I’ve always been drawn to the shadows—the regions where light falters and the unknown whispers.

Join me as I explore the secrets of the human heart, the horrors that lurk in the unknown, and the stories that scream to be spoken.

The Forgotten Library
Tucked between two decrepit buildings that appeared to have not been touched in decades, the library was concealed at the end of a little cobblestone alley. Blackwood Library had faded on the sign over the door; the letters were hardly readable. I had not intended to stop; I was merely slicing across the alley to escape the rain. Still, something about the location drew me in.

The Hollow Man
The first time I saw him, I assumed it was a trick of the light. It was late—too late to be walking home alone—but I’d stayed after class to finish a project, and the bus had long ago stopped running. The streets were vacant, the kind of empty that makes you feel like you’re the last person on earth. The only sound was the crunch of my boots on the frost-covered sidewalk and the distant hum of a streetlight flickering on and off.

The Last Broadcast
At precisely 3:33 a.m., the radio burst to life. Ellie Harper jerked waking, her heart thumping in her chest. The room was dark; the only source of illumination was the weak radio dial glow. She had neglected turning it on. She had actually not used the ancient item in years. A huge wooden box with a cracked speaker and a dial that stuck if you turned it too quickly, it was a relic from her grandfather's time.

The Whispering Pines
On no map was Black Hollow, the settlement. It was not the kind of location you happened onto by mistake, and it most certainly was not the kind of place you stayed. For Jack Monroe, however, it was the only place he could go.

How Journaling Saved My Mental Health
The Breaking Point Tuesday morning, and when I woke up I felt as though the weight of the world rested on my shoulders. Work deadlines, overdue debts, and a developing loneliness all spun in my head. No matter how hard I tried, I felt as though I couldn seem to catch my breath; I felt as though I was drowning in my own mind. It dawned on me at that something had to change.

How Waking Up Early Changed My Life (Really)
I woke up not in a morning person manner. A few minutes before leaving for work, I used to wake up. I think the incorrect assumption is that someone is not a morning person. One can learn waking in the morning just as any other ability. As you will learn in the rest of the post, it merely calls for 66 days.

In what ways could social media harm mental health?
Introduction to the Concept of Social Media: Social Networks have become a two-faced weapon and while they allow the user to interact and express oneself, one’s mental health is prone to risks.

Journaling Will Transform Your Mental Health. This is HOW.
Life is hectic. Endless to-do lists, continuous notifications, and rushing thoughts can leave you feeling like you’re always “on.” Finding a moment of stillness feels virtually impossible.
