breakups

When it comes to breakups, pain is inevitable, but Humans thinks that suffering is optional.

The War of the Currents and the Man Who Lit the World. AI-Generated.
For most of human history, the night was a dominion of shadows. Fire—from a candle's weak flicker to a gas lamp's smoky glow—was the only defiance against the dark. It was dim, dangerous, and fleeting. Taming the night required not just a new kind of light, but a new kind of power.

When the Heart Learns to Breathe Again After Pain
Life changes in strange ways when hurt lingers in your chest. Days feel heavier, mornings feel quieter, and even the smallest memories can pull you back into moments you’d rather forget. Still, somewhere inside the ache, something begins to shift. You start noticing small signs that you are not the same person who first fell into that darkness. A new version of you is gently forming, even if you don’t see it at first. Growing after pain is rarely loud or sudden. It happens slowly, like a hesitant sunrise, warming the places that once felt frozen. This story explores how healing becomes real, how people rebuild themselves, and how new life begins from the places that once hurt the most.

Next Time Fix
When a simple "something came up" shatters your dinner plans, those with low emotional intelligence (EQ) get trapped in the repetitive courtesy of "Let’s do next time." But those with high EQ see this as a pivot point—an opportunity to transform awkwardness into a bridge that deepens the relationship.

The Keeper of My Broken Pieces. AI-Generated.
We throw the word "friend" around so easily. It describes the person we sit next to in class, the one whose social media posts we like, the acquaintance we grab coffee with. But a true friend? That’s a different species altogether. A true friend is the one you find when your world collapses, and instead of seeing a mess, they see a project. Their name is Liam, and he is the keeper of my broken pieces.

MY EYES UP
**My Eyes Up** I used to walk with my eyes down. It wasn’t that I feared the world—at least, that’s what I told myself. It was more that the cracks in the pavement felt predictable. Safe. They didn’t ask anything of me. They didn’t require the vulnerability that comes with meeting another person’s gaze.

The Day the Dog Turned - 19 November 2025
The Day the Dog Turned - 19 November 2025 Morning has a strange way of fooling us. It begins softly, quietly, making us believe the entire day will be peaceful. But on 19 November 2025, that calm morning betrayed me. I woke up feeling fresh, with a clear mind and no worries. The cool air from the mountains made the morning even more peaceful. Birds were chirping, the streets were still waking up, and everything looked normal.

Necessary Truth
The Foundation Of All Thinking Every human act of reason begins with an assumption. The assumption is that logic exists. When we say something is true or false, when we draw conclusions or recognize contradictions, we rely on fixed laws of thought that we did not invent. These laws are universal, consistent, and independent of personal opinion.

When Logic Becomes A Weapon
The Rise Of Performative Reason We live in an age where people worship logic but rarely use it with integrity. Reason has become a stage performance rather than a search for truth. Arguments that once served to clarify reality now serve to elevate ego. Debate has become entertainment. Outrage has replaced understanding.

Heart's Commitment
When you fall in love with someone, don't focus on how long your time together will last, or calculate the gains and losses in this chapter of your journey. If the day comes when you truly have to say goodbye, then let yourselves wave farewell through misty eyes, offering mutual thanks. How wonderfully warm and comforting it is to look back and be grateful that your life paths once intertwined, that your memories bloomed with such vivid color. When you love someone, please treat them with ultimate gentleness. Even if fate inevitably forces you to choose the painful half of life, ensure your shared memories are flawless. At the very least, you once belonged to each other.

When Work Bonds Grow Deeper Than Home
In today's fast-paced professional climate, workplace relationships organically emerge. We work on projects together, meet tight deadlines, and spend long hours with coworkers. However, these contacts might gradually develop into emotional bonds that eclipse our domestic relationships. As these bonds strengthen, the lines between professional and personal life blur—often without anyone explicitly realizing it.
