Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Mind Viruses
1. Why Ideas Spread Like Viruses Have you ever wondered why some ideas refuse to die, even when proven false? Why do myths, conspiracies, and irrational beliefs spread so quickly and survive for generations? The answer lies in memetics, the study of how ideas evolve and spread like viruses.

Overcoming the Fear of Infidelity. AI-Generated.
Mental health is one of the most significant aspects of a person’s well-being and a key to a happy life. However, past experiences or deeply unsettling events can leave lasting scars, affecting one’s emotional stability. When your self-worth becomes dependent on someone else—especially your partner—coping with such fears becomes even more challenging.

Apollo 11: A Forensic Approach to Photographic Consistency
Note: This process began in 2021 and is now concluding There is a quiet, unrelenting pain in recognizing that the truth—the hard, unvarnished truth—often holds no power in the face of perception. I have spent years deliberately training myself to acknowledge my own errors, embracing the discomfort of self-examination. And yet, the more I correct myself, the more the world accuses me of an inability to concede. The irony is a bitter one.

Richard Dominick’s Role in the Decline of American Society’s Behavioral Standards
The Jerry Springer Show, known for its sensationalized conflicts, outrageous confrontations, and controversial content, played a significant role in shaping American media and public discourse. Richard Dominick, the show's executive producer from 1994 to 2008, was instrumental in driving the show’s most infamous elements—escalating its shock value, prioritizing drama over discourse, and pushing the boundaries of what was acceptable on daytime television. Through his leadership, the show not only entertained but also contributed to the normalization of problematic behaviors such as violence, public humiliation, and moral decay. This essay argues that Dominick’s leadership in shaping the show’s content significantly contributed to the normalization of toxic behaviors in American society, fostering a culture of aggression, spectacle, and desensitization to social norms.

Way back when we were grownups...Were we though?
Do humans ever really feel truly grown-up. Or is it a skewered, befuddling and abstract confusing subject. Adulthood...that glittering mirage on the horizon of youth, often feels like a destination that never quite materializes. Many chase the elusive notion of being "grown-up", only to discover that the essence of maturity is neither linear ( consisting of or related to straight lines, or a single dimension) nor definitive. It’s a bit like trying to grasp a shadow—it morphs, evades, and teases, leaving you wondering if it was ever meant to be caught or held unto earnestly or desperately.

Relationships Aren’t Transactions
In a world where we weave through the complexities of human connections, it is perhaps a little too easy to forget that the only person we truly know is ourselves. Everyone else—those friends, family members, colleagues, and lovers—are, in a sense, unfamiliar and unpredictable entities that we attempt to bring into our lives. We think of them as extensions of our desires, functions in the greater machinery of our day-to-day existence. But perhaps, relationships are less like the human connections we idealize and more like machines we expect to perform specific tasks for us.

I'm Not Adjusting Well. Top Story - March 2025.
Transformation is change. And not all change is as good as we wish for. William Wordsworth wrote, “The child is the father to the man,” implying that our childhood is what tends to mold and shape our future life, including how raise our own children. I felt this to be true with my own upbringing. I grew up with my live-in Italian grandmother who took care of me until I was eight or nine years old. I understood she looked out for me, cared for me, but it didn’t always show. It was an old army blanket - scratchy at times but still warm. It was only a few years later I learned my mother did not fully embrace her own mother for reasons she never divulged. She took care of Nonny because my mother did what a daughter ought to do through filial obligation.

Echoes of Yesterday. AI-Generated.
The first time it happened, Daniel dismissed it as nothing. A passing sound—an old music box tune—floating in the air as he walked past a bookstore. He barely noticed it, yet something about it made his chest tighten, like a memory just out of reach. He paused, listening, but the sound was gone. Just a figment of his imagination.
