Dear Me: I’m Proud of You Even on the Days You Can’t Be. AI-Generated.
There are days when your reflection feels like a stranger. Days when getting out of bed feels like an Olympic feat. When you go through the motions, smile when you’re supposed to, nod through conversations, and hold it all in so tightly you forget what it’s like to exhale.

The Silent Seasons of My Life: When I Disappeared to Find Myself. AI-Generated.
Not all disappearances are tragic. Some are sacred. Chosen. Quiet rebellions against noise, burnout, and a world that demands constant presence. I’ve lived through many seasons—but the ones that shaped me the most were the ones no one saw. The ones where I slipped away from the spotlight, from people, from everything I once thought defined me.

Unspoken Goodbyes: The People I Still Carry With Me. AI-Generated.
Not every goodbye comes with closure. Some happen in the middle of a conversation. Some after a slow drifting apart. And some—well, some are never said at all. Just sudden silences where voices used to be, laughter that lives only in memory.

The Moment the World Didn't End. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
It happened at 2:17 a.m. That’s when I realized the world wasn’t going to end—no matter how much I wanted it to. He had just left. Not in a cinematic, door-slamming, sobbing-through-the-hallway kind of way. No, it was worse than that. He left in silence. Quiet as a whisper. Quiet as death. Just a fading warmth where he’d once sat on my bed and told me, “I’ll never leave unless you ask me to.”

When My World Paused for a Stranger - Austin Shivaji Kumar
I remember the exact platform. Dadar station. The financial and chaos capital of Mumbai. The kind of place where the air feels thick with movement, where a thousand footsteps stomp through your silence. You don’t get a second to think. Or feel.

The Forgotten Language of Touch: How Physical Contact Shapes Our Emotional Well-being
In a world dominated by screens and digital expressions, we have learned to communicate through messages, emojis, and reactions. We connect in online meetings, express love with virtual hearts, and offer condolences through comment sections. Yet, in our reliance on words and technology, we’ve drifted away from one of the oldest and most profound forms of communication—physical touch.

The Invisible Weight: Living with the Emotional Baggage We Don’t Talk About
The Backpack No One Sees When my friend Julia died suddenly in a car accident, her husband, Mark, showed up to her funeral wearing a crisp suit and a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. He shook hands, accepted casseroles, and thanked everyone for their support. Two years later, at a dinner party, he casually mentioned he still sets a place for her at the table. The room fell silent. No one knew what to say—not because they didn’t care, but because grief, like so much of our emotional baggage, lives in the shadows.

How Small Acts of Kindness Changed My Perspective on the World
The Day a Stranger’s Umbrella Taught Me About Humanity It was a gray, drizzly afternoon in Kyoto when I first grasped the quiet power of kindness. I stood outside a train station, drenched and frustrated, silently berating myself for forgetting my umbrella. Out of nowhere, a woman in her sixties—her silver hair peeking beneath a sunhat despite the rain—paused beside me. Without speaking, she opened her bright red umbrella and held it over both of us. We walked in silence for two blocks until she nodded toward my destination: a tucked-away tea shop. When I thanked her, she smiled and said, “The rain feels lighter when shared.” Her words lingered long after the clouds parted.
