Your wife cut the brakes.” Alexander froze. Standing near the streetlight was a boy—fifteen, maybe—his hoodie two sizes too big, his face…
Influencers could undergo a dramatic transformation over the next 25 years. By 2050, a “horrifying” new breed of social media stars may emerge, according to predictions from a recent scientific study. Just 25 years ago, the concept of social media—and influencers—barely existed. Now, it dominates daily life, with many of today’s biggest celebrities falling into that very category. Being an influencer today is more than maintaining an online presence. It means providing a service—often in the form of ads, endorsements, and collaborations—worth thousands, if not millions, of dollars annually. Even smaller creators have demonstrated just how far their earnings can…

I used to believe that love and sacrifice spoke louder than money and papers. That if you gave your all for someone, people would recognize it. But life has a way of testing that belief. For years, I was my mother’s shadow. I bathed her when her strength faded. I cooked her meals when her hands shook too much to hold a spoon. I read to her when her eyesight dimmed, and when the pain became unbearable, I sat by her bedside, squeezing her hand until the wave passed. Nights blurred into mornings. I slept in a chair beside her…
