  • Ignored by Some — Awake to a Culture of Unawareness

    I’m having an issue adapting to a society that can’t keep a promise, honor its word, or communicate true feelings and intentions. The issue has two parts: I’m not understanding why they do it, and how it hurts me every time it’s done to me. I’m not sure. I think I take it personally. For…

  • My Love, Where did the trust go?

    This has been brewing in the back of my mind for a while now. Part of it comes from observing myself. The other part, from observing others.

  • Locked Plans, Open Regrets: The Struggle to Stay Flexible

    The idea that one day I’ll reach happiness—the kind that aligns perfectly with everyone looking at me in admiration (according to society’s standards)—is bullshit. I know that. You know that. We all know that. So why do we keep chasing it? The idea that I’ll have all my boxes ticked, that everything will fall into…

  • Soft Toilet Papers, Hard Truths: Wiping Away Cultural Constraints with Love

    Small conflict here, a bigger one there. War starts there and ends up bigger here. The usual human way to unleash the big world war. We all know it. It’s what everyone expects by now. But that’s not our story. Nor is it about the global supply chains collapsing, making it hard to find simple…
