Where’s the Human Code?
We often hear about “girl code” or “boy code” — unspoken rules of loyalty or behavior within certain groups. But what about human code? Shouldn’t there be a universal understanding of what it means to truly be human? How do we navigate the contradictions of our...
Do I Miss the Old Me?
Sometimes, I think about the old version of myself—before healing, before awareness, before the discomfort of growth. There was a kind of bliss in ignorance, a simplicity in not knowing the weight of wounds or the complexities of the world. That innocence? I do miss...
The Path Ahead: Don’t Give Up

Grief, as Nikita Gill beautifully illustrates, is not a monolithic experience. It’s a journey of encountering Anger, Sadness, and eventually Healing. These “children of grief” invite us to feel deeply, each one bringing lessons as profound as they are painful. Anger...
