The Refiner’s Fire Is Not the Whetstone
There is a difference between being sharpened and being transformed, and confusing the two leads to frustration when growth does not feel productive. Sharpening implies refinement of existing form.

Got Extra Fat?
It all started with a discovery that didn’t seem particularly life-altering. A cosmetics company sponsoring research on human longevity figured out special properties of the cells that make up the outer human ear, scientifically known as Keratinized Stratified Squamous Epithelium (KSSE), or type of tissue characterized by multiple layers of flattened cells that are hardened and waterproofed by keratin. Specifically, KSSE have longer biological life and virtually do not age or form wrinkles.

When Love Meets Legacy: How Romantic Relationships Shape the Stories We Leave Behind
Introduction Love is not merely a fleeting emotion confined to a moment in time; it is the foundation upon which legacies are built. When two lives intertwine in romance, they create a narrative that extends far beyond their immediate relationship. Their love becomes a thread woven into the broader tapestry of family traditions, artistic expressions, memories, and cultural identities. In this exploration, we reflect on how romantic relationships shape the stories we leave behind, touching every aspect of our lives—from the intimate corners of home to the grand stages of art and collective memory.
