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

I feel we are at the corner of something revolutionary and yet evolutionarily necessitated. Some psychologists acknowledge only the past century as a time for our field when it has been alive and well, but giving credit to the late Charles Darwin means first acknowledging the agencies that formed out of novel curiosity, which would eventually call the field home. Psychology evolves, sometimes quickly, but the questions at its core remain the same.

The Verge
The Verge by Theodore Homuth Elena had never been afraid of hard work. She had learned young that love and obligation often shared the same shelves. Her mother, a stubborn optimist, taught her that running their café was more than a business—it was a promise to the community, a gathering place woven out of warmth, music, and coffee.

Weight of Unspoken Things
Have you ever swallowed your truth so many times that silence begins to feel safer than honesty? What's your why? For a long time, expressing myself felt like stepping into dangerous territory. Territory guarded by expectations, traditions, and unspoken rules I never agreed to but still inherited.

Why Questioning God
An Age-Old Controversial Topic: Why is Questioning God So Often Viewed as a Bad Thing? There is this belief that seems to span worldwide, that questioning faith is negative, and even sinful – depending on the faith you subscribe to. This is deeply rooted in the concept of absolute trust and the structural foundations of many traditional religions.

Psychology Says If You Bring Up These 9 Topics in a Conversation, You Have Below-Average Social Skills. AI-Generated.
Conversations are powerful. They help us connect, build trust, and understand each other. But sometimes, without realizing it, we bring up topics that make others uncomfortable, bored, or even irritated. According to psychologists, certain subjects are strong indicators of below-average social awareness—not because the topics themselves are “bad,” but because of how and when they’re used.

Leave Your Past Behind
Once upon a time, there was a bird in the forest. This bird was very kind and beautiful. But for a while, it started doing something strange. Every day, whatever it saw, heard or felt, good or bad, it would write down on small stones. Then it would store them in a small bag and fly away. Whether the memory was happy or sad, the bird believed that every moment was worth remembering. It became a habit and even found pleasure in it. It believed that beautiful memories should be preserved forever because such moments may never come back. Even bad experiences were meant to teach it something, so they should be written down too. First of all, it was pleasant for the bird. Every day he would write his experiences on the stones and fill the bag. But as time passed, this habit became stronger. The bag was filled with new stones every day. As a result, it became difficult for the bird to fly. Still, he still believed that all these memories would come in handy one day. That little bag became a treasure for his life. But as time passed, the bag became heavier. The more stones he put in, the heavier it became and it gradually began to affect the bird's wings. Now he could no longer fly as fast or high as before. One day on the way, the bird met a wise old owl. "Little bird," the owl asked, "why did you carry this bag?" The bird smiled and replied, "This bag contains everything in my life, all its joys and sorrows, every lesson from my past." The owl bowed its head and said, "So are you alive in the present? Or are you flying with the weight of yesterday's memories?" The bird did not understand. It flew away. But this time, the flight felt heavier and more painful. Weeks passed. Now the bag was full. The bird could barely lift it off the ground. Its wings ached. It had no strength left. Still, it dragged the bag with it as it walked. One rainy day, as the bird tried to move forward, it slipped. The weight of the stones crushed its fragile body. It lay still, buried under the memories that it once considered the key to its survival. But now those memories had destroyed it. When the rain stopped, some birds flew away. But the little bird had already flown away. Before long, the owl arrived. It looked at the silent bird with sadness in its eyes and whispered, "Memories are there to guide us, not to burden us." This short story teaches us a powerful lesson. Good or bad, memories should be left in the past. We should learn to let go and move on. We should not keep everything with us. We often do that. We collect every little memory, good or bad. But if we carry the burden of the past every day, eventually we will get tired inside. We fail to enjoy the present and cannot move forward into the future. Like birds, many people cling to the pain or even the joys of the past for too long. But life is all about letting go. We cannot get back what we have lost. But we can make our day beautiful. So let go of the past, good or bad, and learn to live in the present. Because we cannot change tomorrow, but we can shape today. Try new experiences, do something new, and create something meaningful in our life. Forgive, forget, move on, feel something new, take new steps, and be at peace.

Psychology on the go
That dream about the dinosaur in a leotard, the moments you said something you wish you hadn’t, even the words that spill out before you know you’re going to say them—these all come from the small, constant workings of your mind. Your thoughts and behaviors make your life possible and shape the world around you. Aside from other human minds, your own is the most complex structure we know of, guided by rules that remain mysterious. Maybe our brains aren’t quite advanced enough to fully understand themselves, but that has never stopped us from trying.

. "Positive Thoughts, Positive Life"
Introduction Every human being is shaped by the quality of his thoughts. Our actions, habits, and ultimately our destiny are deeply influenced by what we constantly feed into our minds. The saying “You are what you think” is not just a philosophical idea—it is a truth backed by psychology, science, and even spirituality. When a person fills his mind with positive, constructive, and uplifting thoughts, he attracts a better life. On the other hand, negative, fearful, or destructive thoughts create stress, failure, and unhappiness.

Behind the Screen: How E-Commerce Is Rewriting Human Life
You probably didn't even notice it. Maybe it was just another night. You were tired, half-asleep, your phone in hand. You opened an app without thinking, browsed through a few products, read some suspiciously similar reviews, tapped "Buy Now," and went back to what you were doing. Somewhere in the distance, a warehouse light came on, you scanned a barcode, and a package arrived. A few days later, a small box arrived at your door, and the moment was complete.

The Month Everyone Gets Wrong About Suicide
The public conversation around suicide repeats a mistake every year. As soon as December hits, social media fills with somber graphics, dramatic pleas, and emotional declarations insisting that the holidays are the most dangerous time for suicidal behavior. The message is well-intended, but it is wrong. The data has been stable for decades.

Why Do We Stay In Mediocre Relationships?
Today marks 52 weeks since I ended my last long-term relationship (just shy of two years). I remember the day it ended better than most of the rest of the relationship; not surprising, as the relationship, on the whole, wasn’t one that rocked my socks off. It wasn’t a bad relationship, precisely, it just wasn’t that great. We had some good times, some rough ones, and there was definitely some compatibility to it, but, when it all comes down to it, I just wasn’t that into it.
