Secrets
The Empty Chair by the Window
The Empty Chair by the Window There was always one chair in my grandmother’s living room that no one sat in. It wasn’t particularly special at first glance—just a faded velvet armchair placed neatly beside the window. But everyone instinctively avoided it. Guests never asked why. Family never discussed it. It simply stood there, quiet and untouched, like a bookmark left in a story no one dared reopen.

I Gave Myself This One Rule—And Everything Got Better
For a while, I was cruising through life. Not because it was easy, but because I wasn’t driving. The days just blurred. Wake up, work, handle life, repeat. I hated that feeling. It was like watching someone else live my life from the passenger seat.

The Day I Felt Guilty
Life is full of ups and downs—friendships, relationships, mistakes. And through all of it, I had never truly felt guilt in its deepest form. Like most people, I apologized when I was wrong, and moved on. Some mistakes fade with time, others become lessons. But then, there are mistakes that don’t leave you—they stay with you, remind you, shape you.

Forgiveness is not Forgetting the Pain
The scent of brine and ozone filled Elara’s lungs, a familiar comfort that had been hers since childhood. She stood on the cliff edge, the North Sea churning below, its endless roar a constant reminder of both peace and turbulence. It had been twenty years since the accident, twenty years since the waves had stolen her brother, Liam, and left her with a scar that no passage of time, no amount of forgiveness, could truly erase.

Your Body, Your Temple: The Science of Self-Care give
In a world that constantly demands our attention and energy, it’s easy to overlook the very vessel that carries us through life—our body. We push through sleepless nights, skip meals, and drown stress in screens and caffeine. But the truth is simple and powerful: our bodies are temples, and how we care for them shapes not just our physical health, but our mental and emotional well-being. Self-care isn't just a trendy concept; it's rooted in biology, psychology, and centuries of wisdom. Understanding the science behind self-care can empower us to make better choices and build a sustainable lifestyle of wellness.

Echoes After the Storm: What I Learned in the Silence
We weren’t yelling anymore, but the silence was louder than any argument we’d ever had. I sat on the edge of our bed, staring at the floor like it might offer an answer. Across the room, Sarah leaned against the wall, arms folded, eyes red, but dry now. The words were still fresh in the air, hanging like dust that hadn’t settled.

moon-coloured glasses
People like to talk about rose-coloured glasses, as if that’s the only kind of distortion that matters. As if optimism is the most dangerous drug. The sweet little delusion, the blur of affection that makes everything look kinder. You love, so you overlook. You believe, so you don’t question. Red flags turn pastel. You’re naive, and you’re hopeful.
