Learning Abuse is Okay. Content Warning.
My coparent and I agreed on when our children would call me. A schedule because he said that I was interfering with his parenting time. Our children have long called me twice a day if I wasn't physically available to them. I understand how much my ex hates it, but hey, I hate things too - it is called putting our children first.

Venezuela News Today Feels Heavy With Waiting and Uncertainty
There is a certain silence that follows countries living in long uncertainty. Venezuela news often carries that quiet weight. It is not always loud headlines or sudden shocks. More often, it is about waiting. Waiting for stable electricity. Waiting for affordable food. Waiting for clear answers. Outside observers may see numbers and politics, but inside the country, people feel time stretching in uncomfortable ways. Families adapt, routines shift, and hope learns to survive in small forms.

It’s okay to fall. It’s okay to rise anyway.

The Day the Stadium Felt Like Church
I wasn’t born into fandom. I was adopted into it. At ten years old, I didn’t understand offside rules or midfield rotations. I only knew that every Sunday, my grandfather would take my hand, walk me three blocks to the edge of the stadium, and sit with me on a cracked concrete step—just outside the gates, where the roar of the crowd bled into the street like a hymn.
