Bad habits
The Obsidian Heart and the Sunstone Soul
The city of Veridian was a jewel box of chrome and glass, a testament to humanity’s relentless climb towards the heavens. But beneath the shimmering towers, in the labyrinthine underbelly known as the Undercroft, life was a brutal, monochrome struggle. Here, in the perpetual twilight, lived Silas, a man whose existence was as grey and unforgiving as the reinforced concrete walls that enclosed him.

From Rock Bottom to Rebuilding: How I Found My Way After Losing Everything
The Time When Everything Fell Apart There was a point where everything I was familiar with turned right-side-up. It was not one incident. It was a series of poor choices, things, and mishaps that all built on one another, so I landed myself bottom-most.

What I Learned from Being Ghosted by My Best Friend
We never had a fight. That’s what still haunts me the most. No yelling. No tears. No dramatic confrontation. Just a quiet drifting, so slow and subtle I didn’t realize it was happening until it was over.

The Bus Stop Stranger
I was late—again. The rain was relentless, drumming against my umbrella like it was trying to shake me out of my fog.

Every country gets the leaders it deserves
In the same way we are all a product of our environment, leaders are a direct reflection of the society that produces them. Even though this title might seem harsh, it is painfully true.

Silk Paper and Side Eyes
There’s something comforting about writing by hand. The pen doesn’t rush me. It doesn’t interrupt or expect a performance. It lets me arrive as I am—unfinished, unpolished, uncertain. I’ve been journaling for years, mostly in solitude, mostly without any clear purpose except to stay connected to myself. But recently, I turned a few entries into something I could share online.
