Stream of Consciousness
I Loved Them, But I Let Them Go... Here's why.
Love isn’t always soft. Sometimes, it arrives like a fire, hot, blinding, and too wild to hold for long. That’s the kind of love I had with her. The kind that made my chest ache in the best and worst ways. The kind that whispered, “This can’t last,” even while it bloomed.

Marshmallow Eggs
For most of those who live in the Western Hemisphere, it's that time of year again. If you're a practicing Christian, it isn't hard to imagine what your morning today must have looked like: rising from bed early, donning the best of your Sunday best, and heading off to church with a song on your lips, praising the living Christ. For many of us who grew up in a Christian household, Easter isn't just an important tradition we've kept from our childhoods. At least, not to me.

I Found a Breakup Letter in My Coat Pocket — and It Was Addressed to Me
It had been almost a year since we ended things. No big fight. No dramatic walkout. Just silence. A slow fade-out. Like a movie you keep watching, even when the credits are already rolling.

I Ghosted My Dream Job — Here’s Why
It was supposed to be the one. The job I’d been working toward for years — the kind of position I used to daydream about when I was buried in spreadsheets at 10 p.m. or silently crying in a bathroom stall during lunch breaks. It had the title, the pay, the remote flexibility, even the trendy company culture I thought would finally make work feel like something other than survival.

"Echoes of the Mind"
The room was quiet, save for the gentle ticking of a clock mounted above the doorway. Soft light spilled through a narrow window, cutting across the white linoleum floor in long, golden streaks. Dr. Elara Venn sat in a sleek gray chair, her fingers curled around a pen that had long since stopped writing. Her eyes were focused on the man seated across from her, his expression vacant, as if he were staring through her and into something far more distant.

The Dangerous Lover
(Dark Romance - Part 7) "This is what true love really is, Neela. This is what a sacred relationship looks like. The fact that you still feel this way proves that you were truly Shraban's wife. And from what I’ve seen, that boy loves you madly," said Neela’s mother.

Journey Becomeing You
Becoming the Best Version of Yourself: The Journey of Becoming You It all began on a rainy Tuesday. Jason sat in his car outside the office, engine off, windshield wipers squeaking across glass that didn’t need wiping anymore. He stared at the steering wheel like it held answers. His fingers gripped it loosely, not out of stress, but confusion. Exhaustion. A hollow kind of questioning.
