The Commander Within
*Title:* *The Commander Within* *Subtitle:* *Mastering the mind to lead the body* In a quiet village nestled between forests and hills, lived a young boy named *Raheel*. He was known for his short temper, restless habits, and impulsive actions. If he was angry, he would yell. If he was scared, he would freeze. If he was bored, he’d fidget endlessly. People liked him, but often said, “Raheel acts before thinking.”

The Dimming Mind: How Convenience Culture Is Making Us Forget How to Think. AI-Generated.
We live in an age of astonishing ease. With a few taps, we summon dinner, diagnose a rash, translate a foreign text, or generate an entire business plan. Algorithms anticipate our desires before we consciously register them. The idea that technology should do the thinking for us has become not only accepted—but celebrated.

Trapped in Loops: Making Sense of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
Introduction Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is one of the most misunderstood and often misrepresented mental health conditions in modern discourse. Though the term is frequently tossed around casually to describe someone who likes cleanliness or order, true OCD is far more complex and debilitating. It is a chronic mental disorder marked by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions) that an individual feels driven to perform. These symptoms can significantly interfere with a person’s daily life, relationships, and emotional wellbeing.

Sensory Toys and Spaces
As more awareness about neurodiversity becomes available, so too does understanding and acceptance of places and things to accommodate it. As an autistic person, I have watched places grow and develop new programs and services for the neurodivergent community as I have grown up. They were rare to unheard of when I was growing up in rural California. Particularly libraries were pioneers in creating these spaces or allowing check-outs of fidget and sensory toys. But as time progresses and I'm seeing more and more acceptance, I have started to see such spaces pop up in festivals and conventions as well. There will, in these cases, usually be a quiet room filled with sensory toys and/or weighted blankets.

Silent Hands, Loud Truth
In a small town wrapped in foggy mornings and quiet streets, lived a boy named Haris. He was eight years old, with soft brown eyes and a silence deeper than the sea. No one really knew him. His classmates barely noticed his presence. Teachers marked his attendance, but he was just a shadow in the corner—always quiet, always watching, always hiding.

I Tried to Meditate and Accidentally Summoned a Panic Attack
The Great Meditation Experiment (Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chaos) Let me set the scene: It’s 3 AM. I’ve just watched a YouTube video titled "10 Minutes to Inner Peace!" featuring a man who looks like he’s never once stressed-eaten an entire pizza while crying over a spreadsheet. Inspired, I sit cross-legged on my floor, close my eyes, and prepare to ascend to a higher plane of existence.
