Will AI Replace Me? Why “Augmentation” Is the Word We Should All Use
“Will AI replace me?” It’s the quiet question behind office small talk, late-night scrolling, and career-planning anxiety.

Roots and Fruit
Roots and Fruit Photo by Lukáš Kulla on Unsplash Most people evaluate life by what shows. Results, behavior, success, failure, growth, collapse. Fruit is easier to measure than roots, so it becomes the focus almost by default. When something goes wrong, attention rushes to what is visible and immediate. When something goes right, credit is assigned to the most recent action. But this way of seeing consistently misreads causality. Fruit is never the beginning of the story.

At My Wits’ End . Top Story - February 2026.
Life is about taking out the trash and calling it trash because you have every reason to. It wasn't meant to be linear, they say. But the times you tried to make it straight led to problems, and you didn’t have the tools to put any of it to use. You don't put your right shoes on the right feet; you put the left shoes on the left feet. The grey hardened slab will trip you up anyway.

The 3 Real Reasons Relationships Drift Into Infidelity
You know, in case you are reading this, you have been cheated on, or you are too scared of being cheated on. That nauseating combination of betrayal, confusion, and "why me" strikes a blow—I understand, as I have sat opposite couples who were weeping, trying to put together what had gone wrong.

The Quiet Weight of True Connection
In the age of instant notifications, screen-facilitated encounters and conversations fragmented by algorithms, a gentle yet persistent question arises: have we forgotten true connection? Not technical connection — constant and seamless but the kind that links two consciousnesses in an invisible space made of presence, listening, and vulnerability.

What car troubles taught me about perfectionism
Often, when we’re chasing perfection, it can feel like everything goes wrong at once. One thing breaks, then another. A friend seems a bit distant and then an unexpected phone bill arrives. Before long, we start telling ourselves that everything has gone to shit and it’s all our fault.
