I Tried Living Like It Was 2010 Again — And It Quietly Broke Me
Nostalgia is sneaky. It doesn’t just show you the past; it edits it for you. It cuts out the awkward silences, the cheap shampoo, the bad phone cameras, and leaves you with sunsets, inside jokes, and a version of yourself who always seemed a little lighter.

I Was Productive Successful and Quietly Miserable
I built a life that looked finished before it was ever lived. My days were stacked with achievements like trophies placed carefully on a shelf. I woke early not because I wanted to but because discipline had replaced desire. I answered emails before sunrise and told myself this was ambition. I measured my worth in deadlines met and tasks completed. I was productive in ways that impressed everyone except me.

The Emotional Echo: How Micro-Rejections Shape Our Inner World. AI-Generated.
Most people understand the sting of major rejection. A breakup, a job denial, a falling-out with a friend—these events leave marks that are easy to recognize. But psychology has begun paying increasing attention to something far quieter: micro-rejections. These are small, often fleeting moments of social dismissal that many of us overlook or brush aside. A text left unanswered, a slightly cold tone from someone we care about, a subtle exclusion from a group conversation, a joke that doesn’t land the way we hoped—it’s easy to dismiss these experiences as trivial. Yet they leave emotional echoes that can meaningfully influence our behavior, self-perception, and overall psychological health.

The Hidden Costs of Hustling. Top Story - December 2025.
People do not need to be reminded of the murky, colourless and dull picture of what burnout resembles, of either 'taking on too much' or 'hustling too hard.' I truly get it. Burnout is real for both entrepreneurs and employees alike; and when we push our bodies to the brink - aches and pains, and perhaps a few viral infections and mental exhaustion (only to name) come knocking on your domain. And these pesky guests do not give two hoots as to whether or not they are invited to the party - let alone into your own personal space. Life is expensive, and it is only becoming more commonplace and familiar. It is important to put in the effort, yet that effort needs to be inspired. It does not matter what line of work you engage in, provided you are in the flow. The healing starts with you in getting to the bottom of your trauma and inner child. Doing the inner work.

The Quiet Power of Liminal Spaces: How Threshold Moments Shape the Psyche. AI-Generated.
Liminal spaces—moments, states, or environments where we stand between what was and what will be—have long fascinated psychologists, anthropologists, and storytellers alike. They occupy the hazy middle ground between known and unknown, certainty and ambiguity, identity and transformation. In the realm of psychology, liminality falls under the broader category of existential and developmental psychology, but it is a striking subcategory in its own right, touching on identity formation, emotional resilience, and the way we process change throughout our lives.

The Art of Becoming Unshakeable
Life rarely announces when it’s about to test you. One moment you’re moving forward confidently, and the next, something hits you from an angle you never expected. People tend to believe strength comes from being naturally tough, but the truth works in a quieter and far more interesting way: strength is built in layers, through choices you make every day, and through the tiny battles no one sees. Becoming unshakeable is not a personality trait — it’s a psychological skill set.
