Micro Joys: The Tiny Moments That Are Quietly Saving Our Lives
Most days, we’re just trying to get through. We juggle to-do lists, unread messages, constant notifications, and the quiet (or not-so-quiet) pressure to be more—more successful, more productive, more present, more grateful. It’s easy to believe joy has to be earned or scheduled, like a vacation you save up for or a milestone you finally reach.

We live in an age of escalating psychological distress — where anxiety, depression, addiction, and social breakdown have become alarmingly normal. These symptoms, however, all stem from a much deeper, largely unspoken issue: the human condition.

Living on the Emotional Edge: Understanding Cyclothymic Disorder
Introduction Everyone experiences emotional ups and downs. A burst of excitement one day, a dip in motivation the next — it's part of being human. But for some, these fluctuations are more than just ordinary mood shifts; they form a persistent, confusing rhythm that quietly shapes their entire life. When your inner world feels like a never-ending ride between minor emotional highs and unexpected lows — without ever tipping fully into mania or deep depression — it might not just be personality. It might be Cyclothymic Disorder.

The Complexities of Co-Dependency
Have you ever met a person who couldn't do the simplest of tasks on their own? That person might even be you. There is always a deeper understanding of things like introverts, extroverts, the ego, etc., within society. The idea that someone doesn't like to be surrounded by noise isn't too uncommon. Just like the idea that an individual is their best drowning in a sea of people. Sometimes, you can struggle with an entirely different aspect of self. One that might even make you lose your own. Co-dependency.

"The Interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud: A Journey into the Unconscious Mind
"The Interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud: A Journey into the Unconscious Mind "The Interpretation of Dreams" is not just a book; it is the foundation of modern psychology and a journey into the mysterious world of the unconscious. First published in 1899, this book revolutionized our understanding of dreams. Dreams are no longer seen as random or meaningless images; instead, they are glimpses into our hidden desires, fears, and experiences. Freud's writing is a blend of science, philosophy, and personal discovery. This book explains how dreams are formed, their connection to the unconscious mind, and how they reveal hidden truths through symbols. Although it can be challenging, for those interested in understanding the human mind, it is a feast for the intellect.

The Psychology of Hoarding: Inside the Mind of Compulsive Accumulation
Introduction In today’s society, where minimalism and decluttering are often glorified, the reality of Hoarding Disorder stands in stark contrast — a condition that disrupts lives, endangers health, and challenges the boundaries of our understanding of mental illness. Far from being a lifestyle choice or mere disorganization, Hoarding Disorder is a serious psychological condition now formally recognized in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition (DSM-5). Despite its prevalence, the disorder remains largely misunderstood, stigmatized, and underdiagnosed.

Best
Measuring sticks are useful, but don't account for everything. Lately, I have been hearing people talk about being the best. The first, was an immigrant in the food industry, explaining how he wanted to come to the USA and prove he is the best chef. The second, was a teacher talking about teaching students to be their best. The third, was generic sayings about being your best self and being the best in the business. I couldn't help but think, what is this obsession with being the best.

The Age of Secondhand Emotions: How Social Media Has Turned Us Into Borrowers of Other People’s Feelings. AI-Generated.
There was a time when feelings were private. Grief happened behind closed doors, joy was shared over phone calls, and anger was reserved for real-world confrontations. Now, all of it is broadcast, looped, liked, and commented on. In the age of Instagram Reels and TikTok For You pages, feelings are no longer just felt—they are performed, consumed, and echoed. We are living in the age of secondhand emotions, where we experience feelings not through our own lives, but through the curated and choreographed lives of others.
