You Should Know
Life unfolds in stages, each critical phase carries its unique lessons, own trials, and inevitable transformations. At every point in time, we are modeled and shaped by experiences, some may be joyful, others painful, but all necessary. The weight of our past, the hurts of our mistakes, and the loud echoes of unresolved fears so often keep us aligned to worries that should have long been resolved. But there are things we should know by now, things that, once realized, free us to move forward in peace.

The Path
The literal course: What do we mean when we say the path of a river? – This could be referred to as the natural course a river takes, right? Which also adapts to the topography of the land and could flow in any the direction. Similarly, what could mean the path to a temple? This could only literally mean a course or passageway that would lead to any holy place of prayer or worship. Believers, worshippers, or pilgrims who travel to sacred sites, most times follow specific paths or courses.

My Pen Pal
It all began with an advert in a newspaper. I was going through its pages when my eyes came upon the section called "Looking for a Pen Pal?" I suddenly became engrossed in it and started scanning through all the names and addresses listed under so many different countries. One specific one stood out—a girl named Emily from Valmera. There was something about the way she introduced herself. This caught my attention. She mentioned and emphasized her love for reading, her curiosity about the continent I live on, and a wish to make friends all across the globe. Without any further hesitation, I copied down her address and then began to inscribe my first letter.

Rose of Sharon
In a land where the sun kissed the earth with golden light and the vineyards stretched like emerald seas, two souls found each other amidst the whispers of the wind. She was Zaria, a maiden of deep, sun-warmed beauty, her skin like the tents of Kedar, her hair cascading in dark rivers over her shoulders. He was Elias, a prince hidden from the world, a man whose eyes held the fire of longing and the depth of the ocean.

The Silent Architect
Success is not a matter of chance but of choice. It is the product of deliberate self-development—an intentional process of refining one’s character, skills, and mindset. Among the countless stories of self-transformation, one stands out—not because of privilege or external advantage, but because of the sheer determination to rise beyond circumstances.

Why So Much Uncertainty?
Before the pot is shaped, the clay is just earth—formless, waiting, holding everything but being nothing. That is the first uncertainty. No direction, no boundary, only the weight of what could be. Then the hands press in, give it walls, a mouth, a base. Now it has structure, but in that structure, something is lost—the freedom to be anything. This is the second uncertainty. The pot knows its shape but not what it will hold. Water? Fire? Emptiness?

Why I Don’t Breathe Through My Nose
Breathing through the nose is the norm. It is the natural, expected way to take in air, filtering and regulating the flow before it reaches the lungs. However, have you ever considered the pressure it places on the nose, whether we realize it or not? This simple act, seemingly effortless, actually demands a continuous and structured process that the body must adhere to. What if we changed the approach? What if we breathed through the mouth instead? Would that relieve some of the pressure? And more importantly, how does this relate to other aspects of life where we unknowingly impose unnecessary strain upon ourselves?

Who Am I?
The "I" Project The world is filled with diversity, yet at the core of all existence is a singular reference point—"I." The notion of "I" is not limited to humans but extends to everything that perceives, exists, or assumes an identity. It is the fundamental marker of individual consciousness, the foundation upon which self-awareness, interaction, and existence are built.

It is Boring
The Uneasiness of Boredom Boredom, in one of its deeper senses, is not merely the absence of activity or stimulation but an uneasiness—a restlessness that arises when there is an absence of meaningful engagement. This kind of boredom often follows prolonged stillness, a state of potential energy waiting for release. It is the kind of boredom that emerges when everything that could be known, felt, or existed in a given state has been exhausted, leaving a void that demands to be filled.

Exploring Ethical Sacrifice
The word "good" is one of the most frequently used terms in our everyday language. We apply it to a vast array of things—from food and people to experiences, actions, and choices. In its most basic sense, it seems clear: good is simply a label we assign to what we find favorable, pleasant, or beneficial. Yet, behind this everyday usage lies a deeper, more complex question: What truly makes something "good"? Is it the qualities something possesses, the impact it has, or the context in which it exists?
