The Unexpected Love
Thomas stepped out of the bathroom in the early morning, having finished his bath. His damp hair clung coldly to his head, and he rubbed it dry with the help of a towel. On the table in front of him lay his mobile phone, plugged into the charger. A notification tone chimed—the sound of an incoming message. His attention immediately shifted toward it.

The surprising trend of converting to Islam around the world: Why people are choosing Islam despite Islamophobia.
Walk into a mosque in New York, Paris, or London, and you may find a surprising sight. A young woman who once followed no religion now ties a scarf around her head. A middle-aged man who grew up Christian bends his forehead to the ground in prayer. A college student from Asia, raised with no faith practice, learns Arabic words of worship with shining eyes. All around the world, Islamophobia dominates headlines, yet an opposite, quieter trend unfolds every day: thousands continue to embrace Islam.

We Are Not the Same as We Were, Are We?
There was a time—not too long ago—when life glowed with a different kind of warmth. Families gathered around dinner tables, not just to eat but to share stories, laughter, and even the quiet comfort of being together. Friends spent long afternoons in gossip, playful arguments, and silly mistakes that became unforgettable memories. Children filled the streets and fields, playing games until the sun dipped below the horizon. Villages were alive with the music of conversations, celebrations, and the simple joy of belonging.

The Lives of Others. Top Story - September 2025.
Like millions of other people, I commute daily; an hour on public transport each way to the nearest large city. I've taken the same bus journey so many times I recognize the drivers and their schedules and I can sleep most of it without missing my stop. I can see the fucking road with my eyes closed and I swear I have developed a sixth sense for when and where a traffic jam will occur, what buses will be late, and when I'll struggle to get a seat (always when the University is in session, always - I swear some of the students think their book bags have a ticket too the way they seat hog)...

How Shared Humor Sustains Love Over the Years
Common jokes are an important bonding factor in long-term relationships – a language created by the couple for the couple. Humor contributes to a sense of optimism and emotional strength, helping a couple to weather stress and adversity. "Any kind of silly thing that happens among friends is just as likely to happen in their chat."Inside jokes and friendly ribbing or just laughing along off-handedly can add an intimacy that's volatile if done in other ways. When these moments of fun are shared it builds relational satisfaction over time as our everyday lives become laden with connection moments. It's more than just fun and games – it's part of love and a healthy relationship, and a good way to care for your emotions.

Pink Jobs, Blue Jobs, but Now They Are Purple
A very good friend of mine and his wife often discuss pink jobs and blue jobs. Confused?" "A man and his wife are arguing about who should bring the coffee each morning. The wife said, “You should do it because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long for our coffee.” The husband replied, “You are in charge of cooking around here, and you should do it! Because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee.” His wife quickly says, “No, you should do it. You're in charge of drinks. Plus, the Bible says that men should make the coffee." Her husband smirks and says, “You’re crazy. I don’t believe you; show me where it says that.” She goes to get the Bible. Then, she opens the New Testament. She points to the top of several pages. It clearly says, .... "HEBREWS."

The Stranger Who Returned My Lost Journal
I’ve always kept a journal. Not a neat, leather-bound diary with perfect cursive entries, but a messy little notebook that went everywhere with me. It was filled with scribbled ideas, unfiltered feelings, doodles in the margins, and dreams I wasn’t ready to say out loud. That journal was more me than any photo or social media profile could ever be.

Ten Ways I Failed as a Canadian Teaching in Japan (And What I Learned From It)
The Shocking Truth About Teaching Abroad When I first moved from Canada to Japan to teach English, I thought I was prepared. I grew up chatty, curious, and able to ramble about everything from politics to maple syrup. I assumed that if anyone asked me about Canada, I’d have ten minutes of material ready to go without even thinking.

“The Night That Turned Into a New Beginning”
The night was supposed to be ordinary. Nothing more than the usual routine of walking home after a long, exhausting day. The streets were quiet, the kind of silence that feels heavier than noise. I remember feeling trapped inside my own head, weighed down by regrets and unfulfilled dreams. My life had fallen into a cycle: work, eat, sleep, repeat. It wasn’t living—it was just surviving.
