What to Expect During Your First Therapy Session. AI-Generated.
Walking into your first therapy session can feel like stepping into the unknown. Maybe you’re excited for change, or perhaps you’re nervous about opening up to someone new. Both feelings are completely natural. Many people worry about what to say, how the process works, or whether therapy will actually help. If you’ve been asking yourself those same questions, you’re not alone -I’ve been there too.

A Message to The Villain: Flood the world with light. Content Warning.
I wish I could put the world into a snow globe. Water and glycerin so I could make it all happen ploddingly. All the evil so I could rub it away, it’ll be my genie. I would wish for the thought of killing to turn into legends, myths and tales. Events would pause in words, and would only go on when you turn the page.

Behind the Smile: My Battle with Seasonal Depression
The arrival of autumn often brings cozy sweaters, pumpkin lattes, and golden sunsets for many people. But for me, it also brings something darker—a shadow I’ve learned to recognize all too well.

it’s okay to disappear
Ghosting everyone because you’re lost inside yourself—and why that doesn’t make you a bad friend. There are seasons in life when you suddenly find yourself slipping away from everyone. Not out of spite, not because you stopped caring, but simply because you don’t know what’s happening inside you anymore.

Behind the Smile: The Hidden Faces of Suicide
Every 40 seconds, somewhere in the world, a life is lost to suicide. By the end of the year, that adds up to nearly 800,000 people. For every life taken, there are countless others who attempt it—some estimates say over 20 million attempts each year. These are not just numbers; they represent mothers and brothers, best friends and neighbors. They represent stories cut short, futures never lived, and ripples of grief that travel through families and communities.

My life with OCD
Since writing became a sort of a hobby, as well as a valve for this overheated brain of mine, today I will be sharing a story written in a slightly different way. This topic, being deeply personal for me, carries significant weight and I sincerely hope it can inspire others in similar situations to continue fighting battles with their demons.

Best Binaural Beats App: My Top Picks
Confession: the first time I tried a binaural beats app, I thought my headphones were broken. One ear sounded slightly “off” compared to the other, and I spent ten minutes fiddling with the audio settings before realizing that was the whole point. Not my proudest tech moment.

I Was Surrounded by Men That Sexually Degraded Women. Content Warning.
There was something about him that gave me the ick. I was standing at his front door asking about the available spare room he had advertised, and even from that initial meeting, I had a strong sense he was imagining what I looked like underneath my clothes.

What If Collapse Was the Moment to Come Back to Yourself?
We are living in strange times. Times that shake us, that unsettle and disturb. Every newsfeed feels like a prelude to disaster: rising geopolitical tensions, economic instability, the threat of war, urban violence, the resurgence of extremism, environmental disasters, inflation, and a growing sense that the future is slipping out of reach.
