Mourning a Father Who Rejected Me Even in His Death
I find I can feel rejection in so many different scenarios — with friends or family members. I don’t mean to; it’s just an underlying sheet of my core. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t sit there and stew in it and sit cross-legged like a child. I take the time to talk myself through it and reknit the scene. I know where it’s born from. It always comes from my dad.

The Art of Becoming Unshakeable
Life rarely announces when it’s about to test you. One moment you’re moving forward confidently, and the next, something hits you from an angle you never expected. People tend to believe strength comes from being naturally tough, but the truth works in a quieter and far more interesting way: strength is built in layers, through choices you make every day, and through the tiny battles no one sees. Becoming unshakeable is not a personality trait — it’s a psychological skill set.

Pure Clairvoyance and the Power of Intuition
There are moments in life when logic simply doesn’t explain what we feel. I’ve always had that strange inner signal—quiet, persistent—long before I ever used the word “intuition.” I didn’t ask for it. It was just… there. Like a little vibration in the background, something I learned to pay attention to as the years went by.

The Narcissist Took My Lunch
No, but seriously. The stuff you're about to read was only supposed to take a few moments to jot down, but ended up taking my entire lunch break to put perfectly in words. Granted that circumstance, I knew the name was a clever and compelling choice for this writing.

Dialogues Across Time. AI-Generated.
I feel we are at the corner of something revolutionary and yet evolutionarily necessitated. Some psychologists acknowledge only the past century as a time for our field when it has been alive and well, but giving credit to the late Charles Darwin means first acknowledging the agencies that formed out of novel curiosity, which would eventually call the field home. Psychology evolves, sometimes quickly, but the questions at its core remain the same.

The Verge
The Verge by Theodore Homuth Elena had never been afraid of hard work. She had learned young that love and obligation often shared the same shelves. Her mother, a stubborn optimist, taught her that running their café was more than a business—it was a promise to the community, a gathering place woven out of warmth, music, and coffee.

Weight of Unspoken Things
Have you ever swallowed your truth so many times that silence begins to feel safer than honesty? What's your why? For a long time, expressing myself felt like stepping into dangerous territory. Territory guarded by expectations, traditions, and unspoken rules I never agreed to but still inherited.

Why Questioning God
An Age-Old Controversial Topic: Why is Questioning God So Often Viewed as a Bad Thing? There is this belief that seems to span worldwide, that questioning faith is negative, and even sinful – depending on the faith you subscribe to. This is deeply rooted in the concept of absolute trust and the structural foundations of many traditional religions.

Psychology Says If You Bring Up These 9 Topics in a Conversation, You Have Below-Average Social Skills. AI-Generated.
Conversations are powerful. They help us connect, build trust, and understand each other. But sometimes, without realizing it, we bring up topics that make others uncomfortable, bored, or even irritated. According to psychologists, certain subjects are strong indicators of below-average social awareness—not because the topics themselves are “bad,” but because of how and when they’re used.

Leave Your Past Behind
Once upon a time, there was a bird in the forest. This bird was very kind and beautiful. But for a while, it started doing something strange. Every day, whatever it saw, heard or felt, good or bad, it would write down on small stones. Then it would store them in a small bag and fly away. Whether the memory was happy or sad, the bird believed that every moment was worth remembering. It became a habit and even found pleasure in it. It believed that beautiful memories should be preserved forever because such moments may never come back. Even bad experiences were meant to teach it something, so they should be written down too. First of all, it was pleasant for the bird. Every day he would write his experiences on the stones and fill the bag. But as time passed, this habit became stronger. The bag was filled with new stones every day. As a result, it became difficult for the bird to fly. Still, he still believed that all these memories would come in handy one day. That little bag became a treasure for his life. But as time passed, the bag became heavier. The more stones he put in, the heavier it became and it gradually began to affect the bird's wings. Now he could no longer fly as fast or high as before. One day on the way, the bird met a wise old owl. "Little bird," the owl asked, "why did you carry this bag?" The bird smiled and replied, "This bag contains everything in my life, all its joys and sorrows, every lesson from my past." The owl bowed its head and said, "So are you alive in the present? Or are you flying with the weight of yesterday's memories?" The bird did not understand. It flew away. But this time, the flight felt heavier and more painful. Weeks passed. Now the bag was full. The bird could barely lift it off the ground. Its wings ached. It had no strength left. Still, it dragged the bag with it as it walked. One rainy day, as the bird tried to move forward, it slipped. The weight of the stones crushed its fragile body. It lay still, buried under the memories that it once considered the key to its survival. But now those memories had destroyed it. When the rain stopped, some birds flew away. But the little bird had already flown away. Before long, the owl arrived. It looked at the silent bird with sadness in its eyes and whispered, "Memories are there to guide us, not to burden us." This short story teaches us a powerful lesson. Good or bad, memories should be left in the past. We should learn to let go and move on. We should not keep everything with us. We often do that. We collect every little memory, good or bad. But if we carry the burden of the past every day, eventually we will get tired inside. We fail to enjoy the present and cannot move forward into the future. Like birds, many people cling to the pain or even the joys of the past for too long. But life is all about letting go. We cannot get back what we have lost. But we can make our day beautiful. So let go of the past, good or bad, and learn to live in the present. Because we cannot change tomorrow, but we can shape today. Try new experiences, do something new, and create something meaningful in our life. Forgive, forget, move on, feel something new, take new steps, and be at peace.
