The Mirror of Psyche
In a forgotten town, inside an ancient mansion, Sophie sat before an old, dust-covered mirror. She couldn't shake the feeling that something about the mirror was watching her, studying her every move. She wasn’t alone, though. David had come with her, though he seemed distant, preoccupied by the strange atmosphere of the mansion.

It's Time For You To Accept The Money You Want
No matter what you're doing, you always have a choice: to bring love and a positive attitude into every situation or to let negativity drag you down. If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation, look within and ask, "What lesson can I learn from this?" Every experience, good or bad, has something valuable to teach you.

Things I learnt from my recent setbacks
Things I learnt from my recent setbacks How I wish life were filled with glory and love, tales of how we succeed in every aspect of our life, emerging victorious in battles filled with animosity and sadness. Every mortal being experiences seasons of rise and fall, of light and dark, of pain and purpose, and defeat and victory.

How to Save a Life. Runner-up in Small Kindness Challenge. Content Warning.
I love you, KP. I'm sorry I'm shit. I didn't expect a reply–at least, not right away. It was nearly four in the morning on a Sunday. I figured I'd have two or three hours before anyone found a thing: the empty pill bottles, the texts, the toxic seeds I'd been collecting for weeks, the journal I brought along to catalog everything I took... or me.

In the Underground City
Note: this is based on a true story. I was walking through Montréal's La Ville Souterraine (The Underground City) during a very cold winter. A woman approached me from a side tunnel and asked me to walk with her because she had been threatened by someone following her. I was only in there because of the weather, and I had my doubts that she was telling the truth...until I saw the man. For the challenge, we are supposed to write our story from another point of view. I will try to enter the head of the one who was following her.

Exploration of the psychological underpinnings of Dark Empaths
Getting Through the Dark: Narcissists vs. Dark Empaths: Understanding, Identifying, and Liberating I have always been fascinated and intrigued by the limitless potential humans hold, which propels us on the path of progression. The odyssey of transforming primitiveness into a touch of modernism is the beauty of the prowess of the human mind. In the vast and complex tapestry that constitutes human relationships, the delicate interplay between these contrasting forces often presents itself as an enigma. Have you ever experienced the captivating yet perplexing dynamics between light and shadow, empathy and narcissism? Within this intricate landscape, dark empaths and narcissists stand out as compelling and enigmatic figures, each characterized by a distinct array of traits and behaviours. On the other hand, susceptible people (HSP), recognized for their deep emotional awareness and sensitivity to the feelings of others, often find themselves traversing the challenging terrain of relationships with these fascinating, yet sometimes troubling, personalities. This journey can be both enlightening and bewildering, as HSPs strive to understand and navigate the emotional landscapes shaped by the contrasting influences of empathy and narcissism.

How to Build a Better Foundation for Creating a Better You
When you think about creating or improving habits or routines, like many others I defaulted to methods like SMART goals is often the first thing that comes to mind. While these strategies are useful, there is more to the process than just setting clear, measurable objectives. We often become fixated on rigid structures or instant results rather than nurturing the underlying mindset and environment designed to support sustainable change.

Failing at Normal
Hello, brains! I say that to you because, if you think about it, it wasn’t really you who decided to come here today. It was your brain. Whether you walked, drove, took a taxi, or rode a bike, that decision was made by your brain. Behavior, all behavior, is affected by the brain. This is a story about my brain.
