Everyday starts off like an ordinary day until it isnt. That’s probably how most things happen. Nobody wakes up Tuesday morning expecting Tuesday to become the reason they start looking at plane tickets by lunch. The coffee tastes the same. The computer turns on. The same people need the same things they needed yesterday, except…

Somewhere along the way, we started speaking to the voice in the head in the third person. Not because we lost our mind. Quite the opposite. It happened because one morning, while standing in front of the bathroom mirror brushing our teeth, the voice started talking again. You know the one. The running commentary. The…

There has always been something fascinating to me about the way the world talks about women. For thousands of years, people have argued about where women came from. Whose they belonged to. What their role should be. What they should wear. How they should behave. How much space they should take up. How loud they…

Not cute chaos. Not “oops I forgot my keys” chaos. I’m talking full-blown, juggling flaming swords while blindfolded and calling it a personality…

There are two people in this story. One is living their life. The other is watching it like it’s a full-time job they don’t get paid for. They don’t talk.They don’t interact.There’s no connection, no conversation, no invitation. Just observation. One minding their business…and the other minding that business like it belongs to them. Now…

Let me paint this properly. Not the polished version. The real one. It’s mid-morning at one of those cafés where people pretend they like black coffee because it sounds disciplined. Soft music. Laptops open. Everyone performing productivity like it’s a personality trait. And then there’s him. Sitting at a corner table like he didn’t get…

There are days when you just want to switch it all off. Not your life… just the noise. Put yourself on autopilot and let the world spin without your hands on the wheel for a minute. Let it happen how it’s going to happen. No forcing. No fixing. No overthinking every little move like it’s…
