The Cost of Being “The Strong One”
By Nadeem Shah “You’re so strong.” “You’ve got this.” “I don’t know how you do it all.” At first, those words feel like praise. Like you're doing something right. You’re dependable. Unshakeable. The go-to person when things fall apart. You become the listener, the fixer, the shoulder everyone cries on.

I Wish To Be
used to think that love was about something I earned. I thought it was about collecting reason by reason. It feels like I will get a lot of love as a prize for having good behavior. It really seems like a reward for being the shiniest version of myself.

She Told Me I Was Her Best Friend — Then Tried to Replace Me Behind My Back. AI-Generated.
I used to think me and her were locked in. Like, for real. We’d talk for hours — the kind of convos where time doesn’t even exist. We had dumb inside jokes that made no sense to anyone else. We’d trauma dump on each other at 2 a.m., vent about life, family, the stuff nobody else really cared enough to ask about. She told me I was her “safe space,” and honestly, I believed her. Felt like I finally found someone who got me. Someone who saw me — not just some random dude in the background.

The Night I Had a Conversation With My Shadow
I wasn’t planning to stay up that late. I had turned off the lights and meant to go to bed, but sleep felt distant, like it was hiding behind a curtain I couldn’t pull back. So I walked over to the window, let the cool moonlight spill onto my floor, and stood in the quiet.

Walk With Me in the Garden
The garden wasn’t large, but it felt like another world. Tucked behind her grandmother’s old stone house, it was a patchwork of roses, jasmine, tulips, and winding vines that seemed to whisper with the wind. As a child, Amara believed it had magic. As an adult, she realized it still did — just a quieter kind.

I Cut My Finger With a Chainsaw
They say curiosity kills the cat, but in my case, curiosity nearly cost me a finger. On a crisp Saturday morning, I found myself staring at a shiny new chainsaw that wasn’t even mine. My neighbor had left it in my garage after a storm took down part of his fence. I'd never used one before, but the temptation was too strong. I wish I could say it ended with a clean job and a pat on the back. Instead, it ended with real blood, a hospital visit, and an unforgettable lesson I carry to this day.
