Key Points: Feeling lost and helpless. Maybe now, but this feeling won't last forever. Pray and rest. no need to rush

DEAR ASK A PUNK -The summer is almost over and for the first time in my life, I don't have to go back-to-school in September. I graduated last spring from a state college with a standard 4 year degree and then, like every summer before, moved back to my parent's house and got my old summer job back and was just relieved to be DONE with school, but everything got more expensive this summer and I spent so much money on gas going to and from work and out with my boyfriend or friends (we live in the middle of nowhere, so there's a lot of driving) that I've barely saved anything, not enough to move anywhere or make any major changes. Also I haven't yet done any of the stuff you're supposed to do like write my resume or any of that and I don't know what I'm going to do if September rolls around and I'm still working that same job and sleeping in the room I spent my childhood in. It feels like I'm slipping into a vortex. How do I get out of it? …Summer Girl

This letter confronts the cracks in love and partnership: the transactional dynamic, lack of intimacy, and emotional neglect that bleed into questions of parenting. If presence, effort, and true desire are missing in the relationship, how could they sustain raising a child?

Does nowhere exist? I mean… it can’t exist. The second you try to describe where it is, it becomes somewhere, canceling itself out. For it to exist is a complete contradiction to itself. So maybe by not existing, it becomes itself. Maybe it doesn't need to exist in the universe in order to be.

Writing can be very fun but what happens when you are being put on the spotlight, I can never always come up with the title for what Im writing about most of the time I write when a thought pops up in my head either it literally just appeared or I have been thinking about it for some time and now need to get it out. So when Im being asked what its called that Im writing about my answer is always I don't know yet or Im not sure but that's pretty much with anything not just writing really. But what happens when Im not being asked somehow I seem to have all the answers, maybe its the fear of being judged or having to answer further questions. I know I cant be the only one feeling this way espacially being a writer.

I wonder why its so easy for some people to be able to make online side hustles or affiliate or network marketing work and so many others that it don't work for

TRIGGER WARNING: ABUSE AND SEXUAL ABUSE my moms ex-husband started abusing me when I was 3 and the sexual abuse started when I was 4. it went on for years and even after he went to jail the things he said and did to me stuck in my head for years to come. I'm still trying to heal from them all. I never got my closure or justice he didn't go to jail for what he did to me. I wrote this and posted this back in 2021. when I lost my virginity its like this wall I built up in my mind as a kid came crashing down and all the memories came flooding through of everything he did to me. I wrote this to help me to heal. my family had their suspicions but when I shared what I wrote reality hit them, he had hurt me as well. I hate him with everything in me and I may never get my closure or justice but I wont let him have this hold over me anymore. so like I said I hate him but I forgive him.

I’m caught in a friendship with too many changing feelings. He wants me, he doesn’t. everything is always morphing and causing an intense whiplash.

As a dog trainer, I believe it’s essential that every puppy parent learns to truly understand what their dog—and even other dogs—are trying to communicate. Our furry companions may not speak our language, but they are always “talking” through their body language. When we take the time to observe and interpret these signals, we give them the gift of being heard and understood. This understanding is the foundation of not just effective training, but also of building trust, respect, and the kind of unbreakable bond every pet parent dreams of. By learning a few simple body language cues, you’ll be better equipped to recognize when your dog is happy, nervous, playful, or unsure. To help you get started, I’ve carefully selected the Top 5 Dog Body Language Tips every pet parent should know. With these insights, you’ll open the door to easier training sessions, smoother communication, and a deeper connection with your best friend.

There are many things our world has going on and it can become overwhelming and difficult to process if you are someone who pays attention to the right things.

Greetings. I had two emails this week that didn’t ask specific questions, but they raised some issues that seemed to be worth addressing. So if for some reason you’re disappointed by the nature of my ‘answers’ remember that there weren’t any specific questions asked.

Adults underestimate kids; don’t be that adult. Advice from a 2025 12 year old, over 18s are annoying.

I used to believe I would find happiness, or at least contentment in life by saying "I don't know" to religion and politics. After all, those are topics that cause strife between people.
