The Fake You Will Destroy the Real You
People are now increasingly shaped by social media, curated identities, and performance-based validation, the temptation to wear a “fake personality” has become more pervasive than ever. People tailor their behaviors, speech, and even values to fit in, gain approval, or climb social and professional ladders.

Into The Shadows
When I had my very first experience with mental illness, It made me very aware that there was so much to this world, than any of us had been taught to believe. I had a visual hallucination manifest in my bedroom, when I was 21 years old, and the feeling that came from this presence was completely dark, as was the voice that soon followed. The presence presented itself very much alike the character from the Grudge movie, the whispiness and motion as though suspended in invisible water.

The End is Seen with Reason... Not with Tears. Some people don’t need to live every hard moment to know how something will end. They can look ahead and feel what’s coming. These people often get called cold or heartless. But really, they just see things differently. They use both the heart and the mind.

Let’s get one thing straight: laziness is a myth. Okay, fine—maybe it exists somewhere in the universe, like in the heart of a teenager who hasn’t seen their bedroom floor in six months. But for most of us? What we call "laziness" is actually mental exhaustion wearing a disguise.
