The socioeconomics of humanness
The socioeconomics of humanness lies in the beauty of balancing the aspects of togetherness and isolation. In a world where life coincides with the duality of forces, oscillating between the forces of light and dark, beauty and hate, love and hatred, birth and death, humans are the most endearing and detrimental beings ever to exist. The prowess of intellect and communication, with the stellar mind that created the strides of evolution and lapses of civilization, is undeniably the most striking aspect of what makes humans the most resilient beings of them all. Yet we fall into the pits of downfall, where we forget the radiance of hope, the enclasp of a mother’s warmth, the depth of kindness, the trance that we fall into from time to time although harrowing, is what makes us human. We have to go through a phase of failure and aloofness to fully embrace the goodness of bliss and the peonies of gratitude that embellish the strides of our existential realm.

Discovering Happiness: Six Things to Look Forward to in 2025
Everybody posts about their accomplishments of success, competence, grit, and determination at this time of year. How beautifully their vision boards have come to life in the splendour of their captivating lives! Even though it is a wonderful accomplishment for everyone who had a year full of love and happiness, it is crucial to keep in mind that the life that is portrayed on social media is the culmination of a person's greatest moments throughout their entire life. Putting oneself out there and sharing their happiness on their platform is fantastic, but in a society where comparison is so widespread. 2024 has been a challenging year for me, as it has been for many others.. Everybody has experienced their share of setbacks and victories this year, and each person's level of pain varies.

The Need to Be Strong: The Reasons Why Men Don't Discuss Their Emotions
Are you a girl? Why are you crying?! Boys don't cry, they are meant to lead the family and be the bearers of the family. Our society has conditioned both men and women about the way they should react and behave to be deemed normal and acceptable in a social setting. It is harrowing to see societal standards and perceptions of how both genders should act and lead their lives, impacting individuals to embrace their authentic light and nurture their needs and wants.

Life in its brevity often feels burdensome, yearning for us to be free of all the turbulence that stirs up its breaths in our hearts.
