Official Resignation from Being the Strong One
To Whom It May Concern, Please accept this as my official resignation. I am leaving my long-held, unpaid, emotionally draining role as The Strong One effective immediately. As you know, I am the one who holds it together. The person who always says yes. The person who continuously keeps things playful and enjoyable for everyone else and fills in awkward silences during family dinners with lighthearted jokes and a silly story. The person who says, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine," even though I'm three emotional collapses away from making the local news.

Can a Broken Heart Be Fatal?
Heartbreak is a universal human experience, often described as a crushing emotional pain that feels almost physical. Whether it’s the end of a romantic relationship, the loss of a loved one, or a profound betrayal, the term "heartbreak" captures the visceral agony of emotional loss. But can heartbreak go beyond metaphor and actually threaten our lives? Can we, in fact, die from a broken heart? The answer lies at the intersection of emotion, physiology, and medical science, and it’s more complex than you might think.

What Happens When Intimacy is Absent in Relationships
Men and women are made for each other to provide peace, contentment, emotional safety, resilience, and satisfaction. This concept is widespread in the teachings of every religion, whether Christian, Muslim, Hindu, or others.

No One Knew I Was Drowning… Then a Message Came
It’s funny how the most important moments in life often come wrapped in the smallest, simplest things. It was a morning like any other gray skies, the kind of rain that never really stops. I woke up with the familiar, crushing weight on my chest. Anxiety. Panic. The quiet feeling of being lost, but not knowing where to turn. It wasn’t the first time. But that day, it felt different. Like I couldn’t pretend anymore.

The Breakup That Broke More Than Just My Heart
Introduction: When Love Leaves A Scar Breakups suck. But this one? This one didn’t just crack my heart—it bulldozed through my sense of self, knocked down my confidence, and left my soul scrambling for breath. Ever been so gutted by a goodbye that you didn’t recognize the person staring back in the mirror? Yeah, that was me. And maybe it’s you too. Let me walk you through the wreckage... and the rebuild.

Love at first sight
I was running late. The rain poured down in sheets, my umbrella buckling under the wind's tantrum. I cursed the weather, my job, and the fact that I had missed the last bus. As I stood soaked at the corner of Maple and 9th, I didn’t expect anyone to notice me—let alone stop.

Just Keep Talking .... Dont Keep It Hidden. Top Story - May 2025.
Introduction This just popped up in my Seven Days In Top Twenty, and I think it contains some interesting concepts, but I still won't reveal the secret. I suppose this is part confessional, but ten years ago I was going to see various friends and tomorrow I am going to see friends and family, including Harry whom I have not seen since the nineteen seventies.

My Father Kicked Me Out, But I Got the Last Laugh
Growing up, my father was never the kind of man to show much love. He was strict, cold, and believed in “tough love.” I tried my best to please him, but nothing I did was ever good enough. If I got a B in school, he asked why I didn’t get an A. If I cleaned the kitchen, he said I missed a spot. I spent most of my life walking on eggshells around him.

The Most Traumatizing Thing That Happened to Me So Far
Life is full of surprises. Some are good, like meeting a new friend or winning a prize. Others are not so good. Some can stay with you for a long time, like a shadow that follows you everywhere.
