The Fight After the Final Order
On July 14, 2025, the Family Court of Dorchester County, South Carolina, issued its Final Order in the case of Sewell v. Sewell. The ruling awarded sole custody of the couple's daughter to the mother, imposed a $60,000 attorney’s fee against the father, and ordered him to refinance or sell his pre-marital home to satisfy the judgment. For most litigants, this would be the end of a painful process. But for William Sewell, a pro se father with no attorney, no money, and a disability that was never accommodated, the Final Order was just the beginning of a new chapter—a last-ditch legal scramble to protect what little remains of his rights, his home, and his child.

The Real Reasons Why I'll Never Have Children
People say that having children is the miracle of life and a blessing. That may be true for most people, but as for me, I feel the complete opposite. I'm nearing 40, unmarried, and childless. The latter is completely my choice, and I'll explain the reasons why I don't see myself as a father anytime soon. I rarely discuss my love life, but I feel it's necessary for me to be open to everyone about what I hope to accomplish in the next several years. Unfortunately, fatherhood isn't one of them. These are my personal opinions about children, so I'm not persuading anyone to have or not have children. I leave that decision to you and everyone.

The Bridge Between Us"
Title: "The Bridge Between Us" Once in a quiet village nestled between two emerald hills lived two brothers, Arman and Rayan. They were born a year apart, and since childhood, they were inseparable. Their parents, humble farmers, taught them the value of hard work, honesty, and unity. Together they climbed trees, built toy boats, and raced through the fields chasing butterflies. Their laughter echoed across the valleys, and everyone in the village knew that the bond between Arman and Rayan was unbreakable.

When Friends Become Family
I used to think "family" meant those who shared your last name, your childhood stories, and a seat at the holiday dinner table. That belief stayed with me for most of my life—until I found myself thousands of miles from home, surrounded by unfamiliar streets and a silence I wasn’t ready for.
