The art of attraction — especially between men and women — has been a subject of poetry, philosophy, and science alike.

Keeping the Mind Young: Science-Backed Ways to Slow Brain Ageing
As we age, we often expect wrinkles, weaker bones, or slower movement — but what truly worries most people is the ageing of the mind. Forgetting names, losing focus, or feeling mentally fatigued can be frightening signs that our brain is changing. Yet, science is uncovering hopeful news: the brain is not a machine doomed to wear out. It’s a living, adaptable organ capable of renewal, repair, and growth at any age — if we give it the right conditions.

How to Forgive Yourself for the Things You Cannot Undo
There are mistakes that live in our minds long after they happened. Maybe it was a word spoken in anger, a relationship we destroyed, or a choice that pulled our lives in a direction we never imagined. Regret can replay in our heads like a song we cannot switch off, and shame becomes a heavy chain around the heart. Yet no matter how permanent the past may seem, forgiveness has the power to loosen its grip. Learning to forgive yourself does not erase what was done, but it allows healing to take root where pain once lived.

Echoes of the Quiet Room
I anticipated seeing nothing when I initially opened my grandmother's room door after she passed away. I anticipated that the room would feel empty, devoid of warmth, and composed solely of dust, cloth, and wood. Rather, I discovered presence—an unseen thread of something that encircled me before I had even crossed the threshold.

Climb On Down. Content Warning.
~ Let's begin the tour from the soft space between our closed eyes, the place one may see colourful spots, auras of timeless reflection, a shade between our restful state and consciousness. Just lie there. Here is where you are truly alone, the emptiness we are left with, a place Freud referred to as our Id. No one truly knows us and our highest self often ignores this quiet spot altogether. Truth is not always pretty and so easy to hide from. ~

it’s okay to disappear
Ghosting everyone because you’re lost inside yourself—and why that doesn’t make you a bad friend. There are seasons in life when you suddenly find yourself slipping away from everyone. Not out of spite, not because you stopped caring, but simply because you don’t know what’s happening inside you anymore.

The Sound of My Name in Other People’s Mouths
The Sound of My Name in Other People’s Mouths by [Numan writes] There’s a way my mother says my name that folds time. It carries the softness of early mornings and warm milk, the scent of jasmine from her shawl, and the quiet weight of lullabies hummed rather than sung. In her mouth, my name is a prayer—gentle, deliberate, each syllable laced with a kind of trembling care, like she’s still afraid to break me.
