Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Anxiety... Autism... or both?. Content Warning.
I've been having a lot of meltdowns and shutdowns in this past year. It's been almost 9 months since I was diagnosed with autism. It was an expensive diagnosis that has honestly been more problematic than helpful (but hopefully that will change soon).

Dear Men: It's Okay to Cry. Content Warning.
Several months ago, I wrote a story about MLB All-Star Jarren Duran and his struggles with his mental health. There was a docuseries in 2024 where he discussed his suicide attempts in 2022. Besides the homophobic slur he uttered towards a fan that occurred in August 2024, which I still hold him accountable for, I was empathetic towards his plight and also commended him for being open and honest about his personal battles. Many people believe that athletes have perfect lives, but in reality, there's no such thing as a perfect life. In fact, it doesn't exist. At the end of the day, they're regular people just like us and go through hardships. You never know what goes on behind the scenes in their lives.

Today's world seems full of noise—people talking, cars moving, screens buzzing, thoughts swirling. Everywhere there's a rush, competition, comparison, and the pressure of expectations. But amidst all this, there's a skill that few people learn: the skill of remaining silent. This skill isn't simple; it comes from within—from understanding, calmness, and patience.

Enlightenment and Fate
Enlightenment and Fate Chase McQuade A single, monstrous spider, with three distinct heads and one piercing eye, sat at the heart of an immense web. This wasn't just any web; it was a cosmic loom, perpetually weaving new threads for all of humankind. Suddenly, the web trembled, a tremor signaling a new capture, another being ensnared within its intricate strands.

The Mirror We Avoid: Why We’re Afraid to See Ourselves Clearly
The Reflection We No Longer Trust The most recorded time in human history is being now lived. We share our experiences with strangers, chronicle our everyday life, arrange our memories, and continuously photograph ourselves. Still, never have we felt more estranged from our true selves than we have now despite this clear exposure.
