Strength Isn’t Always a Choice
By Nadeem Shah People praised me for being strong, but they didn’t see the truth—my strength wasn’t a gift, it was a sentence I never chose to serve.

The Wake-Up Call
Rafiq was 38, a man who wore his busy schedule like a badge of honor. As a project manager at a fast-growing tech company, he thrived on back-to-back meetings, late-night emails, and the constant hum of productivity. His desk was cluttered with energy drink cans, half-eaten sandwiches, and sticky notes filled with reminders. Promotion after promotion had come his way, but somewhere along the path, he’d stopped noticing how tired he really was.

The Pillars of Health
When we talk about health, many of us think first about the body—whether we’re eating right, exercising, or avoiding illness. But true health goes much deeper than that. It’s not just the absence of sickness; it’s about feeling good in your body, your mind, and your relationships. The World Health Organization puts it well: health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being. That’s a powerful idea—one that reminds us health isn’t something we achieve once and forget about. It’s an ongoing process, shaped by our choices, our environment, and the world around us.

I’m the One Who Never Falls Apart—Until I Did
By Nadeem Shah I’ve always been “the strong one.” You know the type—the person who listens at 2 a.m. when someone needs to vent, who holds space for tears that aren’t their own, who never seems to crack no matter how heavy the storm gets. That was me.

The Silence Between Us
By Nadeem Shah It had been 472 days since we last spoke. Not that I was counting—at least, not anymore. In the beginning, I counted everything. The days since the argument. The hours since I thought about calling. The number of messages I typed and never sent. The seconds I stood outside your door that one night… and turned away.

Title: Whispers in a Locked Room . Content Warning. AI-Generated.
The first time I almost told you I loved you, I blinked instead. One slow, deliberate blink—just long enough to hide a war behind my eyelids.

The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation
*The Complex Role of Dopamine in Our Lives: Understanding the Science Behind Pleasure and Motivation* Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in our brain's reward and pleasure centers. It is often referred to as the "feel-good" hormone, and for good reason. Dopamine is released in response to pleasurable activities, such as eating, exercise, or social interactions, and it helps to motivate us to repeat those behaviors. However, when dopamine is released in excess or in response to artificial stimuli, such as social media or pornography, it can have negative consequences for our mental and physical health.
