The Day Everything Changed
I missed the last bus on purpose. Not because I wanted to be stranded, but because I couldn’t face going home. That day had been one long unraveling—work mistakes, a call from my sister about our mother’s health, the kind of exhaustion that lives in your bones.

The Night I Stopped Waiting for Wings
I was fifteen the first time I saw the wings. It was 2009.

Steampunk vs. Cyberpunk: Aesthetic vs. Ideology
At a glance, steampunk and cyberpunk appear to be two visually striking genres separated only by time.

Pirate Fashion Rules at Sea vs. On Land: What History Really Tells Us
Pirate fashion wasn’t about looking dangerous for drama — it was about survival, mobility, and reputation. What pirates wore while sailing the open seas looked very different from how they dressed once they stepped onto land. And no, it wasn’t random chaos. There were unwritten rules shaped by weather, labor, hierarchy, and social power.
