addiction

The realities of addition; the truth about living under, above and beyond the influence of drugs and alcohol.

The Last Broadcast
The Last Broadcast When the world ends, who keeps the music playing? The world ended quietly. Not with bombs or firestorms, not with cities collapsing into dust. It ended in stillness. A sickness swept through, a silence followed, and one by one, the voices that had filled the planet vanished.

The Stranger Who Writes My Dreams
The Stranger Who Writes My Dreams When your own journal stops belonging to you, how do you know what’s real anymore? I have kept journals since I was twelve. They were my safe place, my record of small victories and humiliations, my own quiet history. No one ever touched them. No one was supposed to.

Steps to Life
Amina was thirty-five, a schoolteacher in a quiet town near Multan. Her classroom was alive with energy—children laughing, chalk tapping against the board, and her gentle voice guiding them through lessons in math and language.

I had it all mapped out, confident that if I followed the rules, life would reward me.

Why Vulnerability is My Greatest Strength
By Nadeem Shah For most of my life, I wore armor. Not the kind made of steel and iron, but the invisible kind—woven from silence, guarded smiles, and perfectly rehearsed “I’m fine” responses. I convinced myself that strength meant never letting anyone see the cracks. If people didn’t see my pain, they couldn’t use it against me. If they didn’t know my fears, they couldn’t hurt me.

The Invisible Weight of Anxiety
By: Nadeem Shah Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes it’s not the shaking hands, the racing heart, or the heavy breathing you see in movies. Sometimes it’s a quiet, constant hum in the back of your mind—a relentless narrator that never shuts up.

The Quiet Power of Good Health
We don’t always notice health until it’s gone. It’s like the air we breathe—essential, invisible, and only truly appreciated when it’s missing. More than just the absence of illness, health is the quiet foundation that allows life to unfold with energy, joy, and meaning. It touches every part of our existence: how we move, think, feel, and connect with others.
