell Me I Can’t God, I can’t stand the thought of living at home with my dad anymore. He’s such a narcissist and over bearing and I am twenty three years old. I don’t know why I hate his personality really, since Ive known him my whole life as my dad. What was my normal as a child is not okay with me now and I’m not sure it ever will be. Not that it ever was.

Failing the Driving Test: The Hidden Burden No One Talks About
Every time I take the driving test, it feels like I’m carrying much more than just learning the maneuvers. I carry my nerves, my expectations, the money I’ve invested, my desire to move forward in life, and the pressure of needing the license. And every attempt that doesn’t go perfectly leaves a mark that is hard to explain.

I Survived My Worst Decision
The Moment That Changed Everything We all have that one decision we wish we could take back. Mine wasn’t small. It wasn’t the kind of mistake you laugh about years later. It was the kind of choice that left scars, the kind that made me question who I was and whether I’d ever be okay again.

She Taught Me How to Love Myself Again
I never thought silence could be this loud. A deeply emotional story about motherhood, identity, and rediscovery. From sleepless nights and teenage storms to the quiet joy of letting go, this story explores how one mother learned to love herself again through her daughter's eyes.There's a kind of silence only mothers know - the one that follows after the crying stops, after the rooms grow quiet, after the years of chaos give way to a strange, aching peace.

Understanding a client
One reason why AI will have a hard time taking over humans is that we humans have a hard time expressing what we really want. Even with a sophisticated catalog of words and good communication, it's still hard for us to clearly picture and translate into words what we really want to accomplish. Even when it's the case, even when we do know how to express these things, often times we come to realize that what we wanted, turned out to not be what we actually wanted in the end. It's something very mind-boggling to say the least. My guess is that AI will have to become better at understanding our gibberish or at the very least predicting what we really want, which isn’t really something far-fetched to do.
