Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
The year was 1927—flappers danced, radios buzzed, and Charles Lindbergh had just flown across the Atlantic. America was booming with optimism, jazz, and innovation, but beneath the sparkle of progress, the average person was living a very different kind of reality. Life was cheaper in some ways and far more expensive in others—not just in dollars, but in effort, opportunity, and time. The cost of
Air travel used to feel glamorous—jet-setting across the sky, sipping complimentary drinks, and marveling at the miracle of flight. But somewhere between shrinking legroom, vanishing snacks, and mysterious “maintenance delays,” that magic turned into mild suffering. Today, flying can feel less like a luxurious escape and more like an endurance test at 35,000 feet. And while no airline is perfect, some have turned travel mishaps
Some heroes don’t wear capes—they wear aprons, name tags, steel-toed boots, or neon safety vests. They work early, stay late, and keep the world spinning without any fanfare, applause, or Instagram glory. These are the people who make society function while the rest of us barely notice. From the barista who knows your coffee order before you speak to the janitor who cleans up after
There are certain phrases that instantly reveal a generational time stamp, the verbal equivalent of trying to play a vinyl record on a Bluetooth speaker. Boomers often use expressions they genuinely believe are relatable, wise, or harmless, but to younger generations, these lines can land with the force of a dial-up modem screeching through modern Wi-Fi. It’s not that boomers mean any harm. In fact,
There’s a quiet cultural shift happening across living rooms, phone screens, and family group chats. More millennials than ever are stepping away from their boomer parents—not just creating distance, but ending relationships entirely. This isn’t happening impulsively or without thought. It’s happening after years of emotional strain, clashing values, and the realization that generational loyalty cannot always override personal wellbeing. What might look like rebellion
There’s something almost heroic about wanting to help someone in need. You hear their situation, you see their stress, and your instinct says, “I can fix this.” But money has a strange way of twisting relationships into knots, especially when the person you’re trying to help sees your generosity as a resource instead of a gesture. Lending money can turn trust into tension, and love
The 1920s are often remembered as a glittering whirlwind of jazz sessions, flapper dresses, movie palaces, and champagne poured over crystal staircases. It was a decade that promised endless possibility, a time when new inventions seemed to transform everyday life overnight. Radios crackled in living rooms, Ford assembly lines pumped out cars that the average person could finally afford, and consumer culture swaggered into the
There are conversations where your voice shifts without your permission, your vocabulary edits itself in real time, and your personality seems to slide into a costume designed to “fit” the room. Code-switching isn’t something most people consciously choose; it’s something many of us learn just to survive. It can help you move through different social worlds smoothly, yes, but it can also leave you feeling
Social media is a wild place, and sometimes a single impulsive post can spiral into a full-blown storm. One minute you’re venting about a bad day or an unpopular opinion, and the next, your notifications are flooded with angry replies, screenshots, and hashtags that feel like a public trial. The truth is, cancel culture isn’t always about major scandals—it’s often triggered by small online rants
We all like to think of ourselves as fair, open-minded, and unbiased. Yet, the language we use every day often sneaks in subtle assumptions and stereotypes that reveal otherwise.
