Childhood

“I Didn’t Realize I Was Losing Myself Until It Was Too Late
I Didn’t Realize I Was Losing Myself Until It Was Too Late BY: Khan I used to believe that losing yourself was a dramatic event—something loud, obvious, impossible to miss. I thought it happened in a single moment, like a crack in a mirror. But the truth is quieter. Sometimes you don’t notice it happening at all. Sometimes it feels like nothing. Just small choices, tiny compromises, little silences… until one day you wake up and the person staring back at you isn’t you anymore.

My Best Friend Vanished for 12 Years — Then Returned With a Story No One Believed
Twelve years is a long time to carry silence inside your chest. Long enough for memories to blur, long enough for hope to become a habit instead of a belief. That’s what happened to me after Ahmed—my best friend since childhood—vanished without a trace one warm summer afternoon.

The Phone Call That Wasn’t Meant for Me — But Changed Everything. AI-Generated.
The call came at 12:07 a.m. I wasn’t expecting anyone, and honestly, I almost didn’t answer. My phone had been silent for hours, and sleep was already pulling me under. But something about seeing an unknown number at that hour made me curious.

The Lesson I Learned Too Late
✨ The Lesson I Learned Too Late How One Mistake Taught Me Everything I Needed to Know Too Late --- BY: Ubaid I used to believe that time was elastic — that it stretched as far as I needed and waited patiently for me to grow up, to say the right things, to make the right decisions. I lived like tomorrow was guaranteed, like apologies could always be made later, and like life had the patience to entertain my stubbornness.

The Secret I Carried for Years
The Secret I Carried for Years BY: Khan The secret began as something small—so small that I convinced myself it didn’t matter. But secrets grow. They twist themselves around your thoughts, tangling everything until you cannot separate the truth from the fear of being found out. Mine stayed with me for years, tied to every decision I made and every person I let close. I thought I could outrun it. I thought silence would protect everyone, including myself. I was wrong.

The Day I Finally Chose Myself: A Story About Healing, Boundaries, and Quiet Courage. AI-Generated.
I didn’t realize how long I had been gone until I opened my Vocal account again. The notification bell was silent. My dashboard looked like a room I once lived in but hadn’t visited in months — familiar, but covered in the dust of forgotten routines.

The Last Letter of a Silent Night
The night had grown still. The room was dim, lit only by a weak bulb hanging in the corner. I sat on the bed with my phone in my hand, scrolling without purpose. My mind was heavy, and sleep felt far away. Suddenly, the screen lit up with a new message.

What Happened When I Finally Stood Up for Myself
What Happened When I Finally Stood Up for Myself BY: Ubaid For most of my life, I convinced myself that being quiet was the safest option. I told myself that peace was more important than pride, that swallowing my words made me “easy to deal with,” and that avoiding conflict meant avoiding pain. But the truth is, silence can become its own kind of prison. It starts small—letting someone talk over you, laughing off insults, agreeing when every part of you wants to say no. And then one day you wake up realizing that the version of you inside your head is nothing like the version the world sees.

A Choice I Never Thought I’d Have to Make
A Choice I Never Thought I’d Have to Make BY: Khan I always believed life moved in a straight line. You study, you work, you earn, you build something that feels like stability. That’s what I thought adulthood was. But life has a strange way of revealing its real syllabus only when you least expect it. My real lesson came the day I had to make a choice I never imagined would be placed in my hands.

The surprising trend of converting to Islam around the world: Why people are choosing Islam.
The Turning of Hearts When the sun dipped behind the city skyline, the hum of evening traffic softened, and the mosque courtyard glowed beneath amber lights. Maya stood at the gate, fingers tightened around the strap of her backpack. She wasn’t sure why she’d come back—only that something in her life had been shifting, like pieces rearranging quietly in the background.

The Civilians Who Wouldn’t Leave
A Human Story in the Middle of War The world had changed in a single night. What was once a quiet border village—full of wheat fields, tea stalls, evening laughter, and the rhythm of normal life—was now trapped between two armies exchanging fire. The war had arrived without permission, and the first sound that greeted the sunrise was not the azaan, but a distant boom that shook the earth beneath their feet.
