Chaos isn’t random—it exposes our flaws. Maybe Trump is just a symptom, not the cause. Maybe the problem is deeper, rooted in a culture that thrives on instantaneous gratification, always chasing the next “biggest,” “best,” or “number one.” Traveling beyond packaged...

We chase love like it’s a prize, a destination, a missing piece that someone else holds. We romanticize the hunt, believing that love exists outside of us—if only we could find the right person to give it to us. But what if the love we’re searching for isn’t something...

I’ve been reading The Origins of You, and something struck me—how easy it is to intellectualize trauma. I’ve done it. Maybe you have too. We can understand someone’s pain logically, analyze it, even explain it. But when that pain touches us directly, it’s a different...
