Long-term trauma leaves you with no idea who you are. You keep coping, imitating, trying to become someone, maybe your ideal self, because you don’t know your original self, if something like that even exists. An authentic “you” doesn’t exist yet. And then, when you heal a little and build…

Love and human emotions are complex, capable of offering a wide range of experiences even when the circumstances seem similar. The process of loving someone, feeling disconnected from them, and eventually losing interest follows a pattern many have lived through, yet it feels unique every time. Loving someone who was…

While I often believe that childhood surroundings play a decisive role in shaping who we become, I also see many who turn out completely different from what their environment might suggest. A strictly traditional family may raise a free-spirited son, an atheist household could nurture a deeply religious individual, and…

Once upon a time there was a boy named ray. Ray was a very inquisitive boy who always wanted to learn something new. Ray’s father was a small time mechanic in the local garage and he did not earn so much that he could keep up with Ray’s learning needs….

Philosophers, theologians, ardent devotees, and poets have all mused on how, sometimes, cherishing someone from a distance and waiting for them can feel more blissful than actually being with them. Neuroscience explains this…

The Fear Of Death I have three types of experiences with death. I had imagined it many times. Daydreaming about my mom’s death or the deaths of people I loved came naturally to me. Probably because I always watched her being unwell while growing up, I felt we could lose…

One of the most empowering things children do is follow their parents to the T. For those parents who tell that their kids do not to listen to them, they should know that, even before they realize it, their children are copying their behavior. What is problematic in them is…

I am a novice when it comes to acting. Not only did I hold various assumptions about the talent required, thinking it was no big deal, but I also believed acting was for those who couldn’t do anything else. Recently, I had an epiphany, a newfound respect for actors, when…

(A millennial’s version) The age-old question. Maybe when you are a teenager. Maybe when you’ve been hurt so many times that your heart has stopped feeling. Maybe when you’ve been with someone for so long that love has faded into mere habit. Whatever the reason, this question haunts millions, and…
