Her eyes tracked the progress of a bee as it flew around a flower before finally settling inside it. ‘Who are you waiting for?’ Leila looked up suddenly, startled by the sudden voice. An old man was staring down at her, his eyes crinkled by the sides and his face solemn. ‘Oh,’ Leila cleared her throat, sitting up. ‘I’m just waiting for my friend.’ The man nodded and sat down on the other bench. Leila twisted her fingers in her lap, and from the...]]></description><link>https://www.archive-magazine.com/post/waiting</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a20365b800e2e1c2bb4c6d6</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:13:41 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/nsplsh_79616e68774677796f6155~mv2_d_3264_4896_s_4_2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mistygleam</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Duty Over Self]]></title><description><![CDATA[Nevanka was bleeding. It was apparent in the way red dripped through his fingers, all the way to his elbows and the way his fingertips were stained pink. But what he found much more nerve-racking was that he didn’t feel the blood. As he curiously watched the red trickle through his bare arm he wondered what had caused him to bleed in this way. Surely, he should’ve felt a wound that resulted in this much bleeding. Surely, there should’ve been some flinching, stabbing pain or nerve rattling...]]></description><link>https://www.archive-magazine.com/post/duty-over-self</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a2036001eb41e7885ffad40</guid><pubDate>Wed, 03 Jun 2026 14:11:15 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/f345c1_f0ca2758557548359ddf3c87b0e6effe~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_804,h_862,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Mistygleam</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why Are We Afraid of Phone Calls?]]></title><description><![CDATA[We live in a time where technology allows us to reach anyone, anywhere in the world, in just a split second. But, ironically, when we see our phone ringing, instead of feeling excited to catch up with the person on the other end, we are often hit with a strong sense of anxiety. You know that feeling when you're staring at your screen, wishing the call would just disconnect on its own, and thinking to yourself, "Why can't my parents just text?"

I used to think that having the perfect routine, or lifestyle would mean I was truly living a romanticized life. This is because of how social media has trained our minds. We pick up the phone and we sit there and scroll. We look at everybody else’s seemingly perfect lives on Instagram. There, we see people who live the life that we want, and it’s so easy to picture ourselves there.

Tourists desert the street that slices through the cobblestone houses and the villagers finish disassembling their stalls and locking up their shops, leaving behind no traces of the handcrafted trinkets and vibrant wools.
