Marcus Aurelius ruled Rome for almost two decades, and he did it while fighting wars, surviving a plague, and burying children. He wasn’t writing for an audience.

There’s a moment a lot of women who wear hijab know well — the first time someone assumes something about them based on a piece of cloth. Oppressed. Quiet. Old-fashioned.

There’s a version of “relationship goals” that gets thrown around online — perfectly staged photos, captions that promise a fairytale, a kind of love that looks flawless because it’s curated to look that way.

Everyone wants to succeed. But there’s a version of “success” you’ll find all over social media — hustle culture, grind at all costs, sacrifice everything for the win — that just doesn’t sit right with a lot of us.
