What It’s Like to Marry the Right Person
There’s a common belief that love is an unpredictable, mercurial force, like a lightning storm that either electrifies you into an ecstatic state or fries you into charcoal. This belief is mostly bullshit. Love is mostly logistics. It’s about how much effort it takes to exist next to another human being without wanting to spontaneously relocate to a different time zone.
Happiness Isn’t Something You Find—It’s Something You Build
For many of us, happiness feels like something just out of reach—a future destination we’ll arrive at once we get the right job, find the perfect partner, or hit that next big milestone. But research on well-being tells a different story: happiness isn’t something you discover. It’s something you create.
That’s good news because it means you don’t have to wait for your circumstances to change to start feeling happier. Small, intentional choices in your daily life can have a profound effect on your mood, your outlook, and even your long-term well-being.

1. Unwanted intrusive thoughts are normal and do not mean you are a bad person (yes, even intrusions of sexual/religious/moral themes).
By definition, these are thoughts that are unwanted bc they go against your own values and highlight what you don’t want to do (eg, a religious person having unwanted blasphemous images pop into their mind, or a new parent having unwanted sexual thoughts about their new baby).
However normal these thoughts are (over 90% of the population), the moral nature of these thoughts mean that often people experience a lot of shame and take many years before they first tell someone about them.
Why Are Graphing Calculators Still So Expensive?
If you’ve ever shopped for a graphing calculator, you’ve probably asked yourself the same question: Why does this thing cost over $100?
After all, we live in an era where smartphones are more powerful than most desktop computers from a decade ago. There are free apps that can solve complex calculus problems in seconds. And yet, somehow, the TI-84 Plus—a calculator that first launched in 2004—still retails for around $120.

Why Strength Training is Non-Negotiable for a Long, Healthy Life
If you want to live longer—and, more importantly, stay strong and independent while doing it—there’s one habit you can’t afford to ignore: lifting weights.
Research has long shown that aerobic exercise, like walking or jogging, is excellent for heart health and longevity. But increasingly, scientists are finding that strength training is just as essential, if not more so, for maintaining a high quality of life as we age. Studies consistently show that regular resistance training helps preserve muscle, strengthen bones, and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Perhaps most compelling, it also appears to lower the risk of premature death—even more than some well-known risk factors like smoking or diabetes.
