In these uncertain times—when people grow more divided, fear dominates the headlines, and kindness feels rare—it’s more important than ever to remember the stories that remind us there is still good in the world. Sometimes, it even comes from a stranger.This story happened to me after more than 20 hours of travel and two long-haul flights from Australia. Anyone who’s taken such a journey knows the relief that floods in when you're close to home. We had landed in Milan, just one short flight to Budapest left before I could collapse into my ow...

She felt energized and had made lots of plans for how she was going to spend the day. She decided she wouldn’t let the universe affect her mood and dictate how to live her ...
Chapter 1: The Lonely Lighthouse KeeperShe sighed, feeling the weight of her solitude pressing down on her. Life in the lighthouse was lonely, especially during storms like this one. There were no neighbors to chat with, no friends to visit, just endless days spent tending to the beacon that guided ships safely through the treacherous waters.Making her way downstairs to the cozy kitchen, Luna set about preparing a pot of tea to warm herself up.

I just moved into the new city. The air buzzed with excitement and possibility, every street corner holding the promise of a new adventure. New city, new job, new opportunity —it all felt within reach, yet the prospect of change stirred a blend of exhilaration and fear within me. What if this is a mistake and I’ll be repeating the same pattern over and over again?Anyway, not everything is under my control, but I can control few things, so I decided to take up morning running. That summer morning at 6 am, when the city was quiet and the ...
