The Last Scroll: How One TikTok Changed My Life
I was one scroll away from deleting TikTok forever. It was a rainy Thursday. My phone battery was at 2%, and honestly, so was I. My job at the call center had just let me go—downsizing, they said. I hadn't told my parents yet. I was tired of hearing “it’ll get better” when every day felt like walking deeper into fog. I had dreams once—to be a writer, to tell stories, to create—but dreams don’t pay bills. At least, that’s what life had taught me.

What Lurks Beneath
When I was seven, I believed in monsters. Not the kind that wear fangs and capes or lurch in forests with chainsaws. Mine lived under my bed. And unlike the storybooks, mine didn’t go away when the lights came on.

The Message I Never Sent
I wrote the message three times. Each version was a little different—some angrier, some softer, some just full of dots and unfinished thoughts. But I never sent it.

The Night I Apologized to a Stranger Who Was Me
"The floor is your friend," the therapist had once said, and I laughed in her office like I understood. But two years later, at 2:36 a.m., knees pressed into cracked hotel tile, I finally got it.

The Last Letter in the Bottle
The glass bottle glinted under the fading sun, half-buried in the damp sand of Crescent Beach. Its green curves caught the light like a winking eye, a secret washed ashore by the restless tide. I’d come here every summer since I was six, chasing waves and dreams with my sister, Lila. She’d sprint ahead, her laughter brighter than the gulls’ cries, her bare feet kicking up foam as she dared me to find treasures in the sea’s offerings. Shells, driftwood, once even a shark’s tooth—she called them gifts from the ocean. But Lila was gone now, stolen by a riptide last July, the kind that snatches breath and futures in seconds. I was sixteen, and the beach felt like a graveyard, each wave a reminder of her absence.

The Letter I Found in My Mother’s Drawer Changed My Life Forever
I wasn’t looking for secrets—I just needed a pen. But what I found made my knees buckle. I was 27, visiting my childhood home for the first time in months. My mother had always kept her room spotless, her drawers full of carefully folded memories—birthday cards, old school pictures, and sometimes, forgotten shopping lists. I opened the top drawer of her dresser to grab a pen, and instead, I found an envelope addressed to me. In her handwriting.

🕯️ The Day I Met the Stranger Inside Me
It didn’t happen in a storm. There was no explosion, no collapse. Just silence. A subtle, almost invisible unraveling. One quiet moment in which I realized: I had become a stranger to myself.

🌿 The Day I Lost and Found Myself
They say every person walks through fire at least once in their life. For some, it comes through heartbreak. For others, through loss, betrayal, or failure. For me, it was the cold, sharp silence of realizing that everything I believed in—everything I was building—had slipped out of my hands.
