Why do people Lie
Why Do People Lie? A Real Talk About the Truth Behind Dishonesty Let’s be honest — we all lie. Maybe not in huge, dramatic ways, but in little, everyday moments. Like when you say “I’m fine” even though you're not. Or when you tell your friend their new haircut looks great, even though you're not totally convinced.

It was always about the littlest things
You know those moments that light you up like a forestfire, the circumstances, people, entities, stories, words or notions that trigger something in you. That makes you act differently, to approach your life differently, to stride a different walk or embrace a new mindset. These are often quite moments that we think are insignificant, but are in reality monumental transgressions of metamorphosis, where everything changes, but also nothing changes.

The Day I Stopped Chasing “Enough”
Most of my adult years, I believed being "enough" was something you attained. Enough was about being on at all times. Being agreeable at all times. Constantly reaching for the next milestone, the next promotion, the next unread email in my inbox. I boasted about my fatigue as a badge of honor, as if running on empty indicated that I was doing something right. Society calls it hustle. I called it survival.

From Cheap Dopamine to Deep Focus: How to Rewire Your Brain for Real Happiness and Mental Strength

The Hidden Pressure of Social Media: Why Young Minds Feel Left Behind
In today’s fast-paced digital world, it’s nearly impossible to find a teenager or young adult who isn’t actively scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, or YouTube. Social media has become more than just a place to connect—it’s a lifestyle, a marketplace, a platform for creativity, and, unfortunately, a source of mental distress for many. While these platforms can be empowering, there is a darker side that many young minds are silently struggling with: the pressure to succeed too early in life.

The Morning I Missed the Bus—and Found My Way Instead
The Morning I Missed the Bus—and Found My Way Instead I was 17, late for school, and flying down the block in the middle of winter with half-frozen hair and a burnt piece of toast in my mouth. Classy. The yellow school bus came around the corner just as I was reaching the stop. I waved frantically, breath clouding in the air, but the driver didn't see. Perhaps he did, and just decided it was too late.

The Scam That Taught Me More Than a Classroom Ever Did
I was in 12th grade when I first decided to order something online. Back then, online shopping wasn’t common in my family. In fact, it was strongly discouraged. My parents believed it was risky, and every time I mentioned it, they’d look concerned. They thought everything online was a scam waiting to happen.

I tried to be heartless, and here is what happened. Top Story - April 2025.
You know when the shit hits the celing and life is an absolute mess everywhere, yeah that is what I am talking about. My existence has had 22 years on this gorgeous - gorgeous mortal realm and in the recency of my being, my life has sucked a lot. I have had my share of darkness since forever, but of late, my desperation for light has been at its zenith. I have wanted my life to look like the glorious lives of Rory gilmore, an academic scholar, while being the perfect 4.0, a beautiful boyfriend( maybe not necessary), a great deal of money, a stellar institute I go to, a high qualified job in writing or journalism, and parents being super proud of me.

Breaking the Cycle
Breaking the Cycle: How to Heal and End Generational Curses Generational curses aren't just the stuff of superstition. In today's world, they’re real, tangible patterns—cycles of pain, trauma, and dysfunction passed down from one generation to the next. These “curses” often show up as emotional neglect, addiction, abuse, poor communication, financial instability, or toxic belief systems. And while we may not be responsible for the trauma that shaped our families, we *are* responsible for what we do with it.

Generational Curses
The Hidden Cost: What Happens to Children When Parents Don’t Break Generational Curses In every family, there are patterns—unspoken rules, emotional wounds, survival tactics, and inherited beliefs that get passed down like heirlooms. These are often what people today refer to as *generational curses*. Unlike mystical superstitions, these "curses" are deeply psychological, emotional, and behavioral patterns rooted in trauma, unhealed wounds, or outdated worldviews. And when parents choose not to confront or heal them, the impact on their children can be profound, lasting well into adulthood—and sometimes, an entire lifetime.
