What Does Ketamine-Assisted Therapy Usually Cost Across the US?
The first question most people ask when exploring new mental health treatments isn’t philosophical it’s practical. Cost matters, especially when a therapy feels unfamiliar and isn’t always covered by insurance. Ketamine-based care sits in that space where hope, science, and financial reality intersect. People considering it want clarity, not sales talk or vague estimates.

Owning Your Time Is the Real Luxury
At exactly 6:47 a.m., Adam’s phone vibrated on the bedside table. Not an alarm—just another notification. A message from work. Another email marked “urgent.” Before his feet even touched the floor, his mind was already racing through tasks, deadlines, and expectations. He hadn’t chosen to wake up yet, but the world had chosen for him. Adam used to believe luxury meant expensive watches, fast cars, and first-class flights. He worked hard, climbed the ladder, and earned enough to afford things he once admired from afar. From the outside, his life looked successful. From the inside, it felt rented—every hour owned by someone else. This is a familiar story in modern life. We are surrounded by conveniences designed to save time, yet we feel more rushed than ever. Calendars are full, inboxes never sleep, and “free time” feels like a rare accident instead of a basic right. Somewhere along the way, time stopped being ours. And quietly, without realizing it, we traded the most valuable asset we had. Owning your time is the real luxury—not because time is scarce, but because true ownership has become rare. Adam didn’t realize this until a random Tuesday afternoon. He was sitting in traffic, late for a meeting he didn’t care about, listening to a podcast he barely heard. A man on the show said a sentence that felt uncomfortably personal: “If you don’t decide how to spend your time, someone else will do it for you.” The traffic light turned green, but Adam didn’t move immediately. That sentence stayed with him.

The Internet Quietly Rewired Your Brain — And You Didn’t Notice Until Now
You probably feel it already. You’re more “plugged in” than ever, yet somehow less present in your own life. You scroll, you refresh, you consume—and then wonder why you feel empty afterward.

The Power of Positive Thinking
How are you doing? How is life treating you at the moment? Life doesn't need to crash completely for you to feel "down on your luck." A failed promotion, or work project that didn't go as planned, or a missed opportunity can set you back months.

Why Silence Triggers Anxiety
Silence is often sold to us as peace. Retreat brochures promise it. Meditation apps pursue it. Spiritual traditions revere it. And yet, for many people, silence does not arrive gently. It presses. It unsettles. It tightens the chest and sharpens the breath. In the absence of sound, anxiety doesn’t fade—it steps forward.

“Psychology of the Human Soul: Why We Think, Feel, and Act the Way We Do” – Very humebatic, emotional, and deep
Introduction: The Mystery Within Us The human mind is one of the most powerful and mysterious creations in the world. Every thought we think, every emotion we feel, and every action we take begins inside our mind. Psychology is the science that helps us understand this inner world. It explains why we smile when we are happy, cry when we are hurt, and struggle when life becomes heavy. Psychology is not just about illness or mental problems; it is about understanding ourselves as human beings.

Watch Out Wednesdays - 1/21/26 (Opinion)
From an international standpoint, we have two major things to watch out for. The first is the conflict over Greenland with a proposed US takeover by President Trump. The goal appears to be to take over the entire Western Hemisphere piece by piece. If you have teenage children, then you may unfortunately will have to send them to war if these conflicts continue.

Mirror, Mirror - Who Do You See?
Hey, how are you feeling today? Have you taken some time for yourself today? If you are a trauma survivor, the answer is probably not. As survivors, the last person we think about is ourselves because we have spent years being suppressed into believing that we don't exist, that we are nothing, and that we deserve nothing.

Scroll, Share, Repeat
Scroll, Share, Repeat: The Ethics of What We Believe and Spread It happens almost subconsciously. I open my phone to check a message, and suddenly an hour has passed. A video about a celebrity scandal leads to a protest clip, and then to a “must-see” thread about political corruption. My emotions shift by the second—from being angry, to entertained, to heartbroken, to amused. It feels like I’m seeing the entire world in just the palm of my hands, but really, the world I’m seeing has already been chosen for me. Every scroll feels like a choice, but it isn’t. Every share feels like my voice, but it isn’t either.
