RE: Assing for It
The algorithm is very crazy. I could remember when a music was released and I didn't enjoy listening to it, but as they kept promoting it constantly on social media I subconsciously started to listen to

RE: The World is yet to See
Sometimes the cause of this kind of feeling is the endless competition that is going on through our minds. We love to measure our self worth and value base on the people around us and what they are doing.

RE: Epiphanous Perspective
This look like someone standing with one foot in reality while watching others stepping away from it.When we talk about what actually matters is uncomfortable, and maybe that’s why so many avoid it. Biting

RE: Drops of Appreciation
You talked about relevance. That part really stood out to me. Feeling needed by the people closest to us is powerful. When that disappears, people look for validation elsewhere. Maybe the breakdown isn’t

RE: To The Dogs
This really captures how life doesn’t reset just because the calendar does. I like the honesty here, no fake optimism, just showing up and doing the work anyway. You talked about writing being a way to

RE: Happy to See You Go
That line about smiling while skating really stayed with me. Pain can steal joy quietly over time, and when it becomes less its grip even a little, it feels like getting part of yourself back. I’m genuinely

RE: More Engaging Alone
I like the way you framed choice as both a benefit and a trap. When there’s always a shortcut, growth begins to slow down. Taking small steps like having to “find the words” instead of translating through

RE: Do the Maths
This post made me reflect on how often we treat symptoms and call it progress. Outrage, blame,they all feel productive, but they don’t change the source of the problem. Working backwards takes humility

RE: Nothing to Give
The idea that humanity is consistently getting worse is harsh, but I can see what you mean. Technology is amazing, yet it doesn’t teach us compassion or patience. Maybe the real progress we need isn’t

RE: Puppy Steps
Anyone who’s had a puppy knows the bite-y phase is real 😅 Removing yourself instead of reacting is such a hard but smart lesson. That is a big win on sleeping through the night too, that alone feels like

RE: Unawakened Thoughts
On consuming vs thinking The point about consuming a lot but thinking very little is powerful. We scroll, watch, listen all day, but rarely challenge our minds in a meaningful way. Then we wonder why we

RE: Saving it for Later
You explained something I struggle with perfectly, choosing what’s easiest and calling it self-care. Sitting on the couch feels like recovery, but most of the time it just makes me slower, heavier, and

RE: Tied with a Bow
This post feels honest in a way most Christmas stories are not. We put so much energy into strangers online and forget the people who actually know us. Family is imperfect, awkward, sometimes boring, but

RE: Nothing but a Number
The part you talked about tradition becoming a cage instead of a guide is powerful. What once helped people survive can later stop them from growing. Holding on too tightly doesn’t protect identity, it

RE: Gold Cage Losers
This feels like a warning more than an accusation. Moral decline doesn’t happen in one big decision; it happens in small discounts on values. A little excuse here, a little entitlement there, until the

RE: Through One Ear
The cultural difference you mentioned is interesting. It shows how something so small can carry very different meanings depending on where you’re from. I like that you didn’t push an age as “right” or

RE: Average Weight Times
The part about parents not being allowed to hit their kids but being allowed to feed them harmful food… that one shook me. It’s uncomfortable, but it’s true. Not all harm is loud or immediate. Sometimes

RE: Independently Entertained
I relate a lot to what you said about childhood. We didn’t think about the “cost” of entertainment because it barely had any. And at the same time, it made us better, stronger, more creative, more confident.

RE: Forever in Solitary
This post made me think about how much time I spend online thinking I’m “socialising,” when in reality it’s just scrolling through highlights of people I don’t even know. It’s crazy how we can be surrounded
