For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.

The Moment You Wake Up to Your Own Life
Most people don’t choose their lives. They slide into them. Not because they’re careless. Not because they don’t care. But because drifting is easier than deciding. You follow routines that slowly form around you. You wake up. You check your phone. You go where you’re supposed to go. You do what’s expected. Days blur together, and before you realize it, years pass.

The Exhaustion of Becoming
There is a kind of tiredness that comes from growth itself. Not physical exhaustion. Not mental burnout from work. But the deeper fatigue that comes from constantly realizing you cannot stay who you used to be. You look at your life and feel the weight of everything that no longer fits. Old habits. Old relationships. Old dreams. Old versions of yourself that once made sense but now feel heavy.

Insecure People Try to Make Other People Insecure
Many insecure people cause other people to be insecure. How do they do this exactly? Insecure people can be very critical. Deep down inside, I think they feel the weight of their own insecurities, so they try to distract themselves by being critical of others. In a way, the spotlight is cast on others for just a little while, so that it eases the insecure person’s spinning anxieties.

Are you a weed or a pretty plant ?
one and a half years ago my now ex-boyfriend and I had a really intersting conversation. It was a conversation after or First hege fight and at that moment I felt completely lost .So in the middle of this fight and trying to figure out where we misunderstood each other he said : “ look you are like this weed “ while pointing at it . “ It doesn’t matter how the ground is. You still decide to grow there and you are ambitious to make things work. I am like the plant over there . My ground is good ans it doesn’t really matter what I do- some things are more easy for me even if I don‘t have a plan or a goal“.

The Obsolete Industry Dilemma
The Obsolete Industry Dilemma: What If the World Stopped Inertia-Production for One Year? Imagine not a technological breakthrough, not a green miracle, but a simple interruption. For one year, the world stops inertia-production: the endless manufacture of goods, services, movements, and institutions that persist not because they are needed, but because stopping them would expose how deeply human life has been reorganised around motion without purpose. This is not merely a pause in car production or construction or transport. It is a pause in the logic that turns people into components, societies into mechanisms, and the planet into an enormous clockwork Earth, rotating endlessly through repetition, habit, and systemic momentum.

Beige with approved phrases. AI-Generated.
The call center is painted in optimistic colors. Not bright enough to be cheerful, not soft enough to be calm. The walls are a kind of beige that suggests coffee with too much creamer. Someone chose it after a meeting, after a vote, after a PowerPoint about productivity and mood. The color is meant to make people steady. The color is meant to make people stay.

The Wound That Changes How You See People
Betrayal doesn’t always arrive loudly. Sometimes it doesn’t come with screaming, confrontation, or dramatic exits. Often, it shows up quietly. In a sentence that feels off. In a choice someone makes behind your back. In a truth you discover later that rewrites your entire understanding of a relationship. One moment you believe you’re standing on solid ground. The next, you realize the floor has been unstable the whole time.

Surrounded, Yet Empty
Loneliness is often misunderstood. People imagine it as physical isolation, like sitting alone in a dark room with no one to talk to. But the most painful form of loneliness doesn’t come from being alone. It comes from feeling unseen. You can be surrounded by people, have conversations every day, exchange jokes, attend gatherings, and still feel deeply disconnected.

The Quiet Habit That Reveals Our Disconnection
Food waste doesn’t usually look dramatic. It isn’t loud. It doesn’t come with sirens or headlines in everyday life. It happens quietly, in kitchens, restaurants, grocery stores, and trash bins. A half-eaten plate scraped into the garbage. A loaf of bread tossed because it’s slightly stale. Leftovers forgotten in the back of the fridge until they spoil. Small moments that feel insignificant.

The Life You Don’t Live Still Haunts You
There is a special kind of sadness that doesn’t come from what happened, but from what never did. It’s the quiet awareness that you could have become more. That you could have tried harder. That there was a version of you with bigger courage, sharper discipline, and deeper belief that never fully stepped into the light. This feeling doesn’t scream. It whispers. It shows up late at night, during long drives, or in moments of stillness when distractions fade.
