The Sound of My Name in Other People’s Mouths
The Sound of My Name in Other People’s Mouths by [Numan writes] There’s a way my mother says my name that folds time. It carries the softness of early mornings and warm milk, the scent of jasmine from her shawl, and the quiet weight of lullabies hummed rather than sung. In her mouth, my name is a prayer—gentle, deliberate, each syllable laced with a kind of trembling care, like she’s still afraid to break me.

Behind the Smile: The Hidden Faces of Suicide
Every 40 seconds, somewhere in the world, a life is lost to suicide. By the end of the year, that adds up to nearly 800,000 people. For every life taken, there are countless others who attempt it—some estimates say over 20 million attempts each year. These are not just numbers; they represent mothers and brothers, best friends and neighbors. They represent stories cut short, futures never lived, and ripples of grief that travel through families and communities.

I Was Surrounded by Men That Sexually Degraded Women. Content Warning.
There was something about him that gave me the ick. I was standing at his front door asking about the available spare room he had advertised, and even from that initial meeting, I had a strong sense he was imagining what I looked like underneath my clothes.

The Silent Thread: Following What Can’t Be Seen
1. The Quiet Mechanics of Being We often assume we understand our lives through logic and clarity. We believe our decisions stem from reason, our reactions from present-day events. Yet beneath the surface, deeper mechanisms are constantly at play. Thoughts shaped by long-forgotten moments, emotions inherited from childhood, even instincts passed down generationally—all subtly steering our direction.

I Was the Strong One Until It Broke Me
Introduction People often admire the strong one in the room—the person who always has answers, who never seems shaken, who offers comfort when everyone else is falling apart. I was that person. I wore strength like armor, smiling when I was tired, listening when I needed to be heard, giving when I had nothing left.

I Was the Strong One Until It Broke Me
For as long as I can remember, people have seen me as “the strong one.” The dependable friend. The sibling who always listens. The co-worker who steps up when things fall apart. I carried that title like a badge of honor, proud that others trusted me, proud that I could be the one who held everyone together.

Social Anxiety and the pain it inflicts. But also the victory when you overcome… . Top Story - September 2025. Content Warning.
I was certain that every encounter would lead to bullying. These strangers all had a plan, and they would turn their backs on me. I would be burnt like sienna if they rejected me. I would never leave the house again because of it, my body and mind would be like an open wound.

Chains of the Brothel: Part 7 Silent Walls
The Prison Disguised as a Home The place where Anita now lived was not a home. It was a forgotten prison pretending to be a sanctuary. The villagers called it the Old House, but its name was a cruel lie. It wasn’t a shelter for the elderly or a place of care. It was where society abandoned those it no longer wished to see—the “incurable,” the “dangerous,” the “inconvenient.”

The Loneliness of Hyperconnection. AI-Generated.
We live in a time of perpetual connection. A buzzing phone, a new message icon, a red notification badge—our days are punctuated by digital voices calling for our attention. We can reach anyone, anywhere, at any time. By all measures, humanity should feel more connected than at any point in history. And yet, an epidemic of loneliness shadows our era.
