“In what world are we living in,” Mrs. Peterson said again, a statement rather than a question this time, as she clutched a porcelain piggy as if a pet. “They violated my space. Maybe it looked cluttered before, but I knew where everything was.” Officer Hughes shifted his weight on the chair. The room was…

You know that question: What would you do if money were no object? Nice icebreaker. Maybe a good insight into someone’s goals, hopes and dreams. But it’s almost turned into a bit of a pet peeve for me lately. No, I’m not turning into a grumpy old man (I hope not anyway). Let me explain.…

Ah, food… It’s funny how unstable my relationship with food is. More on that later. Food, food, glorious food. Or rather, dishes. I have 3 favourite dishes from Guadeloupe (my goodness, I DO love threes! Triple impact was my 2026 theme ) My top 2: Dombré (pronounced ” Don-Bray”) and Bokit (“Bow”-“kit”). Oh, I’d die…

Mid 2026. A little reflection was in order, and oh boy, was it needed. But before I go further, let me address the elephant in the room: If you have read me recently, you could be mistaken in thinking that I blame the system for everything. That’s not my aim. We’re not absolved from everything.…

6:14 on her phone. Then 6:19. She dozed off. Next time she looked: 11:52 AM. The hallway was pitched in a darkness that belonged to midnight, not late morning. She checked the phone again, half expecting a glitch. It held firm. Outside, the sky was black. She checked the study clock, then her laptop. All…

There is a story you tell yourself to make sense of things. School didn’t prepare you for the real world. Then the real world promised guides, but the guides were hard to find, and when you found them, they didn’t know your terrain. So the structure fails you quietly, repeatedly, and the story writes itself:…

“Too big to fail“. We say it about banks. A bank gets reckless, starts to collapse, and someone rescues it anyway. Not because it earned it. Because too much now depends on it staying open. That’s what happens to any institution once it gets large enough to be worth protecting. You’ve felt the same reflex…

A few months before the role disappears, there usually are signs. A routine meeting gets cancelled for no reason. A project we’re on gets quietly handed sideways. An email thread we used to be copied on no longer includes us. We explain the signs away on the company’s behalf. Something urgent. Busy quarter. Last-minute change.…

There is one website I’ve been mourning for more than a decade now. I was on it between 2011 and 2012, and I still keep its ashes in a proverbial urn. 43 Things. Apparently, it was a nod to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Specifically, a reference to the answer to the Ultimate Question…

Something starts to shift when you pay attention long enough. The script you were handed, school, degree, career ladder, institutional safety net, all of it stops feeling like the way to go. Things stop adding up. The life promised doesn’t materialise. I’m Rudiano. Across the Rudiverse, whether that’s the essays at rethinkcreative.online, the analytical deep…
