The socioeconomics of humanness
The socioeconomics of humanness lies in the beauty of balancing the aspects of togetherness and isolation. In a world where life coincides with the duality of forces, oscillating between the forces of light and dark, beauty and hate, love and hatred, birth and death, humans are the most endearing and detrimental beings ever to exist. The prowess of intellect and communication, with the stellar mind that created the strides of evolution and lapses of civilization, is undeniably the most striking aspect of what makes humans the most resilient beings of them all. Yet we fall into the pits of downfall, where we forget the radiance of hope, the enclasp of a mother’s warmth, the depth of kindness, the trance that we fall into from time to time although harrowing, is what makes us human. We have to go through a phase of failure and aloofness to fully embrace the goodness of bliss and the peonies of gratitude that embellish the strides of our existential realm.

The Need to Be Strong: The Reasons Why Men Don't Discuss Their Emotions
Are you a girl? Why are you crying?! Boys don't cry, they are meant to lead the family and be the bearers of the family. Our society has conditioned both men and women about the way they should react and behave to be deemed normal and acceptable in a social setting. It is harrowing to see societal standards and perceptions of how both genders should act and lead their lives, impacting individuals to embrace their authentic light and nurture their needs and wants.

Through The Bareness Of 2024- My Journey
Life in its brevity often feels burdensome, yearning for us to be free of all the turbulence that stirs up its breaths in our hearts.
