Out of nowhere she spooked and took off. She started to throw monstrous kicks — one, two, three and eventually my 6 year old little arms gave out and off I went, over her head and down into the dirt on mine....
Imagine this situation, that of a youth in Iran. Iran, as we know it through our media, does not suggest the development of youth. But behind a stifling political system and inquisitive clichés, young people dream of a break-up while proudly defending Iranian culture. Everyone challenges the prohibitions in their own way to try to define their freedoms and draw a progressive path to change. Because the ardor of youth has no borders or ideology....

We all know those little yet meaningful signs that signal what kind of season is coming towards us. It might be the chilly crisp air, the occasional sight of early but so welcome fairy lights, occasional Christmas carols playing on the radio in your car while going to work or the appearance of mince pies and decorations at the shops.

The words “you’re fired” are horrifying to hear. Whether you’re new to the job or an experienced old-timer, they’re a real shot to your confidence. Naturally, your initial reaction might be to shout, cry, and figure out a way to spend all the vacation days. But getting laid off does not necessarily mean the end of your career. Or that you did something inherently wrong. Earlier this month, Reddit user No_StopItStepbro submitted a story to the popular ‘ Anti Work ‘ community about their coworker who, after being with the company for over 7 years, got terminated for showing up late, even though that was the first time he slipped up like that....

We all know what a terrible thing abuse is. It not only damages a person’s body and overall health, but it creates mental scars too. And the thing about one’s mental health is that sometimes it likes to trick people. For example, convince them that something bad that’s happening to them, like abuse, isn’t so bad. And sometimes, even years later, they still can’t shake off this way of thinking....
Some grandparents are basically sent here from heaven – they take care of the kid, respect parents’ boundaries, and are just overall nice human beings. But if some are from heaven, others are here straight from hell , as they are direct opposites of them. Well, the grandma from today’s story was more similar to the second type of grandparents. She not only dismissed a very meaningful parents’ boundary by saying it’s nonsense, but she also made them out to be villains for enforcing it in the first place....
You know that feeling when you hop into a warm bath or open the pages of a good book, that ‘aaaaah’ feeling of relaxation, the feeling that ‘you’re home’ after a long day, that is what I’m aiming for when I create my paintings.

That’s what some Israeli office workers think will help save Planet Earth. Because every little bit of effort helps. Some offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem now have photos of the teenager’s face placed near plastic cups and one-time-use utensils to discourage their use. Shame. Shame . Shame !...
