Trying to get back to full-time work whilst recovering from depression
There is a particular kind of silence that follows depression; it’s the absence left behind when your old life no longer fits and the new one hasn’t quite formed yet. That’s why I often compare depression with the state of metamorphosis.

Decision Fatigue and the Hidden Cost of Constant Choice. AI-Generated.
Modern life is defined by choice. From the moment we wake up, we are faced with decisions: what to wear, what to eat, which messages to answer first, how to structure the day, what to buy, what to avoid. While choice is often framed as a form of freedom, psychology reveals a more complicated reality. Too many decisions, even small and seemingly harmless ones, can exhaust the mind. This phenomenon is known as decision fatigue, a subcategory of cognitive psychology that explores how repeated decision-making depletes mental energy and affects judgment, impulse control, and emotional regulation.

My Experience on Silencing Autism
I wanted to do an educational article on something that has recently come up in my attention. I was having lunch with some of my peers - and one of the ladies spoke briefly about someone she provides care for: "You know, so-and-so still is so loud and needs to learn to not make everyone miserable just because she is miserable." The so-and-so is an autistic individual and I wanted to say something then, but bit my tongue.

The Night I Understood Football
I didn’t go to the game expecting hope. It was a cold November Thursday. My brother had just lost his job. My nephew hadn’t spoken in days after a school incident. The world felt heavy, and the last thing I wanted was to watch a mismatch—our hometown team facing a dynasty that hadn’t lost in months.

When You Heal, You Grieve the Life You Tolerated. AI-Generated.
Healing is often sold as a sunrise. A bright thing. A moment where pain loosens its grip and the world feels newly possible. But no one talks enough about the quiet mourning that follows. The unexpected grief. Because when you heal, you don’t just feel better—you finally see what you survived. And that realization can ache in a way you never expected.

What’s Wrong With Me?
For most of my life, my first instinct was accusation. Why can’t I focus like everyone else? Why am I so tired when I haven’t “earned” it? Why do small things feel so heavy?

You’re Not Burned Out — You’re Living in a Broken System
The Morning Weight It starts before you even open your eyes. It’s that heavy, sinking feeling in your chest—a mixture of dread and exhaustion that no amount of caffeine can wash away. You look at your alarm clock, and for a fleeting second, you calculate how many hours of sleep you would get if you called in sick. But you don’t. You get up. You shower. You open your laptop or commute to an office, and you begin the cycle all over again.

I Let AI Help Run My Love Life in 2025 — And It Got a Little Too Honest
If you’ve been single in 2025, you already know: the dating apps are starting to feel less like apps and more like ecosystems. Profiles are written by AI, photos are filtered by AI, and now, if you want, your whole “compatibility journey” can be guided by an algorithm that claims to understand you better than you understand yourself.��

I Tried Living Like It Was 2010 Again — And It Quietly Broke Me
Nostalgia is sneaky. It doesn’t just show you the past; it edits it for you. It cuts out the awkward silences, the cheap shampoo, the bad phone cameras, and leaves you with sunsets, inside jokes, and a version of yourself who always seemed a little lighter.
