The Silence Between Us
By Nadeem Shah It had been 472 days since we last spoke. Not that I was counting—at least, not anymore. In the beginning, I counted everything. The days since the argument. The hours since I thought about calling. The number of messages I typed and never sent. The seconds I stood outside your door that one night… and turned away.

How Can We Reduce the Ageing of Our Brain
How Can We Reduce the Ageing of Our Brain? If you’ve ever walked into a room and forgotten why, or stared blankly at a familiar name on your phone, you’ve probably felt that quiet panic: Is this normal… or is my brain aging?

Once A Child . Content Warning.
From the moment we open our eyes—crying in a cold, sterile hospital— the conditions of love begin to blossom. Living and growing in our mother’s bellies only holds a safe place for nearly a year before we were quite literally ejected into chaos we didn’t ask for. From that point on there are conditions to the amount of love and respect we receive. From birth when we are “good babies” in the nursery, the nurses praise us for our cooperation, whereas fussy babies, while still looked at as precious cute creations, are deemed more difficult. Though this example is rather vague and lacks depth into the true meaning of conditional love, it is a pivotal reminder of how we enter and leave this world. Alone.

You Don’t Need to Conquer Public Speaking Fear: You Just Need to Change Your Approach
Fear of public speaking is one of the most common issues I see in therapy. Clients don’t usually start by saying that’s their issue—they might talk about anxiety, perfectionism, or feeling “stuck” in work or school. However, when we dig deeper, the fear of speaking up in front of others shows up again and again.

Crawling Back To You
More times than I can count, I've sat wondering who I truly was beneath all of the shame. I wondered if I was brilliant or if I was truly destined to remain in this child-like state of confusion. Walking the world wondering my purpose as I hide in the shadows of who I knew I wasn't, yet who I'd always been. I'd been dripping in a victimhood so carefully built by those around me who claimed that their love for me meant more than what society views love and friendship as today. I spent so much time in the comfort of being the victim that I hadn't paid any attention to the fact that while these people were building this victimhood, I was handing them the nails and hammer.

Why Are We Obsessed with Labubu? It’s Not Cuteness — It’s the Permission to Be Weird
Recently, Labubu has taken over the internet. Every time I scroll through social media or short videos, I see this little monster with sharp teeth and a mischievous grin. Its expression seems to say, “This is me — deal with it.” I have to admit, I’m tempted to place one quietly on my desk, letting it keep me company on long nights of reading and writing.

Kafka’s Reality Explored: A World Without Escape
In the heart of a foggy, cold city lived a man named Gregor. Every morning, he woke up feeling trapped—though no physical walls held him back. It was the strange feeling that no matter what he did, he could never truly escape the shadows around him. This was not just a place but a strange world, shaped like a maze with no exit. Gregor’s life was a mirror to Kafka’s reality—full of confusion, fear, and a search for meaning where none seemed to exist.
