The Evolution of Self Belief: From Doubt to Certainty
There are times when we doubt how far can we go. When we fall into the comfort of comparison and diminish our self-worth because of not being enough for the world. But what exactly is enough?

The Cat on the Wire: A Tale of Commotion and Compassion. Content Warning.
Everyone was glancing up and congregating in the area. When I arrived, the agitation had reached a fever pitch. I asked one of the people that was there already what was going on. He expressed his deafness and muteness in sign language. I apologised, using my minimal amount of sign language—roughly 0. I continued to glance up, but my weak eyesight prevented me from seeing what everyone was fixated on. I then asked a different person. Pardon me... She turned her back on me as if I were a leprechaun. Well, I thought, that's two for two. I decided to ask this old timer and see if I could get any luck.

Eavesdropping Sleepy Mission (Unofficial) Challenge Winners
First, off let me apologize for making you wait. I know I'm a day late, and I posted two stories before this one today, but let me explain: I got called into work last night, and also, I am weirdly particular about the layout of my profile. I like it to go in a certain order when possible (unless there's a series involved.)

One Of Those Days
Introduction Many days I will wake up and have many subjects to write about. I try not to repeat myself and I also am wary of publishing poems one after another. When we work at our day jobs we have no choice but to go to work, deliver what needs delivering and put in the hours.

My Expectations As a Writer Of My Readers And Myself. Top Story - March 2024.
Mackenzie Davis issued a challenge in one of her more recent articles: Writing is NOT a Safe Space. I think this is an amazing idea - because let's be real, I am not writing for fun. I mean, I am writing for fun, but I also want to be a good writer. I want to be a writer with content worth reading. I want people on my writing platforms who read my work to say: "Oh man, she published a book? I have GOT to read it!"

Exam Season Survival: Top Tips for Nurturing Your Mental Wellbeing
Exam Season Survival: Top Tips for Nurturing Your Mental Wellbeing Hard work is the sole key to achieving any goal and dreams that you hold in life. Being true to yourself and placing your utmost efforts in whatever you do, will lead you to the desirable outcome that every person yearns for in their lifetime. To be or not to be the conventional goal achiever, society puts a lot of pressure on children and young adults to academic excellence and achieve good marks in every exam the student undertakes. While it is important to give your 100%, sacrificing your mental health in the process ultimately results in complete burnout and renders you unable to function healthily and productively.
