The Loud Minority and the Manufactured Narrative
When President Trump appeared at the Washington Commanders versus Detroit Lions game, the media wasted no time turning it into a national spectacle. Headlines shouted that America had booed its own president, declaring it proof that the country was ashamed of its leader. Clips of jeering crowds were shared endlessly, accompanied by commentary claiming that even America’s favorite sport had rejected him.

Do you know your Breaking Point?
Have you ever heard of the phrase "Second opinion" in regards to medical advice? It occurred often when a professional medical advisor stated something unbelievable or unwanted. That may seem odd to you, but what is even more surprising, is that many have sought a "second opinion" in such matters, and found what they were looking for. Your BMI alerts one trained professional to tell you that you are obese, while only 20 pounds overweight. Yet another doctor who had previously been a Sumu wrestler says you are perfectly healthy. Sometimes a second opinion is the way to go.

The Empty Side of the Bed
The Empty Side of the Bed It’s been one hundred and thirty-seven nights since you left, Amir. I know because I’ve written to you every single one. I still can’t stop counting—days, nights, breaths—everything feels like a measurement of the time I’ve spent learning to exist without you.

Inattentional Blindness
Kristen was an eight-year-old child. He was sitting on a park bench, sad. There was worry, fear and depression on his face. It was evening walk time. The park was full of people. People used to come near him, look at him and quietly move on. A couple also passed by. The couple saw that there were posters about the child in the park. The woman passed near the child. She looked at him carefully. She went ahead and stopped near the poster stuck on the tree. The poster had written in bold letters that this child is missing. Below it, the child's age, height, weight, facial color and name were written and also a photo. The woman read the poster carefully. She came to the child again. She also looked at him carefully and when she was sure that it was the same child, she shrugged her shoulders and moved on. She also did not try to contact the phone number written on the poster. The child sat on the bench for two hours but no one paid attention to him or called the number written on the poster. Did the park even become deserted?

When the Chaos Stops: What Healing Really Feels Like
This is what healing feels like once the chaos stops. It’s not fireworks or victory parades. It’s the quiet after a battle — a silence that hums in your bones, leaving you unsure whether to rest or run. After leaving an abuser, you begin to understand how much energy survival really took. You were living on adrenaline for months, maybe years, keeping yourself small and alert to every shift in mood, every potential storm. Now that the noise is gone, the body starts to shake loose all that it held.

Psychology of Overthinking and How It Hijacks Focus
It starts small. A single thought you should’ve let go of hours ago. But you don’t — you hold it, turn it over, try to understand it better. Then another thought shows up. Then ten more. Before you know it, it’s midnight, and you’re still in the same place, same circle, same noise.
