At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

Relationships are one of the greatest spiritual mirrors we will ever face. Not the fairytale version. Not the Instagram version. The real one.

The one where two imperfect souls collide and spend years learning how to exist inside each other’s gravity. At first it feels easy. Love feels effortless. Desire feels natural. But time has a way of revealing everything we try to hide…ego, insecurity, expectations, wounds we didn’t even know we carried.

Resentment begins to whisper. “Why don’t they appreciate what I do?” Meanwhile somewhere across the room the other person is asking the exact same question. Two people, both feeling unseen. Both convinced they are giving more than they receive.

This is the quiet battlefield of long relationships. Different people love in different currencies. Some build the home. Some build the future. Some offer stability. Some push growth. Some offer touch. Some offer effort.

When those languages don’t match, love can feel absent even when it’s everywhere. Eventually life teaches a brutal but liberating truth: You will never receive everything you believe you deserve from another human being. And neither will they.

The couples that survive long enough eventually realize something most people never understand. Winning the argument isn’t the victory. Peace is. At some point you’ve seen the same fight play out enough times to recognize the pattern. The same storm. The same threats of leaving. The same exhaustion.

And you begin to ask a different question. Not “Who’s right?” But “What actually leads to harmony?” Real love isn’t the absence of frustration. It’s the slow evolution of two people learning how to navigate each other’s flaws without destroying what they’ve built together. It’s choosing understanding over ego. Perspective over pride. Growth over resentment.

Years pass. And the love that remains is no longer the naïve fire of the beginning. It becomes something quieter. Something stronger. Two souls who have seen the worst parts of each other…and still choose to stay, adapt, and keep building the life between them.

That kind of love doesn’t happen overnight. It is forged slowly…in patience, awareness, and the humility to realize that we are all still learning how to love, and be loved.
