Greetings, @holos-lotus friends. Last night, after dinner, when I sat down to read as usual, my son asked me at what age I planned to retire. I didn't understand why he asked, since I don't even wear glasses

Greetings, everyone. I'm a writer. But that, despite what many people think, doesn't mean my job consists of sitting down and writing only when inspiration strikes. Not at all. My job is to sit down and

Greetings, everyone. I prefer working from home, @jane1289. I always have. I'm an editor. My job demands absolute concentration. I need silence to read texts, to correct structures, to find those errors

Greetings, Holos Lotus community. I feel there's a very simple yet profound truth in what I'm about to write. Creating something new is incredibly difficult. I know this because I experience it every time

Happy March 8th, ladies! Today is March 8th, and I join the chorus in saying: Happy International Women's Day. But, if I may, I've always thought this greeting falls short. In reality: every day is Women's

Greetings, everyone. They say life is a grand play. I have no doubt about that. That's why I've always been drawn to grand theaters. I've always wanted to be here, on the stage, to feel the wooden floor

Greetings, everyone. I have a dear friend, but talking to him can be exhausting. He always has a problem: work, his partner, his health, the government, the weather. I listen attentively, try to contribute

Greetings, everyone. I write this knowing it will be recorded. On some server, in some backup, somewhere I'll no longer have access to. It's the nature of our times: almost everything we do, say, or write

Greetings, everyone. I've seen my mother in a hospital bed. I've cared for my children when they're sick. I've also seen a friend, far too young, withering away inside while his body still seemed strong

Greetings, everyone. A few months ago, I was sick and bedridden for something trivial, but it knocked me out for a couple of days. Nothing serious, and I'm fine now, but those two days saw nothing but
