Relationship satire can be cathartic; when love hurts too much, just laugh.

The Four Faces of Ishaaq
I. The Child: Born in a House of Silence Ishaaq was born on a Monday—a day neither holy nor cursed—into a house made of mud, secrets, and silence. His mother’s scream was the only sound in the room when he arrived. Not a wail from Ishaaq, not a word from his father. A midwife muttered “He looks like a thinking boy”, as if that were a curse in a town that worshipped ignorance.

Why People Return to Toxic Relationships
Toxic relationships are complex and heart-wrenching. Despite the undeniable pain, many individuals find themselves repeatedly drawn back into these harmful dynamics. Rather than a simple matter of weak will or poor decision-making, returning to a toxic partner is often a manifestation of deep-rooted psychological patterns, emotional dependencies, and a yearning for familiarity—even when familiar means suffering.

🌊 "The Battle for Paradise: Raja Ampat’s Hidden Nickel War"
Nestled off the northwestern tip of Bird’s Head Peninsula in West Papua, Indonesia, the Raja Ampat archipelago is often called the “last paradise on Earth.” Famed for its crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral reefs, and unmatched marine biodiversity, this remote region attracts divers, scientists, and eco-tourists from around the world.

The Hearts Whisper and Shadows Linger. Content Warning.
On a rain-soaked evening in a city that had seen too many heartbreaks and fleeting romances, Lena found herself wandering under the warm glow of streetlights. Each droplet that slipped down the cobblestone resembled tiny memories of a past too painful to bury. Lena had once believed love was the answer to every ache, a promise of tomorrow’s magic. Yet now, haunted by the echo of promises broken, she wondered if trust in love was nothing more than a fairy tale spun to soothe aching hearts.

Conversations I Wish I Had With My Younger Self
If I could sit across from my younger self—wide-eyed, restless, and so eager to figure it all out—I wouldn’t scold him. I wouldn’t lecture him. I’d listen to him first. I’d hear the fears he never voiced out loud, the questions he was too afraid to ask. And then, I’d share with him the quiet truths that only time and pain have made clear.

A Cycle of Suffering in Gaza
The Fragile Ceasefire The guns fell silent on November 24, 2023, marking Gaza's first dawn in seven weeks without the mechanical whine of drones. As the pale winter sun rose over shattered neighborhoods, people emerged like ghosts from the rubble. Um Youssef, a 58-year-old grandmother, knelt in what remained of her kitchen, sifting through broken dishes with trembling hands. "This was where I made maqluba every Friday," she told a neighbor, her voice cracking as she held up a single surviving coffee cup.

Phoenix Rising Abusive Situation PSA Series #1
When I am bored with life, I troll the Reddit forums to really get in touch with my own depravity. Thankfully, Reddit is the place you can go to learn that, in fact, you're downright normal when compared to some of the psychos out there.
