Teenage years
Why My Decor Looked Happy—But My Soul Still Felt Empty
Everywhere you scroll these days, homes appear to be technicolor therapy sessions. Neon lamps. Checkered rugs. Strawberry pink walls. Squiggle mirrors. Plastic furniture that looks like it came out of a childhood dream—or a retro video game. They call it dopamine decor—a design trend built around mood-boosting colors, nostalgic patterns, and sensory delight. And in a culture that's been swimming in stress for the better part of a decade, it makes sense. People want something cheerful. Something that doesn't feel cold or corporate or heavy. Something that feels… happy.

people who have nearly no close friends or family to lean on usually display these habits without realizing it
In today’s hyper-connected world, loneliness is a growing epidemic that often goes unnoticed. Not everyone who appears fine on the surface is truly okay inside. Some individuals have little to no emotional support—no close friends to confide in, no family members to rely on. And while they may function "normally" in society, they often display subtle, unconscious habits that point to a deeper lack of connection and support. These behaviors are not always easy to spot—even the people exhibiting them may be unaware.

10 body language signs of someone who secretly admires you
Have you ever sensed that someone may secretly admire you — even though they’ve never said it out loud? The truth is, when words fail, body language speaks. In fact, over 70% of human communication is nonverbal.

Pardon my lack of scientific terminology.

Get to Know Trichomoniasis, the Most Common Non-Viral Sexually Transmitted Infection
It was late one night in the lab when a physician from the emergency room came over. She had taken a couple of samples from a patient and wanted to read her own slides. We call it a wet mount when you read slides right after they’re collected. But this particular physician forgot one crucial step.

I am as chalant as it gets
Oh, act like you don't care! Don't show emotions or else you will be deemed uncool, don't smile too loud, be silent about your victories, don't be so passionate about the things you love, don't text first, don't reach out first, play hard to get- oh, and the list goes on. The new trend of being the mysterious black cat is the propaganda I am not falling for, don't get me wrong, it is not something I am against or hold my grudge against. I truly believe if you are authentically like that, there is nothing wrong with being that way, but for all the ones who actually are yappers and the ones who fill the room with love and light, this trend just invalidates their existence.

Unsent Echoes
Some moments are quiet reflections in time that stretch like shadows, timeless yet enigmatic. It’s quite strange how often I’ve thought of her, not with sharp, aching, loud bursts as would come with tragedy, but interspersed with calm murmurs of remembrance that comfortingly sneak in during the in-between hours: the intervals between meetings, the cough of silence that follows delight, and the stillness right before slumber.
