T he future still happens. Even if no one looks directly at it. The window was open. But the air wasn’t coming in. Somewhere, a bird hit glass. Twice. Then silence. They said the cities were calm. That nothing had changed. Except how often the clocks checked themselves. And yet, people started locking doors without knowing why. A kind of inherited caution. Like muscle memory from a life they didn’t live. Even the wind felt watched. It passed through streets in unfinished sentences. The stoplights blinked out of rhythm, like they were waiting for something that had already gone past. A boy on a bike rode in circles, humming a tune older than his grandparents. No one remembered the words, but everyone knew when to hum along. At the corner café, chairs stayed warm longer than expected. No one sat. But their absence pressed deep into the cushions. Maybe we never stopped repeating. We just started recording it better. The parades. The speeches. The things we promise to never forget. Until w...

  A story doesn’t need to end to be unfinished. The chain kept slipping. The tires were never quite full. The brakes squealed like something asking to be left alone. Still, he tried. You remember the way he crouched beside it in the fading light, adjusting bolts that didn’t care and turning screws that never stayed. It wasn’t about the bike. Not really. Why do we keep fixing things that never take us anywhere? He never said what he wanted from you. Maybe he didn’t know. Maybe the only way he understood love was through repetition: the turning of a wrench, the straightening of a wheel, the oil on his fingers that always stained the door handle. You learned to watch without asking. You learned to listen without sound. Some people called it a father. Some never gave it a name. You never rode that bike far. But it carried something. Even now, your hands remember. When something breaks, you reach for tools first. Not questions. Not feelings. Just action. That was his language. And now, ...

Some friendships bloom before we know how to keep them. The grass knew our weight before we knew what leaving meant. And under that crooked fence where sunlight filtered like secrets, something unnamed was growing between a bark and a purr. What makes a friendship unforgettable if it doesn't last? They weren’t supposed to get along. One barked. One hissed. One chased. One vanished into shadows. But in that backyard, their instincts softened. He was a golden retriever with mud on his tongue and wonder in his bones. She was a gray tabby who moved like smoke and judged everything from the top of the shed. At first, they circled each other like memory and silence. Then they stayed. There was no reason. Just a rhythm. They shared water. Fought over sunspots. Slept in accidental touch. They didn’t have language, but they had presence. And that was enough. Sometimes, that’s how the most tender friendships begin. Not with a promise. But with an absence of threat. And while adults wr...

Some invaders don’t break doors. They change the furniture. It began with forgetting. Not in the mind, but in the body. A slip in rhythm. A weight where there had never been pressure. A bruise that lingered too long, as if the skin had decided to mourn something in silence. You didn’t call it anything, not yet. It was just a pause. A glitch. A breath held slightly longer than usual. The house was still quiet, but something had moved in. What if the monster doesn’t roar? What if it waits, polite, in the lining of your cells? You start closing the windows. Not real ones. The windows of language. You stop saying "I'm fine" with conviction. You avoid the word "tired" because it no longer feels metaphorical. Time folds in strange ways now. Days blur. You sleep, but it doesn’t repair you. There is something inside you spending energy faster than you can make it. When it finally gets a name, it's almost a relief. There. Now it has shape. Now you know the monster is...

Some thoughts only bloom when the body gives up pretending There is a certain hour when the pillow stops feeling like a place to rest and starts becoming a door. The kind of door that only opens when no one else is looking. Behind it, the thought is already waiting. Not new. Not urgent. Just patient. And familiar in a way that feels like breathing underwater. What Is It About the Night That Makes Everything Louder? It isn't silence that reveals the thought. It's the absence of interruption. No ping. No reply. No feeds. Just you and that one persistent echo that the day helped you ignore. For some, it's the thing they didn’t say. For others, the moment they wish they could rewrite. A regret still pacing. A hope asking for one more chance. The night doesn't ask questions. It holds them. In that stillness, even the furniture seems to breathe slower. The room becomes a stage, the shadows the audience. And the mind, once quiet, begins to speak with no filter. The young think...

There’s a kind of quiet only the sky remembers. The moon was there last night. Hanging low, tired, and too full. But no one looked. Not really. It sat above the rooftops like a forgotten guest at its own memorial. No one whispered to it. No one made wishes. The moon used to mean something. Now, it just means night. Do We Still See What Once Guided Us? There was a time when the moon was not a background. It was direction. Myth. Warning. Seduction. A farmer’s signal. A sailor’s compass. A lover’s alibi. The moon held stories before books were written. Now it holds still for a smartphone camera, framed between filters that flatten it into familiarity. We lost reverence not from disrespect, but from distraction. When was the last time you looked up and listened? Not scrolled. Not shared. Just looked. Silence used to follow moonlight. A hush across fields, across skin. It said you are small, and that is beautiful. It said some things will always be far, and that is part of their magic. It s...

Some people don’t disappear. They just go silent. The bus kept running, but no one was speaking. Not to each other. Not to themselves. Just the glow of tired screens on tired faces. Outside, the city was pulsing. Inside, it was already gone. What Happens When the Question Dies Before It Leaves the Mouth? There was a time when “Are you okay?” carried weight. A pulse check. A thread between hearts. But somewhere between the headlines, the deadlines, the feed scrolls, and the blue light insomnia, we stopped offering it. Or maybe we forgot how. Not because we didn’t care, but because we were too close to the edge ourselves. Grief became common. Exhaustion became culture. Loneliness became wallpaper. It wasn't a single moment. It was gradual. Like a candle that doesn’t go out, just flickers until you forget it was ever burning. We started assuming everyone was fine, or wanted to be left alone, or would reach out if they needed us. But pain rarely sends notifications. Sometimes it just w...
