How a Stranger’s Compliment Pulled Me Out of a Dark Place
It’s easy to feel lost when the world around you seems to be caving in. Sometimes, the weight of life’s struggles can feel suffocating, and the simplest of things – like getting out of bed or facing the day – becomes a challenge.

Discovering My Passion for Painting at 40
It’s funny how life often throws unexpected gifts when you least expect them. For me, the gift came at the age of 40, a milestone that is supposed to be a marker of adulthood, responsibility, and perhaps the beginning of a midlife crisis.

I Lose My Phone, Don't Lose Yours
It was a regular Tuesday morning — the kind that doesn't hint at chaos. I grabbed my bag, locked the door, plugged in my earphones, and stepped out for my daily commute. The train station was crowded as usual, people lost in their own worlds, eyes glued to their phones. I was one of them. Scrolling, texting, checking emails — all in the span of a few minutes. I didn’t realize that those few minutes were enough to change my whole day… maybe more.

Introduction: Words Left Unspoken There are things we carry within us—words never said, apologies never made, and letters never sent.

The Weight of the Wind
Elias woke up to a sky the color of tin. Clouds swirled above his apartment like thoughts he couldn’t tame. The coffee machine blinked at him with passive aggression, and his inbox was already groaning with unread emails—subject lines like small threats: *"URGENT"*, *"Need by noon"*, *"Following up again…"*
