The Beauty in your Details
Paintings are magical things really and though I have always loved art, I have developed a really deep and rich connection to it in the last few years, so I decided to use a close up photo of the oil paint strokes on a painting my late mom did for me some years ago to symbolically illustrate the point that - sometimes, you need to look a little closer to appreciate the beauty, and value of who and what it is that sits in right front of you, so that you are less likely to judge it.

Psychological Fear
Introduction: The Silent Puppeteer of Our Minds Fear is more than just a reaction to danger—it’s an invisible scriptwriter dictating our choices, relationships, and even our potential.

The Illusion of Infinite Funds: Why Credit Cards Make Us Feel Richer Than We Are You walk into a store “just to look.” A shirt catches your eye.

Behind the Smile: Unmasking Social Anxiety in a Performative World. AI-Generated.
Behind the Smile: Unmasking Social Anxiety in a Performative World There’s a certain kind of silence that screams louder than words. It’s the silence of a mind racing before a conversation starts. The hesitation before a phone call. The practiced smile that hides a pounding heart. In a world obsessed with extroversion and constant interaction, social anxiety is the invisible weight many carry — often alone.

Counselor in Training, Exploring Multicultural Development
Personal Background My family heritage is a mixture of Hungarian, English, and German. I was raised by a white, middle-class, single income, conservative, homeschool family with four siblings. My parents adhered to pretty typical male and female gender roles within the household. Meaning, my father tended to do more of the outdoor work and my mother tended to focus more on the indoor maintenance and household care. My father was the predominant breadwinner of the family and he was bi-vocational, meaning he worked full-time for the school system as an elementary guidance counselor and a part-time church planter for the southern Baptist association. All this being said, ever since childhood, there was a very strong religious emphasis on my day-to-day living. Being raised by practicing Christian parents, who, also, were involved in church- planting, or new church start-ups, meant actively reading the Bible daily and serving on Sundays for morning and evening services. In addition to Sunday services, participation in other Bible studies and meetings in the middle of the week were also expected as well. Being homeschooled from kindergarten through twelfth grade, included a school curriculum that had a strong Biblical emphasis.
