Struggling to Move On: Finding Peace in Letting Go Moving on is one of the hardest things we humans face. Whether it’s the end of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, a missed opportunity, or even leaving behind a chapter of life that once defined us, letting go feels like tearing away a piece of our own heart.

In Nepal and Bangladesh, young people are taking to the streets with a mixture of anger, hope, and defiance demanding a future that feels increasingly out of reach. “We Want a Voice, Not Silence” Nepal’s Digital Resistance In Kathmandu’s bustling squares, young protesters chant against corruption and raise banners painted with urgent slogans.
