It is said to allow substances to pass through whilst blocking others that might not be good for the cell. I see this truth in relationships. For relationships and marriages to be…
This morning I noticed something curious. It is something that has always been happening with everyone, but we don’t put our minds to it. My phone battery had dropped overnight, even though I wasn’t using it. This reminded me of something deeper: Phones lose battery simply to stay on. Human beings burn energy just to…
We don’t fall into affairs. We talk our way into them not in one grand leap, but in tiny, casual, and “harmless” steps.
