    There was a time when I loved drawing and painting more than anything else. It wasn’t just a hobby for me; it was my way of expressing emotions that I couldn’t put into words. With every stroke of color, every pencil sketch, I felt a sense of peace, as if I was creating a world…

    In a world where societal norms often dictate the trajectory of our lives, the decision to remain single can feel like a quiet rebellion.

    Is my life today what I pictured a year ago? Not at all. In fact, it’s nothing like I imagined years ago. Years ago, I was a different person – determined, ambitious, full of dreams. I still remember those moments when I sat quietly and planned my future, believing that by 2025, I would be…

    If there’s one thing I deeply hope people say about me, it’s that they appreciate me—not just for what I do, but for who I am. I hope they see the quiet strength behind my silence, the genuine care I offer even when it’s hard for me to express it openly, and the small but…

    What could I do less of? Oh boy, where do I even start? First off, I could overthink less—like, way less. I mean, if overthinking were an Olympic sport, I’d have a gold medal in every category. From “What did they really mean by that text?” to “Am I blinking too loudly?”—yes, that’s a thing…

    In the vast spectrum of human personality traits, certain archetypes have intrigued psychologists and the general public alike. Among the latest and most controversial is the concept of the “Dark Empath”—an individual who combines emotional intelligence and empathy with darker traits such as manipulation, narcissism, or even psychopathy.

    If I could write my own first impression for people to read, it would go something like this: “Friendly, kind, and totally approachable!” Unfortunately, my resting face often seems to have its own agenda, and it’s not reading the same script. It’s like my face decided to go with “mildly annoyed and probably plotting world…

    If I could live anywhere in the world, I would choose a place where life feels like a gentle stroll through nature rather than a chaotic sprint on crowded streets. Somewhere the air feels fresher, the colors are more vibrant, and people seem to understand the beauty of a slower, more mindful way of life.…

    Let me introduce you to the holiday we all need but never realized—National Do Nothing Day. Imagine a day where the only requirement is simply to exist. No endless to-do lists, no pressure to be productive, no expectations to meet. Just a mental reboot in a world running on caffeine and chaos. Why do we…

    Being a kid at heart is like having a hidden stash of magic that keeps you young, hopeful, and curious about the world. To me, it’s a badge of honor and a reminder that growing up doesn’t mean you have to give up on wonder. It’s that part of me that still thinks dessert can…
