The Silent Thief: A Reflection on Time
The Silent Thief: A Reflection on Time Time is the one thing we all have, yet none of us truly own. It is constant, unyielding, and indifferent to our hopes and fears. We measure our lives in seconds, minutes, hours—milestones that mark our existence—but in reality, time flows beyond our control. And while we chase it, beg for it, or wish it away, it always slips through our fingers, a silent thief we cannot outrun.

When the Night Falls
When the Night Falls When the night falls, the world grows quiet, but the heart grows louder. The absence of sunlight strips away distractions, leaving nothing but the raw essence of who we are. Perhaps that’s why the night feels heavier than the day; it’s not the darkness we fear but the truths we can no longer ignore.

Vibe Alone Until You’re Valued
Vibe Alone Until You’re Valued There’s a peculiar kind of quiet that comes when you stop chasing validation from others. At first, it feels uncomfortable—like something is missing.

Finding Light in the Dark: Lessons on Fear, Solitude, and Growing Up
The Nighttime Shadows When I was little, darkness was more than just the absence of light—it was a living, breathing presence. I remember lying in bed, heart pounding, watching the shadows dance across my room. Every corner seemed to hold a hidden figure, an invisible pair of eyes, or a secret waiting to leap out. Even the quietest creak of the house would make my breath catch. So, I’d pull the blankets over my head, hoping that if I couldn’t see the darkness, maybe it couldn’t see me either.

“ISSUES”
Life has a funny way of putting us face-to-face with our own “issues.” From self-doubt to fear, relationship struggles to career setbacks, these challenges shape us, often in ways we don’t fully understand until we’re deep in reflection. Sometimes, when I face an issue, I just want it to disappear. But what if, instead of hiding from them, I started seeing these issues as part of a bigger, transformational journey?

The Last Flight of the Butterfly
The meadow was still as dawn’s first light crept over the flowers, illuminating each dew-laden petal like tiny jewels. Among them, nestled in the soft folds of a flower, a butterfly was beginning to stir. Her wings, once a vibrant blue, had faded with time. She’d felt the weight of the years; each flight a little slower, each flower a little harder to reach. But this morning was different. Today, she knew, would be her last journey.

Rising Above
Embracing the Storm High above the valleys, beyond the reach of most creatures, an eagle takes flight. This isn’t just a flight through clear skies—this is a journey of struggle, survival, and self-discovery. The eagle faces harsh winds that threaten to pull it down, fierce storms that block its view, and rain that seems unending. But rather than fighting against these forces, the eagle learns to move with them, letting the storm’s power help it climb higher, embracing each challenge as a part of its ascent.
