  • At least for now, I'm still here

    Honestly, I don't think I have the energy to keep going anymore. I don't even know why. Every motivation, every comforting word people give me somehow makes me feel worse. Instead of making me feel…

  • You were never using only ten percent of your brain

    The claim that we use only ten percent of our brain has never had a shred of evidence behind it. It spread anyway, because it promises you are secretly a genius running on idle.

  • CHAPTER 3: "KNOW YOUR WORTH"

    Typically, it's much easier to call out characteristics of others rather than our own characteristics, and though a sad reality, this issue is mostly disregarded and left in the dark. Our lives are…

  • Experimental post

    Isn't it funny that how the world always preaches about happiness and trying to achieve it. Yet, people who live happy lives are usually looked down upon as someone who's ungrateful about life…

  • A lie that flatters you never gets a background check

    There is believing something and there is wanting it to be true. They feel identical from the inside, and the only difference is that one is tracking reality and the other is tracking your convenience.

    it's getting worse day by day. it feels like every day i wake up with less energy than i had yesterday, like somehow, without me even realizing it, i'm slowly losing the strength to deal with things…

  • A horoscope feels accurate because it flatters you

    A horoscope gives you a small click of recognition, that is me, and it was written for several hundred million people at once. In 1948 a psychologist handed a class one identical generic paragraph and they rated it as a near-perfect description of themselves.

  • The doctors who would not wash their hands

    In 1847 a Vienna doctor cut childbed-fever deaths from around eighteen percent to near two by making physicians wash their hands. His colleagues ruined him, because agreeing meant admitting they had been carrying death on their own hands.

  • Rainy Days

    The drizzle started late in the afternoon and turned into a storm the moment she set dinner on the table. What shit weather, she thought. Fucking awful, getting in the way of her responsibilities…

  • We quietly decide the unlucky must have had it coming

    When you hear someone lost the house or got sick, the mind reaches for what they did wrong, often before you know any of the details. We believe the world is fair because the alternative is unbearable, not because it is true.

  • Every country keeps the flattering version of its past

    For about a century, Americans were taught the Civil War was not really about slavery. The men who started it said in writing at the time that it was. The flattering version survived because checking it cost something and believing it cost nothing.

  • How could you.

    How could you do that to a soul

  • 6 Seconds or 6 Hours

    Sex is underestimated by everyone. If it were really that good, nobody would ever leave the house. People like talking about sex more than actually having sex.

  • Stigmas of Pain

    We would rather feel than know what causes the feeling.

  • Freedom × Happiness × Greed

    I was watching videos on the internet, people talking about happiness on podcasts, saying that money brings happiness and that, if you're still not happy, maybe it's because you don't have a million…

  • The wall that existed in the mind..

    What if the biggest limit in your life isn't a wall… but a thought?
