The Narcissist’s Mask: When Misogyny Disguises Itself as Sexual Openness
1. The Seduction of “Openness” Many narcissistic men weaponize what looks like sexual liberation. They use words like kink‑friendly, sex‑positive, or open‑minded — but what they really mean is: boundaries don’t apply to me.

Am I a Narcissist?
In the age of pop psychology and armchair diagnosis, “narcissist” has become one of the most weaponized words in the human vocabulary. It’s used to silence, to shame, and to project. But what happens when a deeply self-aware person—especially a trauma survivor—starts to wonder if they are the problem?

The Light That Knows Its Way Home
I met Dr. Joseph Murphy one night between sleep and sunrise, in that trembling space where dream and eternity hold hands. The air was thick with moonlight, and the silence seemed to hum with the pulse of unseen wings. He stood before me, calm and luminous, his eyes shimmering like twin seas of remembrance. “Tony,” he said, his voice carrying both warmth and authority, “the Divine healing does not live outside of you, waiting to be found. It breathes within you, patient and eternal. You awaken it not by pleading, but by speaking to it as you would a beloved—gently, confidently, with the knowledge that it already hears you.” His words sank into me like warm oil into cold skin, seeping into the places I hadn’t realized were starved for light. When I woke, the room was awash in the blue-gray light of dawn, and his message echoed in my heart like a low bell: Talk to the Divine within you—it is listening.

Are You Dealing With Burnout?
Hey, how are you doing? How are your stress levels right now? I’ve been asked to write about “Burnout,” by several people and I listen to my readers. I have been thinking of writing about rising stress levels at work because I see it in my friends and even myself sometimes.

The Weight of Labels
I did not get angry because I was attacked. I got angry because I felt invisible. That is what labeling does. It reduces a human being—a soul with thoughts, experiences, and convictions—into a set of categories that can be dismissed before they even speak.

The Price of Going Viral
He wasn’t famous. He wasn’t rich. He was just ordinary. A regular young man named Rayen, sitting in a dimly lit room, scrolling through the endless ocean of viral videos — people dancing, crying, acting, and pretending — all for a few seconds of fame.

Mirror Neurons, Quantum Physics, and the Regenerative Power of the Human Body
Introduction For centuries, the human body was seen as a biomechanical machine—a system of organs and tissues governed by chemistry and physiology. Healing was considered the domain of external interventions: drugs, surgery, or external agents. However, emerging interdisciplinary research now invites us to consider more subtle and interconnected dimensions of healing. At the crossroads of neuroscience and quantum physics lies a fascinating possibility: that the human body may possess regenerative capabilities far greater than previously assumed. This essay explores how mirror neurons, quantum physics, and regenerative biology interweave in the broader metaphysical concept of the body’s innate ability to heal itself.

Etsy Used to Be Magic. Now It’s a Failing Mall.
There was a time when Etsy felt like magic. It was the golden era of the handmade internet: the digital farmer’s market that honored the village markets of old, where artisans could finally make a living doing what they loved. Every listing felt personal. Every product had a story. You could scroll through the site or app, and find hundreds of items that were truly unique. It was once a space where the imagination was made tangible.

When Inclusion Means Assimilation: Why We’re Done Playing ‘Normal’
Inclusion shouldn’t mean erasure. But for many disabled people, that’s exactly what it feels like. We’re told to “blend in,” “mask,” “act normal.” We’re praised when we suppress our natural communication styles, sensory needs, or mobility tools. We’re rewarded for being palatable, not authentic.
