All of the Stigmas Society Ignores in Hicktown
The stigma of homeless is very sad, almost devastating. A friend once told me, we all assume roles it's whether we agree to those roles or not. Mike was right though. I'm going to be sad to admit this, but I never thought being homeless in Hicktown would be this stimgaticly bad.

Why Men's Mental Health Matters. Content Warning.
The stigma surrounding men's mental health is a pervasive issue that often goes unaddressed. Society has ingrained in men the belief that expressing emotions or seeking help is a sign of weakness, perpetuating a harmful cycle of silence and suffering. This toxic masculinity not only damages men's well-being but also affects their relationships, careers, and overall quality of life.

Ask Inner God
In China, both children and adults have been trying to exceed others in "life competition". For children, they are instructed by teachers to study extremely hard to get admitted into a top-tier school (like municipal junior school, provincial high school, university with the title of “985”, etc.) . Moreover, parents also play a role in pressing them to join extracurricular study classes, with nearly total ignorance of children's real interests. For adults, when attempt to set foot on this dog-eat-dog society, they finally find it difficult to find a satisfactory job, especially in the background of the sluggish economy. A tiny minority of university graduates may get lucky, as they outweigh others in the fierce civil service examination or the interview of some lucrative companies after rounds of selection, and are eligible to get a relatively respectable job. However, Most of the lower-middle class adults have to do with jobs which feature demanding long-time work and low salaries and no social insurance. Since restriction on age exists in many job descriptions, unemployed people over the age of 35 can hardly get a job at all. In a word, competition hangs over common Chinese during their life-span development.

How Random Posts Enlighten My Mental Health Journey
I have always enjoyed writing and explaining concepts using creative ways and word choice that allow me to really connect to the heart of the reader or listener. But making time has always been difficult, so my solution was to use my social media platform as a writing tool to expand my creative sparkle. I committed to a weekly post on my Instagram account using one of my many photos I kept from random places and using it as a prop to write. Typically, I start brainstorming days ahead as I go over the picture selection and what to write about or I can come up with something creative on the spot and post it right away. This creative process is rewarding as it helps me get out of the mundane, while inspiring others. Although there was a flow in my creativity, it lacked structure and organization.

love in the shadows
**Love in the Shadows** It was a rainy Tuesday evening when Alex first noticed her. He was huddled under the awning of his favorite coffee shop, watching the city’s rush hour unfold like a chaotic dance. People were darting between puddles, clutching their umbrellas against the wind, and somewhere in that gray blur, she stood out.
