The Night He Finally Chose Me. Content Warning.
We always knew there was something about us that couldn’t be ignored. Even when we both had other people, it didn’t matter — we couldn’t stay away. We were obsessed with each other, completely hooked. I’d sneak over every night, even when I moved two hours away just to make people think we weren’t seeing each other anymore. But he’d still drive back and forth every night and morning, even while working all day, just to be with me.

Who Are You
I am three things. And maybe more. I teach. There’s nothing like the moment a student’s eyes light up — confusion giving way to understanding, that spark that tells you something has clicked. Mathematics isn’t impossible. It’s a key, and I just help open the door. I’ve seen students sit quietly, heads bent, unsure if they’ll ever get it. And then, suddenly, they do. Their smile says more than words ever could. That’s why I teach — because guiding someone to see what they couldn’t before is like handing them a small piece of light. Teaching gives me purpose. It humbles me. It reminds me that patience builds confidence and that learning, no matter how small, is always a victory worth celebrating.

When Silence Speaks Louder: Harry and Meghan’s Uncomfortable Reality Check at the Mental Health Festival
There was a time when a single wave from Prince Harry could send crowds into a frenzy. Flashbulbs, cheers, and camera shutters followed him like a royal shadow. But at the World Mental Health Festival, that familiar roar of adoration was replaced with something far more haunting — silence.

When Trust Turns Venom
There’s something sacred about loyalty. It’s one of those quiet values that makes human connection feel safe. Whether it comes from family, friends, or partners, loyalty has a warmth that can’t be bought or faked. It’s the invisible thread that holds relationships together — the reason we trust, relax, and believe.

The Café That Waited for Her. AI-Generated.
Every morning at exactly 8:05, Adrian unlocked the doors of Café del Mare, a small seaside coffee shop in Lisbon that smelled like cinnamon and saltwater. He wasn’t the kind of man people remembered — quiet, polite, always writing in a notebook between customers.

Smile Cartels: The Black Market of Engineered Joy
The Currency of Manufactured Bliss In the neon-soaked streets of Seoul's Gangnam district, happiness has become the most valuable commodity on the black market. But this isn't the organic joy that emerges from human connection or personal achievement—this is engineered euphoria, mass-produced and distributed through an intricate network that operates in the shadows of our hyper-connected world.

Secret Letter . Content Warning.
Humans are monsters. I remember my first scary movie being a Stephen King-esc one where a little girl is shot and carried into a plane while the monsters below eat the planet up whole. It had been several years since my brain surgery and in a much personal way, several months since my last Seer-ing experience I had with Lucifer.

This is What Deaf/HOH looks like
"You don’t look deaf”. I always found that statement so fascinating - especially the disbelief on their face. What does a deaf person look like? It’s usually followed by some outlandish stereotype and the person feels ashamed for even saying this statement out loud in the first place. Nevertheless, it got me thinking: what does a deaf person actually look like? Scrolling through my timeline I see deaf talent and beauty everywhere. None of us look the same.
