Why Your Work Is Always Unnoticed
In today's world of work, one thing is clear. The tasks that get noticed are the ones tied to a payment. It's not that the "other" work isn't important but it's just that, in the hustle and bustle of day-to-day life, people often only recognize the work that brings in money.

Are We Still Dreaming or Just Consuming?
There was a time when people stared at the stars and imagined more. More than just survival, more than work, more than fitting in. They dreamed—wildly, recklessly, and beautifully. But in today’s hyper-digital, always-on society, a quiet question is rising: Are we still dreaming, or are we just consuming?

Xanax Detox: More Than Just Irritability . Top Story - July 2025.
I was prescribed Xanax for severe Generalized Anxiety Disorder. It helped me function at first. But early on—and I mean right away—my doctor prescribed me 8 mg of extended release Xanax per day. That’s not a dosage I slowly worked up to. That was the starting point.

You Don’t Need More Motivation (You Need Less Grain)
You don't always feel tired because the task is hard. Sometimes, what you're feeling is the drag building under the surface, the kind that makes your body heavy, your thoughts fuzzy, and your motivation feel like it's walking through molasses.

The Soul Doesn’t Need a Map.
“I can’t change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination.” - Jimmy Dean Good Morning! A pretty cold and grey one at that. As I half-expected, I lay awake at 4am this morning, contemplating life… my life, and all the little bits in between. Though there are many days when those early morning hours catch up with me later, I actually really enjoy that time. It feels a bit like a weekend, because I get to stay in bed completely guilt-free (I mean, who gets up at that hour? Oh wait… ME! Yesterday, lol). But no, seriously… that’s what it feels like.

The Silence Between Us
By Nadeem Shah It had been 472 days since we last spoke. Not that I was counting—at least, not anymore. In the beginning, I counted everything. The days since the argument.

The Loneliness Vending Machine: How We Started Paying for Connection. AI-Generated.
I. A Machine for Love Last month, I rented a friend. Not metaphorically. I paid $29.99 for a one-hour video call with someone who promised to listen to me, validate me, and laugh at my jokes. The app was clean, the interface sleek, and the calendar surprisingly full. My session started with a smiling young woman named Emma—probably not her real name—who said, “So, how was your day?” with the kind of warmth you’d expect from someone you’ve known since high school. Except we hadn’t.

2025 Is the Year to Take Risks
We’ve all heard it a million times: “Play it safe. Don’t take risks.” But what if this year, 2025, you decide to challenge that advice? The reality is that sticking to what feels comfortable might be the biggest obstacle standing between you and the life you want.

The Psychology of Ghosting: Why People Disappear Without Explanation. AI-Generated.
You’re texting someone, everything seems to be going well, and then—suddenly—nothing. No reply. No explanation. Just silence. You double-check your messages, wonder if you said something wrong, and slowly spiral into a loop of confusion and self-doubt. This experience has a name: ghosting. It’s when someone abruptly cuts off all communication without warning, and it’s become increasingly common in the digital age. But why do people ghost? What’s happening inside their minds when they decide to vanish? And why does it hurt so much?
