"His connection with nature was interesting, but over time, his habits started to affect our relationship. The strong odor and lack of basic self-care became a major issue."

I moved to Austin, Texas, on a whim and absolutely loved it. Spent five years there and never regretted it. The nature and nightlife are unbeatable in my opinion. Such a gorgeous place.

"...sending my grandmother a birthday present never felt so easy. I didn't leave the house. I didn't hunt for a printer cable. I didn't even run out of ink and buy the wrong cartridge."

The Guardian's Saturday magazine seeks personal stories of love declarations inspired by art such as songs, books, or films, emphasizing unexpected outcomes.

"Is anyone that oblivious to their impact on others? I feel that to say something would only result in a bitterly unsatisfying and possibly heated exchange over which I'd obsess for the rest of my life."

This exhibition is a poignant engagement with Judith Butler's ideas on precarious life, inviting reflection on how personal narratives intersect with broader sociopolitical themes through diverse artistic mediums.

"Dating around. I was with the same man from age 16 to 24, and we got engaged while I was in college. People were like, 'You don't want to play the field? You don't want to see what other people are like? You don't want to experiment or explore?' I didn't at all."

"I saw a news report done in the early 2000s. They conducted an experiment where they had both male and female models walk down the street and drop a stack of papers. People fell all over themselves trying to help them. They then repeated the exercise with more ordinary-looking men and women, and no one bothered to assist them when they dropped the stack of papers."

I was at the hospital when I bumped into my grandma in the elevator. I asked her why she was there alone and where she was going, but she just smiled. We walked to her hospital room together. When I opened the door, I saw my parents crying. My grandma had already passed away. At that moment, I didn't know how to feel. It was a mix of sadness and fear.

In the beginning, you hear so many awful stories. People you know who have lost family members, friends. Those who have lost their homes. Places that are no longer there.

Having our first child, Agasthya, was an incredible experience, marking a new beginning in our lives and filling our home with joy and love.

Nuns used to come into the gun range where I worked. Mother Superior had a .357 and used to teach the other nuns how to use it. The owner always comped them the range time (charged for ammo though), and a couple of times they even rented AR15s.
