Does emotional security come from knowing what to expect, or trusting the people who influence what happens?

I've been contemplating the distinction between uncertainty and insecurity. We often associate emotional security with stability, predictability, and knowing where we stand. But even the most predictable circumstances can become emotionally exhausting when the people involved lack… read more

$34,000 in Debt. A Family of six. Two Women Forbidden to Work or Study.

This is my essay as an observer of what happens when poverty, social restrictions, and dependency become a closed system. Consider the life of a man named Aslan (a pseudonym, as this is a true story) who lives in a remote forest village of 500 people in the North Caucasus. Aslan is 55 years old… read more

The architecture of power

Beyond Assassin’s Creed: the architecture of power The historical settings of Assassin’s Creed draw on real people, institutions, and events, but the franchise's centuries-long secret war is fictional. The historical Nizari Ismailis and Knights Templar existed; the global ideological conflict… read more

I’ve watched busy people make time for someone they care about. I’ve seen people who struggle to communicate become better communicators, terrible texters start replying quickly, and people who claimed they weren’t ready for a relationship suddenly become ready when they met someone they genuinely… read more

Resilience

Plants live in harsh conditions. They live through neglect and hostile forces. Their leaves get shredded, discolor, wither away. Branches which can no longer be sustained dry up and are dropped. Stems grow sideways if there's no other way to go. In dire circumstances, plants turn downwards under… (edited) read more

Thoughts

No one has the power to let us down; we let ourselves down when we hand over the keys to our worth to others. We let ourselves down when we mistake kindness for naivety and grant blind trust to those who haven't been tested. We let ourselves down every time we accept less than we deserve, and with… read more

Post Break-up

What I learned from my last relationship is that emotional capacity isn’t something you can avoid. When you think you are ready to hold your partner emotionally, it doesn’t mean your partner has the capacity to do the same. Someone can care about you and still struggle to give you the consistency,… read more

When individuals claim to be “drama free,” what I hear is: “I’m not connected to humanity.”

If you’ve chosen to state, “no drama” on your bio, what does that mean for you? Life is our lived experiences. Sometimes people get cancer. Does cancer equal “drama?” Sometimes humans are obligated to deal with situations out of their control. Does this mean “drama?” If yes and you claim to be… (edited) read more

4. The Perimeter — What Could Disrupt the Process?

A plan describes what I expect to happen. I also want to consider what might prevent it from happening. In practice, a process may encounter interruptions that were not included in the original model: limited time, changing circumstances, unavailable resources, illness, or the loss of a… read more

New Day

Each new day brings hope. That same hope allows us to have joy and peace, despite our circumstances, as we trust in Him.

Untill We Found Our Way Back🥀 ( Part Of Life)

I know you're going through so much right now, my love. ❤️‍🩹 And the worst part is that I can't be there for you. I can't hold your hand when things get difficult, can't wipe your tears when you cry, can't look into your eyes and tell you that everything will be okay. I'm just here, miles away,… read more

Struggle

What’s the story behind who you are today? What struggles, hardships, or circumstances did you have to go through to become the person you are today?

Don’t inherit others limit…

✍ Another person’s experience can inform you, but it should not automatically determine your expectation of your own capability. ✍ What was difficult for them may not be difficult for you. Different people have different skills, experience, circumstances, and paths. ✍ Listen. Learn. Assess the… read more

Can't believe this.. how sad 🥀

Just heard of RJ Mitte's passing and the circumstances. I cannot phantom the pain and loss of his closed ones, but also the way he must have felt himself to go this far.. I truly hope people reconsider the good things surrounding them and reach out to friends and family in moments of despair, the… read more

My cheat sheet for MBTI profiles.

So... today I found myself not fully happy with MBTI profiles' explanations and a clarity of their distinctions. Few free hours and a pile of GPT tokens later here is what I managed to compress them into (as always, compression is not lossless, so keep in mind that it had its price too). Don't… read more

“men wouldn’t think about cheating if all their needs were met.” weird. some women have had their needs ignored, their hearts neglected, and still chose to stay loyal. cheating isn’t a need. it’s a choice. fidelity isn’t dependent on perfect circumstances. it’s about character.

Help

I'm tired friend

I'm tired, friend... But I can't stop. Every day is a new battle... sometimes with money, sometimes with circumstances, sometimes with my own thoughts. People say, "Everything will be fine!"

Selfie ♡

Today although I was stressed out I think I look better than my circumstances 😂❤️

Looking for World of Warcraft gaming friends. Hey there, 55 year old Gamer. Looking to make more gaming friends. I mostly play World of Warcraft Retail. At my age, I don't share common interests with most people my age. I am looking for people to "hang out with" online.

Pretty much what the title says. Looking for Gamer friends to spend time with online. Mostly play Wow Retail but I dabble in other games as well. Not looking for anything romantic, just friends. At my age, making friends is pretty difficult. My living circumstances are unique. I have a… read more

Today I decided to be a vegetarian after becoming a flexitarian

I will be a full vegan one day once the circumstances allows me. Would love to have vegan friends from around the world! 😊

Why Sometimes Explanations Matter Online

Navigating a long-distance relationship with someone you have never met is uniquely challenging. When physical presence isn't there to provide reassurance, words and digital communication carry all the weight. In an online relationship where you haven't met in person, trust and reality are built… read more

Missing my family

Sorry in advance if this is too depressing... Since Jan 30th of this year my whole world was turned upside down. My children have been split up. I voluntarily gave up my custody of my daughter to her bio father (not my husband) and she's now living with him. Had I tried to fight him I would've… (edited) read more

Cosplaying - The Bare Minimum

Cosplaying is an expensive hobby. When I was younger, I never really went out of my way to cosplay since I was ashamed that I could only do the bare minimum of it. It was such a pity I didn't know back then that it didn''t really matter if you had expensive costumes or cheap ones. You just had to… (edited) read more

Loneliness

Loneliness can be a heavy burden to carry, especially when it feels like nobody truly understands what you're going through 🤕. It's like being stuck in a crowded room, yet feeling completely isolated and disconnected from the world around you. It's essential to acknowledge that loneliness is a… read more

Dutch Snow

After 9 days filled with uncertainty, where railways, roads and entire airports fully collapsed, I'm glad to announce my body and soul remain fully unscathed. No matter the… read more

Let them…

Let people misunderstand you. Let them question your intentions. Let them gossip. Let them create their own version of reality-but never let it affect you. We waste so much energy trying to change others' opinions of us, constantly replaying the guilt of not being liked. But the truth is, none of… read more

Love is

Love is fundamentally about the conscious, daily decision to choose a person, rather than merely relying on fleeting feelings. This choice is an active, ongoing process that requires effort, self-reflection, and a commitment to nurture the relationship through both the easy and difficult times.… read more

People say they’ve changed… but have they really?

People often say “I’ve changed”… but is it real change, or just adapting to new circumstances? Can a person truly become someone completely different from who they are at their core, or do we simply show different versions of ourselves depending on life? What do you think, do people actually… (edited) read more
