The Devil’s Plea
Faramarz Parsa A whisper between thought and light. The Devil Weeping Before God The Devil was weeping loudly as he begged God for forgiveness, pleading to be granted refuge in the divine presence — to be spared from the cruelty of humankind.

Scrolling Through the Void: How Social Media Quietly Emptied Our Minds
We little observe the fast, practically instinctive flick of our thumb now. Reading. This happens while we are traveling on public transportation, waiting in line at supermarkets, having brief thoughts, and even in between breaths. Eventually the silent voids in our lives became intolerable, therefore we filled them with noises, notifications, and a nonstop stream with no beginning or finish.

Word of the Day: 癌
This weekend I didn't get anything done unfortunately... I don't regret it though, it does kind of suck but... What happened was that Sebastian cancelled with me. We were planning on having fun together this weekend, I even bought some lingerie he liked and it was going to come some time in the afternoon.

Mastering Conflict with the Indirect Aggressor
Engaging in a debate or conflict with an individual who employs passive-aggressive tactics can be profoundly frustrating, often leaving you exhausted and questioning your own perceptions. Unlike overt aggression, which is direct and confrontational, passive-aggression is a subterranean form of hostility, marked by a resistance to demands for adequate performance in social or occupational situations, frequently alternating between obstructionism and deliberate inefficiency. It is a veiled attempt to exert control, punish, or express anger without the personal risk of open confrontation.

An wonderful Encounter
I have always known that immigrant life is not easy. It is full of challenges, mental breakdowns, sweats and tears. But learning is something and experiencing it is completely different! You have the days of being unheard, invisibility and isolations. The most pathetic part is- another fellow human does that to you. You have always been nice to them, tried to be a friend, but they cannot even count you as a person when you are required to have a group study. On the other hand, I am facing tons of rejections from the employers- even after fulfilling all their conditions, even after formatting every CV and Cover Letter. I do not know anybody in this country and I am not good in networking. That has always been my Achilles Heel. People I have tried to reach out- could not help me. The worst part is- I am not even getting any interviews. And I am genuinely struggling to learn the new language which is far far away from my native language and English.

I Didn’t Walk Away I Just Stopped Walking Toward What Hurt Me
There wasn’t a dramatic ending. No slammed doors. No announcements. No “I deserve better” speech. Just one ordinary day, I woke up and realized my energy felt too expensive to waste on places where I kept shrinking.
