It happened with Facebook, Instagram or Twitter, and it happens with Airbnb. A long time ago, in the late 00s and early 10s, the service was conceived as an inexpensive alternative to hotels, as well as an opportunity for hosts who have a free room to earn some side money and meet new friends from all over the world....

With nowhere else to turn, they made the heartbreaking decision to leave the puppy at the shelter’s door, hoping a stranger would do what they couldn’t: keep him safe....

I was 20, studying photography and, as they say, living life the fullest. But that was not the real me. That real me was planning to put an end to my life, to stop that war in my head.

Parenthood is both an incredibly wonderful and very difficult thing. Wonderful – because literally every day gives you new discoveries, new emotions. Difficult – because these discoveries and emotions are far from being always pleasant.

Sometimes it goes away on its own, sometimes you need the help of a child psychologist....
