🧠When My Brain Wouldn’t Shut Up — The Trick That Saved Me
For years, I thought overthinking was just part of who I was. I used to lie in bed staring at the ceiling, replaying every awkward conversation, every mistake, every “what if.” My mind was like a broken record — loud, restless, and relentless.

The Last Illusion: Why Humanity Still Chooses Belief Over Truth
Truth has always been a fragile companion. We chase it, then turn away when it looks back at us. In its place, we build softer, safer worlds — stories that make sense of chaos, even when they’re not real.

Keeping the Mind Young: Science-Backed Ways to Slow Brain Ageing
As we age, we often expect wrinkles, weaker bones, or slower movement — but what truly worries most people is the ageing of the mind. Forgetting names, losing focus, or feeling mentally fatigued can be frightening signs that our brain is changing. Yet, science is uncovering hopeful news: the brain is not a machine doomed to wear out.

Why Women Test You Harder Once They Feel Attracted
Many men think attraction is the “finish line” in dating. You win her interest, she likes you, and now everything should get easier, right? Not exactly. In reality, attraction is only the beginning.

The Truth About Shadow
When I was really small and the world was really big and scary, I had an imaginary friend who I had become very reliant on. His name was Shadow and it was kind of a play on Peter Pan's Shadow, and how Peter always had to sew his Shadow back onto the soles of his feet. As a child, surrounded by other children who also loved Peter Pan, the pre-woke generation that didn't see the Racism depicted in it, I felt safe enough to bring my Shadow everywhere.

Showing Up
Human beings are social creatures, and much of our identity is built on how others perceive us. Most of us want to be respected, admired, and included. Yet for some people, this need turns into a compulsion. They develop the habit of “showing up”— inserting themselves into situations not to contribute meaningfully, but to be noticed, admired, or seen as superior. To observers, this behavior often comes across as arrogant or ignorant. But psychology shows that behind such attention-seeking displays lie complex motivations, insecurities, and social dynamics.

When Silence Follows You
Being late never used to bother me. But today, it feels heavier than bad timing—it feels like fate. The university library stretches before me, polished tiles gleaming under harsh fluorescent lights. Every sound seems amplified. My shoes scuff against the floor. My breath bounces back at me. Even the faint creak of a shelf seems to shout in the emptiness. In this antiseptic quiet, I am listening. Straining. Waiting. Because here, silence isn’t safety. Silence is a trap.
