Embarrassment

Unsent, Unforgotten
We all have sentences inside us that were never spoken. Words that sat at the edge of our lips, waiting for courage, waiting for the right time—a time that never came. For me, those words weren’t just sentences. They were an entire letter.

Secret Letter. Content Warning.
The fluorescent lights are too bright and they're humming secrets I can't quite catch. My feet are moving before my brain catches up—through the automatic doors, past the reception desk where the woman is staring (she knows something), into the parking lot where the air tastes like metal and fear.

I am a 32-year-old man, and for more than a decade I carried a heavy secret that affected almost every part of my life: excessive underarm sweating.

Spicy Burrito Bowl
On paper, it was nothing unusual: an al pastor burrito bowl, warm with roasted pork, peppers, rice, and spice. But in the moment, it became something far more than dinner. It became a mirror. A container for the feelings I hadn’t yet named and the questions I was almost afraid to ask.

10 Things I Learned From Facing Deep Emotional Pain
I write this because my own emotional pain reshaped my life and changed how I make choices today. At first, the hurt felt like a storm that stole my sleep and clouded my thoughts. I traced the triggers—loss, rejection, long stress—and watched how those challenges hit my energy and focus.

My Most Awkward First Date Ever
First dates are supposed to be magical, right? You get dressed up, put on your best smile, and hope sparks fly. Mine, however, turned into the kind of night you only talk about when you’re trying to make people laugh—or when enough time has passed for you to stop cringing at the memory.

Beneath the Old Oak Tree
The farmhouse smelled the same. Dust, wood, and faint traces of the lavender soap our mother used to keep by the sink. It had been five years since I last walked through the creaky front door, and even then, it was only for the funeral.

The Letter I Never Sent
I found it tucked between the yellowed pages of an old notebook—the letter I had written but never sent. Its paper had grown brittle with time, the ink slightly smudged from the tears I once shed over it. My handwriting was younger then, rounder and less steady.

The Weight of a Confession
I used to believe that silence was safer than honesty. That if I kept my truths buried, life would continue in its smooth, predictable rhythm. But what I didn’t know was that silence can be louder than words—it echoes inside you, rattling until you can’t breathe.

World War 3: Life in the Aftermath
World War 3: Life in the Aftermath The idea of a third world war is often spoken of in terms of nuclear strikes, battlefield strategies, and clashing superpowers. Yet the most haunting question is not how such a conflict might begin, but how people would live once the first waves of destruction had passed. What happens to the survivors when the smoke clears? The true story of World War 3 would not end with armies, but with ordinary people struggling to rebuild a broken world.

The Day My Phone Died — And I Actually Lived
I didn’t realize how much my phone was a lifeline until it gave up on me. It was a random Tuesday morning. I rolled out of bed, half awake, reached for my phone, and pressed the power button. Nothing. I plugged it in, tapped the screen, shook it a little like a stubborn remote. Still nothing. My phone was dead.

When the Algorithm Knows You Better Than You Do
I didn’t plan to spend the night with an algorithm. Honestly, I just wanted background noise while I tried to convince myself to finish a job application I’d been putting off. But when I opened my music app, it showed me a new feature: “Hyper-Personalized Playlist: Just for You, Tonight.”
