The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation
*The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation* Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in our brain's reward and pleasure centers. It is often referred to as the "feel-good" hormone, and for good reason. Dopamine is released in response to pleasurable activities, such as eating, exercise, or social interactions, and it helps to motivate us to repeat those behaviors. However, when dopamine is released in excess or in response to artificial stimuli, such as social media or pornography, it can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.

A Letter to the Person I Used to Be
Dear Me, I don’t write to you often — mostly because I’ve been too busy trying to survive, adapt, prove, and protect. But today, I felt you. In the silence between tasks. In the ache behind my smile. In the mirror, when I almost didn’t recognize who I’d become. So this is a letter to you — the person I used to be.

When the Light Fades: Understanding Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD)
Introduction As the days grow shorter and the sunlight fades, a familiar heaviness creeps into the lives of many. It's more than a dislike for cold weather or fewer daylight hours—it’s a recurring emotional and physiological pattern that returns each year with almost uncanny precision. For those affected, this pattern isn't simply a matter of winter blues; it's a recognized psychological condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD.

Micro Joys: The Tiny Moments That Are Quietly Saving Our Lives
Most days, we’re just trying to get through. We juggle to-do lists, unread messages, constant notifications, and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) pressure to be more—more successful, more productive, more present, more grateful. It’s easy to believe joy has to be earned or scheduled, like a vacation you save up for or a milestone you finally reach.

Living on the Emotional Edge: Understanding Cyclothymic Disorder
Introduction Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs. A burst of excitement one day, a dip in motivation the next — it's part of being human. But for some, these fluctuations are more than just ordinary mood shifts; they form a persistent, confusing rhythm that quietly shapes their entire life. When your inner world feels like a never-ending ride between minor emotional highs and unexpected lows — without ever tipping fully into mania or deep depression — it might not just be personality. It might be Cyclothymic Disorder.

The Complexities of Co-Dependency
Have you ever met a person who couldn't do the simplest of tasks on their own? That person might even be you. There is always a deeper understanding of things like introverts, extroverts, the ego, etc., within society. The idea that someone doesn't like to be surrounded by noise isn't too uncommon. Just like the idea that an individual is their best drowning in a sea of people. Sometimes, you can struggle with an entirely different aspect of self. One that might even make you lose your own. Co-dependency.
