Ever stumbled upon a story that tugged at your heartstrings and stayed with you long after reading it?

That’s precisely what happened to me last week when I came across Linda Caroll’s powerful piece, “No One Really Tells You The Hardest Part Of Getting Older.” I’ve seen countless stories on Medium, but this one, with over 31K claps and 449 comments, stood out like a gem among pebbles.

It reminded me of the time when thought-provoking pieces from Zat Rana captured my heart and mind.

Rana’s works delved into the complexities of human civilization, pondering over culture, morality, and life’s purpose. His writings were often contemplative and philosophical, offering moments of calm reflection. But Linda’s story took a different route. It was raw, emotional, and unapologetically authentic.

As I read her words, I could sense the anger and vulnerability in her state of mind. It hit me with an emotional force that I rarely experience in online articles.
