Thinking About the Past
The past is a stepping stone, not a millstone. — Robert Plant Reflecting on the past is a natural and often beneficial aspect of human cognition. It allows individuals to learn from their experiences, understand their journey, and shape their future actions. However, excessive rumination on past events can lead to a range of psychological issues, including anxiety, depression, and hindered decision-making. There is a delicate balance between healthy reflection and overthinking the past.

Twin Shadows
Having anxiety and depression is like being scared and tired at the same time. It’s the fear of failure but no urge to be productive. It’s wanting friends but hating to socialize. It’s wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely. It’s caring about everything, then caring about nothing. It’s feeling everything at once, then feeling paralyzingly numb. — Anonymous

Overcome difficult times
Contemplating life with a grave, serious, and unsmiling demeanor appears justified when reflecting on the profound capacity for wickedness within our species. The pages of human history are stained with instances of monstrous suffering, driven by unbridled greed and an insatiable penchant for cruelty. Our minds, often capricious and unruly, lead us down labyrinthine paths of error and chaos, leaving no soul untouched by the formidable challenges existence throws our way. It's easy to succumb to the belief that every day is a relentless onslaught of adversity, culminating in the inevitability of the worst possible outcomes.

Dear Silence
I am very thankful for the silence that has been my best friend since I knew a bit of truth and some bitter truth of society. I hope to jump from that bit to a byte in some near future. It does not bother me people calling me introvert, wondering if there is something special if I smile a bit more. But if I was not silent or say introvert to you, I might not be fitted to your environment. My thoughts are not likely to get fitted to society but there is this silence, so you admire me.
