Routines Keep the Mood Clean. Content Warning.
Routines can help keep the mood clean—well, cleaner. I struggle with Bipolar Disorder, and if you do too, then welcome. This is a place to learn something and own it with a great attitude. I won’t lie—it’s hard. The highs, the lows, the mania-fueled spending sprees, and the drawer full of half-baked hobbies. You know the one. Mine is packed with crochet equipment, resin art, an unopened puzzle, and a very expensive art set I bought during a spending spree. I call it my “Kate Middleton Drawer” so many hobbies all the while being a princess —except I look more like Adam Sandler when I’m doing any of those things. (Comfort > couture, every time.)

“The Man Who Spoke to Shadows”. AI-Generated.
Every night, when the city fell into sleep, Arman would talk to the shadows in his room. He couldn’t remember when it started — perhaps after his father’s death, or maybe the shadow had always been there, patient and quiet, waiting for the right silence to speak.

The Narcissist’s Glitch
Could it be that narcissists do feel empathy — but misinterpret it as manipulation? Maybe that flicker of awareness, that moment when they sense another human’s inner world, doesn’t feel like connection to them. Maybe it feels like danger. Like losing control. Like death.

1. The Seduction of “Openness” Many narcissistic men weaponize what looks like sexual liberation. They use words like kink‑friendly, sex‑positive, or open‑minded — but what they really mean is: boundaries don’t apply to me.

The Weight of Labels
I did not get angry because I was attacked. I got angry because I felt invisible. That is what labeling does. It reduces a human being—a soul with thoughts, experiences, and convictions—into a set of categories that can be dismissed before they even speak.

Stupid, stupid love?. Content Warning.
Inside the crackling fire, pictures of our past burned as though a vengeful spirit was blowing over it. The chilly harmattan dawn did nothing to quell it‘s hunger. Up with the rising smoke, I prayed vehemently - that memories of you would be gone with it.

How Women Manipulate Through Silence
Silence can speak louder than words and sometimes, it’s used as a tool of control. While both men and women use silence to protect themselves or communicate indirectly, women often employ it as a form of emotional strategy. It’s not always intentional or malicious; sometimes, it’s a defense mechanism. But in other cases, silence becomes a subtle form of manipulation designed to shift emotional power, trigger guilt, or make someone chase for attention or validation.
