The Power of Positive Thinking
How are you doing? How is life treating you at the moment? Life doesn't need to crash completely for you to feel "down on your luck." A failed promotion, or work project that didn't go as planned, or a missed opportunity can set you back months.

Why Silence Triggers Anxiety
Silence is often sold to us as peace. Retreat brochures promise it. Meditation apps pursue it. Spiritual traditions revere it. And yet, for many people, silence does not arrive gently. It presses. It unsettles. It tightens the chest and sharpens the breath. In the absence of sound, anxiety doesn’t fade—it steps forward.

“Psychology of the Human Soul: Why We Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do” – Very humebatic, emotional, and deep
Introduction: The Mystery Within Us The human mind is one of the most powerful and mysterious creations in the world. Every thought we think, every emotion we feel, and every action we take begins inside our mind. Psychology is the science that helps us understand this inner world. It explains why we smile when we are happy, cry when we are hurt, and struggle when life becomes heavy.

Watch Out Wednesdays - 1/21/26 (Opinion)
From an international standpoint, we have two major things to watch out for. The first is the conflict over Greenland with a proposed US takeover by President Trump. The goal appears to be to take over the entire Western Hemisphere piece by piece. If you have teenage children, then you may unfortunately will have to send them to war if these conflicts continue.

Hey, how are you feeling today? Have you taken some time for yourself today? If you are a trauma survivor, the answer is probably not. As survivors, the last person we think about is ourselves because we have spent years being suppressed into believing that we don't exist, that we are nothing, and that we deserve nothing.

The Strange Comfort Of Slot Games You Can't Lose Money On. AI-Generated.
I never expected slot games with no real money involved to feel as calming as they did. At first, the idea almost felt hollow. What’s the point of spinning reels if there’s nothing real at stake? No risk, no reward in the traditional sense. It sounded like a watered-down version of something meant to be thrilling. But once I actually spent time with those games, that assumption slowly fell apart.

The Color We Learned to Fear
Black is a color that refuses to be neutral. It enters a room with history on its shoulders and silence in its wake. For some, it is elegant, powerful, and endlessly modern. For others, it is heavy—too heavy—with meanings they did not choose but inherited. The dislike of black is rarely about the color alone. It is about what black has been taught to represent, the emotions it awakens, and the stories people carry inside them.
