-an OD of Love-

 Mia moglie dormiva accanto a me quando all'improvviso ho ricevuto una notifica da Facebook: una donna mi aveva chiesto di aggiungerla come amica. Così l'ho aggiunta. Ho accettato la richiesta di amicizia e ho inviato un messaggio chiedendo: "Ci conosciamo?". Lei ha risposto: "Ho sentito dire che ti sei sposato, ma tu mi piaci ancora." 😧 Era un'amica del passato. Appariva così bellissima nella foto. Ho chiuso la chat e ho guardato mia moglie, che dormiva profondamente dopo una giornata stancante di lavoro. Guardandola, ho pensato a quanto si sentisse sicura da poter dormire così comodamente con me. Lei è lontana dalla casa dei suoi genitori, dove ha passato 37 anni circondata dalla sua famiglia. Quando era triste o infelice, c'era sua madre a cui poteva piangere sul grembo. Sua sorella o suo fratelli le raccontavano barzellette e la facevano ridere. Suo padre tornava a casa e le portava tutto ciò che le piaceva, eppure lei aveva così tanta fiducia i

 Today, I know I'm different, but back then, during my childhood, no one knew, and no one could have known, given the mystery that still surrounds this condition. My home was sometimes filled with noise. I was scolded and often hit for my quirks, especially by my mother, and the neighbor's children, who teased me endlessly. "Don't rock back and forth, or they'll notice you're strange!" "Don't talk to yourself, or they'll think you're crazy!" These were my mother's words, yelled when I was seven years old. "...they'll think you're crazy!" My grandmother's house, on the other hand, was filled with silence. The city noises were pleasantly distant and muffled. The TV and radio were always turned off. My grandmother was a quiet person. But more than anything else, she was a very gentle, sensitive, kind, and wise woman. Anything she said was the distillation of a lifetime spent bringing people together and doing ev

In the world of work, you may encounter bosses who redefine the term "bastard." Some bosses are so morally bankrupt that their actions leave you stunned, wondering if there's a shred of humanity left in them. My ex-boss belongs to that category - a heartless individual who didn't hesitate to fire me, a week after my father died, during a time of profound grief, just to replace me with someone willing to work for half the wage. But, you know what? To a certain extent, I consider this ordeal a godsend. I'm no longer angry because I believe that everything happens for a reason.

You muster the strength to keep going, to inform your employer of your situation, and hope for a glimmer of understanding. But what do you receive instead? Another pink sl

Disney+ has boldly unleashed "The Full Monty Series," a creature of a distinctly different stripe from the film.

In a world where numbers could easily wrap your mind in a Gordian knot, we often find ourselves gawking at financial figures that are as elusive as a unicorn tap-dancing on a rainbow. Take €4.7 million, for instance. Most folks wouldn't even dream of getting that cozy with such a hefty sum. But what about €47 million? Ah, that's when things take a quantum leap into the realm of the unfathomable. Understanding these colossal numbers can be as bewildering as decoding a chicken's attempts at writing Shakespeare. Let's put it into perspective. Imagine you were counting seconds instead of sheep before drifting off to sleep. It would take you about 11 days to count to a million seconds. Now, brace yourself, because it would take you a staggering 32 years to count to a billion seconds. And if you're daring enough to even attempt counting to a trillion seconds, be prepared to dedicate 32,000 years of your life to the endeavor. Now that's what we call a numerical maratho

 You're like a soft wind on a warm night, Holding hands, under the moon's light. With you, everything feels just right, Bringing peace, everything's alright. A gentle hug after a tough day, Your touch makes all worries sway. When we kiss, they all fade away, With you, it feels like home, I say. Being next to you feels so true, Safe and warm, in love with you. Wrapped in your arms, skies so blue, Here with you, it feels like home, it's true. Photo by Ian Schneider on Unsplash

In the world of football, a recent event that should have been a simple gesture of goodwill has unexpectedly turned into a topic of heated debate. This incident has ignited discussions not only about sports but also about feminism and its role in shaping perceptions and interactions on and off the field. At the center of this debate is a friendly kiss shared between a coach and a footballer. What was intended to be a moment of encouragement and friendship has now spiraled into a larger conversation about feminism, consent, and the nature of modern football. Many are wondering why a simple kiss has caused such a stir and how feminism plays into the equation. Some argue that modern feminist viewpoints are turning every interaction into a potential battleground for gender issues. They claim that by scrutinizing and critiquing even innocent gestures, feminism is changing the way we perceive and experience everyday situations. However, it's essential to understand that the ongoing conve

Once upon a time, in a picturesque fishing village, a boat gently rocked against the dock, as if whispering tales of the sea to the villagers. Little did anyone know, this boat would soon play a part in a story that would challenge modern notions of success, wealth, and happiness. Photo by Cassiano Psomas on Unsplash One sunny day, a curious tourist, wearing a hat that seemed almost as adventurous as the tales he sought, approached the local fishermen. Their fishing skills were legendary, and their catches were impressive. With a grin as wide as the ocean horizon, the tourists praised the quality of their fish and couldn't help but wonder: How long did it take to catch such delectable treasures? The fishermen, a group of weathered yet cheerful souls, responded in unison, "Not very long." Intrigued, the tourist probed further, "But why not stay out longer and catch even more fish?" The fishermen, their eyes sparkling with the wisdom of generations, explained tha
