"Quiet, you whistle in my brain

like a balloon."

Excerpt From: Erika L. Sánchez. “Lessons on Expulsion.”

There's nothing like your child's first birthday to let you know who actually cares and who doesn't, and there's people in my life who were supposed to be close enough for my child to matter to them, but they've proven they don't care. So snip snip, you're out.

Change

A little caterpillar crawled around eating all the green it found until its tummy was nice and full and he began to feel this deep-down pull spun round and round a hundred ways until hidden from sight behind silken lace Slowly he fell into dreams Later he woke and got out of his cocoon Stuck on his branch under the moon He tried crawling like he always did But did not seem to manage it While he struggled on and on A ladybug next to him sang a song It went:

My friend Crawling is no more your way as you are not the you from yesterday Why keep on struggling so? Just flap your wings and let the old you go

Be the Drop That Paints the Sky

You don’t need to be the storm to make a difference.

Even a single drop of water can paint the sky with colors.

No matter how small you feel, your energy, your kindness, your creativity — it matters.

Be the drop that creates rainbows.

Years.

What hurts you most is not what people did, rather than your high expectations of them. All love and dreams that you held on so tight, Your expectations of what would you do if you were in their shoes. Release the grip of phantoms in your mind, let forgiveness like a balm unwind. Then, with the scars that wisdom softly writes, You'll rise renewed to greet the future's lights. Sit with the hurt, sit with the pain, heal in your solitude, and move on.

Sometimes you need to sleep, sleep a lot. Not to escape, but to rest your soul from your feelings. Because everything, absolutely everything devours you. Completely.

The Law of Attraction After a Decade: 4 Lessons You Need to Know.

Alright, let’s get real for a minute. The Law of Attraction has been everywhere for the past decade — from viral TikToks to those Instagram quotes that make you pause and think, maybe? But after all the hype and hustle, what’s the actual truth behind it?

Is it just fluff? Or is there something deeper that can actually change your life?

Here’s what I’ve learned after watching people crush it (and struggle) with the Law of Attraction over the years — four no-nonsense lessons you need to hear if you want this thing to work for you.

It’s Not Magic, It’s Mindset + Hustle If you think the Law of Attraction means sitting on your couch, thinking about your dream life, and suddenly waking up rich or famous… well, I hate to break it to you, but that’s not how it works.

Your mindset is powerful — no doubt. Visualizing your goals helps you focus, but action? That’s the real MVP. The Law of Attraction is really just about tuning your brain to spot chances — then going after them like your life depends on it.

Get Specific or Get Lost “I want to be happy” or “I want success” — cool, but what does that really mean?

The clearer you are about what you want, the easier it is for your brain (and the universe, if you’re into that) to align with it. It’s like trying to find a restaurant without the address — good luck getting there!

So, get down to the nitty-gritty. What do you want? Money? Health? Love? How much? By when? The more specific, the better.

Positive Doesn’t Mean Pollyanna Here’s a little secret no one tells you: life sucks sometimes. And just thinking positive won’t fix everything.

The trick is something called realistic optimism — acknowledging that yes, life can throw curveballs, but you believe you can handle them. It’s about being hopeful and honest with yourself, not pretending everything’s perfect when it’s not.

The Universe Has Its Own Plans — Be Ready to Pivot You might think you want X — but life might hand you Y, and sometimes Y turns out way better.

The Law of Attraction isn’t a guarantee, it’s a guide. So keep your eyes open and your mind flexible. If an unexpected door opens, walk through it — you never know where it leads.

So, What’s the Real Deal? The Law of Attraction isn’t just some cheesy hashtag. It’s a mindset mix of clarity, action, hope, and flexibility. Nail those, and you’re not just wishing for good stuff — you’re making it happen.

Members of a private WhatsApp group, including billionaires like the CEO of Dell and the former CEO of Starbucks, allegedly used the chat to discuss ways to pressure New York City Mayor Eric Adams to use police to crack down on Gaza solidarity protests at the city’s universities, according to The Washington Post. AJ+ has not seen the chat messages referenced in The Washington Post’s report directly. ⁣

NYPD officers raided encampments at schools like Columbia University and the City College of New York, arresting close to 200 protesters in just one day. The police raid at Columbia in late April was the first on-campus mass arrest in 50 years, with police using riot gear and military-grade weapons against mostly peaceful protesters. ⁣

⁣

While Gaza solidarity encampments have been frequently targeted with violence by police and pro-Israel agitators – and over 2,200 people have been arrested – a study found that out of over 550 Gaza protests at U.S. universities, 97% have been peaceful. ⁣
