💌 When Love Didn’t Speak, It Still Stayed
💌 When Love Didn’t Speak, It Still Stayed A Deep, Emotional, Human-Style Relationship Story (1200+ words) Zoya used to believe that strong relationships were built on long calls, endless conversations, and emotional fireworks. The kind of love that looked alive, loud, exciting. The kind of love you see in movies—intense, passionate, overflowing with words.

Photoshopped Reality
Photoshopped Reality People say reality is what you make it, but I’m convinced reality is what you edit it into—preferably with good lighting and a filter called “Heaven’s Glow.” At least, that’s how my cousin Marlene sees the world. To her, nothing is real unless it has been cropped, retouched, recolored, sharpened, and given at least three sparkles.

MY EYES UP
**My Eyes Up** I used to walk with my eyes down. It wasn’t that I feared the world—at least, that’s what I told myself. It was more that the cracks in the pavement felt predictable. Safe. They didn’t ask anything of me. They didn’t require the vulnerability that comes with meeting another person’s gaze.

UNDER THE BAOBAB TREE
**Under the Baobab Tree** The baobab tree stood alone at the edge of the village—wide-bellied, ancient, and dignified, as though it had been planted by the first breath of the world. Children claimed its roots were alive, shifting at night like the coils of a sleeping giant. Elders insisted its trunk held memories the way a clay pot held water: quietly, patiently, without complaint.

Necessary Truth
The Foundation Of All Thinking Every human act of reason begins with an assumption. The assumption is that logic exists. When we say something is true or false, when we draw conclusions or recognize contradictions, we rely on fixed laws of thought that we did not invent. These laws are universal, consistent, and independent of personal opinion.

When Logic Becomes A Weapon
The Rise Of Performative Reason We live in an age where people worship logic but rarely use it with integrity. Reason has become a stage performance rather than a search for truth. Arguments that once served to clarify reality now serve to elevate ego. Debate has become entertainment. Outrage has replaced understanding.

Stop Letting Anger Ruin Your Life
It’s easy to get angry. Anyone can do that. But choosing kindness—especially when your heart is boiling with frustration—takes real strength. Sometimes, life teaches us its biggest lessons in the smallest, simplest moments.

The Rival I Never Saw Coming
Your rival isn’t always across the line... Sometimes he’s standing right next to you, waiting for your slip. We don’t like to admit this. We want to believe the people beside us; our colleagues, our friends, our teammates—want the best for us. We want to think that competition only comes from outside, not from within. We want to believe envy only comes from strangers.

Caribbean Winter Mirages🎄
Rituals are not always adorned in pretty gift wrapped bundles and placed surreptitiously under a well decorated tree. Those images are but mirages to those who exist far away from wonderous snow laden trees and icy visions of rolling hills.
