humanity

Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.

In Full Bloom.
Today was one of those days. The kind where even getting out of bed feels like a heroic feat. I lay there, tucked beneath my blanket, the world feeling distant, and my to-do list whispering at me from a corner I refused to face. I’d held my wee for so long it was beginning to feel like a metaphor for all the things I was holding in—discomfort, frustration, pressure, hope. And yet, there was also peace. A strange, stubborn kind of peace in admitting that today, I simply didn’t want to try.

An untamed mind
Two minds, like ships passing in the night, collide in the vastness of the space within which dreamers dream... One is older, hair slightly graying...mature, wise and beautiful...The other is young, youthful**filled with the confidence of a life yet unlived...

Why Your Brain Loves the Familiar (Even When It’s Bad for You)
You swear you’re done texting your ex. You stand in front of the fridge, vowing to cook something new but end up reheating the same leftover pasta. Netflix suggests twenty trending titles, but somehow, you’re watching The Office again—same jokes, same comfort, same you.

The Illusion of Identity: When the Self Awakens
From childhood, we are taught that identity is something to be constructed—an ongoing project made of reactions, roles, achievements, and validations. We learn that to be loved, we must be recognizable. To be accepted, we must be defined. The more we fit into the mold, the more we are celebrated. And so, piece by piece, we assemble a self not from essence but from adaptation. We become versions of ourselves that respond—obediently and repeatedly—to what the world mirrors back at us.

When The Mind Trembles
When The Mind Trembles, the Body Breaks They say the body is a temple, but temples fall. Not because the stones grow weary, but because the foundation begins to crack — slowly, silently. And nowhere do those fractures begin more often than in the mind.

Understanding the Difference Between In recent years, conversations about mental health have become more common, and society has taken important steps toward acknowledging the emotional and psychological struggles that many people face. However, even with this growing awareness, there’s still a great deal of confusion between two closely related concepts: **mental health** and **mental illness**. Though they are often used interchangeably, they are not the same thing.
