Shocking Facts On Abuse Against Men
In today's culture, awareness is spreading. There are many cultural issues that were swept under the rug for decades, and starting with my generation, we are yanking the cover off them. LBGT rights and awareness, mental illness, global warming, and of course, abuse.

Brain v. Food v. ADHD
The best part of my journey in the late discovery of my ADHD is finding communities of people that thrive through the lack of vilifying meals and foods that don’t require more than 10 minutes of prep. One of the main rules for these groups is that you don’t comment on how ‘healthy’ the meal is, or whether it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’; food is food, and sometimes any food is better than no food. I can’t count how many times somebody has put themself down for the food they’re eating, trying to ‘justify’ it to a group of people who already understand.

I Blame TikTok. Top Story - August 2022.
I, like so many other twenty somethings, have fallen victim to the clock app. Doom scrolling for hours a day just to feel something, joining the Eddie cult, and saving an unmentionable amount of posts that would likely alarm my therapist with or without context.

Is The Illusion Of Luxury Brands Making You Stupid?
This morning, I was on my table sipping coffee and browsing on AliExpress, one of the most popular Chinese retail applications. Among many aesthetic clothes, accessories and jewellery, one can also find the dupes of almost all of the products from major luxury brands. What’s more, you can also add to your cart, a brand new electric car, or even a medium-sized DIY house!

How Tik Tok Helped My Mental Health — And Yet Somehow Didn’t. Top Story - May 2022.
When COVID first swooped through the world and everything came to a screeching halt, I was laid off. But with the understanding that I would get a job back when the wheels were starting to turn again. Now that took six months. During those first six months, I found myself in an in-between. Not able to do anything or go anywhere. I was just sitting at home. Because no one knew exactly what we were looking at or understood the ramifications of this virus.

How Can Video Games Affect Your Children?
The mobile phone has become the primary means of entertaining or rewarding children in all homes, and the use of the mobile phone is no longer a specific age, as mothers use the phone to entertain a child who has not reached the age of one year to distract him from crying!
