You See From Where You Stand
"The room remains full whether you can see it or not." One of the most persistent misunderstandings about perception is the assumption that seeing is the same as knowing. People often believe that if something feels clear, it must be complete, and if something feels obscure, it must be absent. But awareness does not work that way. What you perceive at any moment is not a measure of what exists. It is a measure of what your current position allows to pass through.

How I Sleep Peacefully Now
Three in the morning used to be my breaking point. That's when I'd wake up, heart pounding, mind racing, staring at the ceiling while the world slept peacefully around me. I'd grab my phone and watch the minutes crawl by—3:17, 3:34, 3:52—knowing that the alarm would go off in a few hours and I'd face another day exhausted.
