Bio
I’ve always had a strong interest in psychology. I’m fascinated by how the mind works, why we feel the way we do, and how our past shapes us. I enjoy reading about human behavior, emotional health, and personal growth.

The Green Light
The Green Shift: A Journey to Healing, Energy, and Rediscovery Through Food When Maya first stepped into her thirties, she imagined it would feel like leveling up—confident, successful, energetic.

Triggers
Understanding Triggers in People’s Lives: What They Are, Why They Happen, and How to Cope Life is full of experiences—some uplifting, others painful. Among these experiences, certain moments leave an emotional imprint so deep that even years later, they can be reawakened by something seemingly small: a sound, a smell, a phrase, a place, or even a passing thought. These reactions are commonly referred to as **triggers**. While often associated with trauma, triggers can stem from a wide range of emotional experiences. Understanding what triggers are, where they come from, and how to manage them is essential for mental well-being and personal growth.

The Green-Eyed Trap
“The Green-Eyed Trap: How Envy Quietly Destroys from Within” Envy is a universal emotion—one that quietly lingers in the human psyche, often disguised and rarely acknowledged. It sneaks in during moments of comparison and self-doubt, whispering that someone else’s success is a reflection of our failure.

The Things We Bow To
"The Things We Bow To" — A Story About Idolatry Long ago, in a sun-scorched land, temples towered over the hills like monuments to forgotten truths. People came from all directions—merchants, mothers, shepherds, soldiers—each bringing something to offer. They laid their sacrifices before carved statues with eyes that never blinked and mouths that never spoke. Some were made of gold, others of wood or stone, each one shaped to represent power, beauty, love, or strength.

Parkinson and Stem Cells
Stem Cells and the Future of Parkinson’s Treatment: Two Studies Point to a Breakthrough For millions of people living with Parkinson’s disease, recent developments in stem cell research have sparked a new wave of hope. In a pair of groundbreaking studies, scientists reported that stem cell transplants into the brains of Parkinson’s patients not only survived but also produced dopamine—the chemical most affected by the disease.

Giveing Me Back to Me
Giving Me Back to Me I don’t know the exact moment I lost myself. There wasn’t some grand betrayal, no loud bang or crashing fall. It happened quietly. Softly. Like sand slipping through fingers—you don’t realize it’s gone until your hands are empty.

Sobriety Changed Me
Day I Chose Clarity: A Sobriety Story It was a rainy Thursday afternoon, the kind of gray, heavy day that seemed to mirror everything I was feeling inside. I remember standing at my bathroom sink, staring into the mirror like I was trying to recognize the person looking back at me. My face was puffy. My eyes—bloodshot and tired—held a kind of sadness that wasn’t just from lack of sleep or too many drinks. It was deeper. Hollow.
