Writing Feels Like Therapy
There is a peculiar solace in the act of writing—a quiet alchemy that transforms the chaos inside us into something tangible, something we can examine without fear. Life often presses upon us with an unrelenting weight, and emotions can become suffocating, swirling inside the mind like storms we cannot control. In these moments, words offer an escape, a lifeline, and sometimes even a revelation. They allow us to speak to ourselves in ways that silence never permits, to untangle the thoughts that seem too heavy to carry alone.

The Day My Writing Practice Took a Slight Detour
I feel fortunate in life to live just a couple of blocks up from the beach. The beach is my happy place. Some days, and even more so when the weather is beautiful, I will push myself to take a slow walk down and sit and practise some of my writing exercises. And when I say: push myself, I’m embarrassed this may come across as taking where I live for granted or even laziness. But truthfully, it’s more about my procrastination.

The Butterfly Effect: More Real Than It Seems
The butterfly effect is a fascinating topic that I would like to discuss this time, as it is quite different from others. Its existence raises questions and proposes an intriguing idea that has been studied by many people from unique and diverse perspectives. It has led me to reflect on whether things—what we see—exist simply by chance, or whether they depend on something entirely different or external.

Copywriter Meaning, Responsibilities, Skills & How to Become One in 2026
In 2026, the word copywriter carries more weight than ever before. What once referred mainly to someone who wrote advertisements has evolved into a profession that sits at the center of business growth, digital influence, and brand trust. In a world saturated with content, copywriters are no longer just writers; they are strategic communicators who shape how people think, feel, and act.

Silent Struggle
No one noticed the moment his life began to feel heavy. There was no single disaster, no dramatic fall. Everything happened slowly—quietly—like dust settling on furniture no one cared to clean. From the outside, his life looked normal. He woke up, went to work, smiled when needed, and returned home exhausted. But inside, a silent struggle was growing every single day. His name was Hamza. Hamza used to believe effort was always rewarded. As a child, he was told that if you worked hard, life would eventually open its doors for you. For a long time, he held onto that belief. He studied late into the night, sacrificed weekends, and stayed disciplined when others took shortcuts. But as years passed, reality felt cruelly different. People with less effort moved ahead. Opportunities passed him by. Promises turned into excuses. At work, Hamza was dependable—but invisible. When projects succeeded, others were praised. When mistakes happened, eyes quietly turned toward him. He never complained. He didn’t want to be seen as weak or ungrateful. Instead, he stayed silent. That silence slowly became his habit. At home, expectations followed him like a shadow. Everyone assumed he was “doing fine” because he never spoke about his struggles. Friends stopped asking how he was. Conversations became shallow. No one knew how many nights he lay awake staring at the ceiling, wondering if something was wrong with him. The hardest part wasn’t failure. It was feeling unseen. One night, after another exhausting day, Hamza sat alone in his room. The city outside was loud, full of people chasing dreams, celebrating small wins, living loudly. Inside his room, everything felt still. He picked up his phone and scrolled through social media. Success stories. Smiling faces. Motivational quotes. Each post felt like a reminder of how far behind he was. His chest tightened. A thought crept into his mind—soft, dangerous, and persistent. “Maybe I’m not meant for more.” That thought scared him. Not because it hurt—but because it felt believable. For the first time, Hamza considered giving up. Not dramatically. Not by quitting everything. Just… stopping the effort. Doing the bare minimum. Accepting an ordinary life without expectations. No one would notice anyway. But something held him back. It wasn’t hope. It wasn’t motivation. It was stubbornness. A quiet refusal to completely let go. The next morning, nothing changed externally. The same routine. The same people. The same silence. But inside Hamza made a small decision: “I’ll keep going—even if nothing changes.” He stopped waiting for encouragement. He stopped seeking validation. He focused only on improving himself, one small step at a time. He learned after work when others relaxed. He practiced skills no one asked him to learn. He failed quietly and corrected himself without announcing it. Some days, he felt strong. Most days, he felt tired. But he showed up anyway. Weeks turned into months. There were still no rewards. No applause. No sudden success. But something subtle was happening—something Hamza didn’t notice at first. He was becoming resilient. Things that once broke his confidence no longer shook him as much. Rejection still hurt, but it didn’t stop him. Criticism no longer crushed him; it taught him. Silence, once painful, became his training ground. One evening, a major issue arose at his workplace. A complicated problem that others avoided because failure would be visible. Managers were tense. Deadlines were tight. Blame was already being prepared. Hamza didn’t speak up immediately. He simply started working. He stayed late. He researched. He tested ideas. He made mistakes and fixed them. There were moments he doubted himself. Moments when fear whispered, “You’re not good enough for this.” But he answered back with action. Days later, the problem was solved—not perfectly, but effectively. This time, people noticed. Not with applause. Not with excitement. But with curiosity. “Who handled this?” “When did he learn that?” “Why didn’t we see this before?” Hamza didn’t feel proud in the way he expected. Instead, he felt calm. Grounded. Secure in a way that didn’t depend on others. When his manager finally called him in and acknowledged his work, Hamza thanked him politely. But inside, he knew the truth: This moment wasn’t built overnight. It was built during silent nights. Unseen effort. Unrecognized discipline. Life hadn’t ignored him. Life had been watching. Testing whether he would keep going without praise. Years later, Hamza looked back at the version of himself who almost quit. The man who felt invisible. The man who believed silence meant failure. He wished he could tell him one thing: “Your struggle wasn’t wasted. It was shaping you.” Not everyone’s journey is loud. Not every victory is celebrated. Some people are built quietly—strong enough to stand when others fall. If you are struggling silently today, know this: You are not behind. You are not invisible. You are not weak. You are being prepared. And one day, without warning, life will notice. Final Line (Powerful Ending): The strongest people are often the ones no one sees fighting—but they keep going anyway.
