No More Auditions

No More Auditions

I thought if I was perfect enough, gentle enough, successful enough, love would settle in and stay this time. But the rules kept changing, and every approval I earned dissolved into silence a moment later. Then something broke, not in anger, but in clarity. I stopped...

When Fair And Right Do Not Match

When Fair And Right Do Not Match

Fair and right are easy words to say when we are not the ones on the stand. Watching Haq on Netflix, what hits hardest is not just the story, but the way “justice” keeps shifting depending on who has the power to define it. A woman stands in a courtroom asking for...

Awakening From Fake Comfort

Awakening From Fake Comfort

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who do not believe in magic will never find it. The cost of waking up is not hustle culture or grinding harder. The...

Crosses Or Character?

Crosses Or Character?

They wear the cross so loudly you can hear it before they speak. They lean on God-talk like a crutch, selling “wisdom,” selling “healing,” selling the performance of holiness while the receipts of their real lives tell another story entirely. This is the age of the...

The Illusion of “Normal”

The Illusion of “Normal”

We live in a world that often rewards polish over truth. The poised, composed, “normal” person is celebrated, the one who never fumbles, never cracks, always seems to have it together. But when you look closer and really see, you realize something: perfection is a...

Pattern-Recognition as a Superpower

Pattern-Recognition as a Superpower

Pattern-recognition is a burden until it isn’t. For people who see patterns quickly and feel the temperature change in a room before anyone names it, this isn’t a quirk, it is a survival system that never fully shuts off. You notice the shift in tone, the missing...

When the Mask Slips

When the Mask Slips

When someone silences you, that moment is data. Not just that they did it, but how they did it, when they did it, and what you were saying right before they shut it down. People who are authentic tend to stay in the conversation even when it is uncomfortable, because...
