Is this how stupid people die?” I heard the voice in my head say as my fear spiraled a little. Okay, a lot. The car was slowing down, and I had no idea if this was a good thing or a bad thing. Yet, I was clearly out of options. I was stranded, thirsty, and a long way from where I intended t...

Once upon a time in a little town, there were two special friends named Alina and Aryan. They are special because of their kindness and love for animals. Alina had a big heart and loved to help others. One day, she found a hungry and scared dog named Lucky on the street. Alina and Aryan decided t...

I still remember those lazy Sundays of my youth. While other kids were outside playing tag or building secret forts, I found solace inside our old family house with the gentle clicking of knitting needles echoing in the background.

I used to feel confused when people thought I was attractive. It’s not because I have low confidence; I love myself and know that people love me too. It’s also not because of my past experiences; I’ve attracted both men and women. I’m pretty sure I rank high in attractiveness...

I remember during the summer months when I saw a sick-looking bee or wasp on the pavement. I would place my hand next to it, let it crawl on, and then hold it gently while I continued my walk. Sometimes, the warmth from my hand was all it needed to come alive again, and it would walk to the tips ...

I find it hard to say thank you. It’s hard to accept when gifts of fate and love are bestowed on me. It’s not that I am ungrateful: I am allergic to kindness. I shake. I stutter. There is now a chance for me. There is now a way forward, not just for me but for my mother. You gave us s...

Next week, we will leave Turkey. I’ve never left this country. I’ve never seen the world or met the other people living there. The world is an enigma to me in so many ways. Life is almost devoid of hope when you feel like you are in the bottomless pit of despair. I haven’t been ...
