The Light That Remembered Us. AI-Generated.
The cold in Chicago didn't just bite; it owned the streets. It was the kind of February wind that whistled through the gaps in the window frames of the high-rise, a constant, low-frequency reminder that the world outside was indifferent to human comfort. Inside Apartment 42B, the air was different. It was clean, filtered, and smelled faintly of the expensive lemon-scented disinfectant used by the cleaning crew that came every Thursday. It was a home, theoretically, but to Clara, it often felt like a gallery where she was one of the exhibits.

Babies are Lowkey X-Men
"Yo, listen to this... I swear it sounds like some sci-fi movie, but it’s 100% legit. You’d think newborn babies are these fragile little things, right? Wrong. Turns out, these tiny humans are lowkey jacked.

The Mysterious Call
The rain tapped rhythmically against the attic window as Clara sorted through her late grandmother’s belongings. Dust motes danced in the beam of her flashlight, settling on a vintage rotary phone—ivory-colored, its cord frayed at the base, a relic from the 1970s. She’d never seen it before; her grandmother had always used a sleek modern handset in her final years. Curious, Clara plugged it into the wall socket, half-expecting nothing but silence.

The Portal of Creation:
Across ages and civilizations, the feminine principle has been revered not merely as a companion to creation, but as its very portal. The phrase “portal of creation” captures a truth whispered through myth, mysticism, and sacred geometry alike — that the universe expresses itself through a generative matrix, a womb of becoming. In this cosmology, creation is not a passive event but an eternal pulse flowing through the living body of the feminine.

Fordy and the Bandit Kitties. AI-Generated.
Once upon a time, there was a friendly little vehicle named Fordy. We meet Fordy on a very sleepy road, beneath a sky full of twinkly stars that seemed to whisper goodnight to anyone who passed beneath them. The moon hung low and round, lighting the road just enough to make everything feel safe and calm.

12 small habits I wish I started earlier
Not all of them are habits in the traditional sense. Some are closer to lifestyle choices. I couldn’t find a better word that fits all of them, so I’ll call them habits for simplicity.

Product of Lies
Product of Lies My earliest recollection of a lie was at the age of five. It was the Christmas holiday week, and my mom and dad were have an annual Christmas party for friends that included a couple children. The night was a fantasy, like the Nutcracker Suite without dancing. Our house length sunroom, which I always called the ball room was fully decked out in silver and gold garland, hung from each of the recessed lights in the entire room, which made the light refracting off of the tinsel, shimmer and flicker throughout. There was beautifully delicious food laid out and beverages for the kids and the adults. I was going to be a long evening of magical socializing in holiday vignettes.

Fleeing Home - Again.... Content Warning.
Today I am not going to lie about or sugarcoat how I am doing. I am doing terribly. My children and I ended up fleeing our home last night. Again. Because of a man who decided to tell me that I had no other option than that he was going to be accessing my property.

The Love That Stays Off-Camera
I didn’t notice the fire until it was almost too late. It was a Tuesday in late October. Dry wind, brittle leaves, the kind of air that crackles with danger. I was inside, scrolling through bad news on my phone, when the smell hit—acrid, sharp, wrong. I ran outside just as smoke curled over the ridge behind our street.

The Last Gallop
In a small village nestled between golden wheat fields and sun-cracked hills, there lived a horse named Bahar. He wasn’t sleek or swift, nor did he have a pedigree worth boasting about. His coat was dull in places, his legs bore old scars, and one ear was half-torn from a long-forgotten storm. But to twelve-year-old Rehan, Bahar was more than a horse—he was memory, comfort, and home.
