Reflecting Community

You asked me, “What does it mean to be in love?”

It means that your eyes become a hidden mirror, reflecting the slightest shadow of sadness in the eyes of the person you love before they even notice it themselves. It means that when the voice of the person you love trembles ever so slightly, your heart trembles too, like a bird that seeks refuge… read more

My parents

Have an obsession with weight and they keep their issues reflecting on me all the time, that it's annoying. I love myself. I have self esteem. And every time, they try to break it down. No matter if I'm thin, of fuller, I always learn to love myself no matter what. But they are always constantly… read more

Lately I spend my time in nature or watching views and I realized that we are reflecting our selfs what we see

Nature's mirror

A quiet stream reflecting the golden canopy above. Fall is officially here, and it feels like a breath of fresh air. Stream paths and autumn walks.

Emerald Embrace

When springtime wakes the sleeping ground, And verdant life begins to sprout, My heart with joy does then abound, Dispelling every trace of doubt. It paints the leaves on every tree, A calming balm for weary eyes, This hue that sets my spirit free, Reflecting hope beneath the skies. From mossy… read more

Just food for the mind. 💬

I believe there's a weird tax that alot seems to place onto the person who has more self-awareness in a dynamic. Because you're the one capable of reflecting, suddenly you're expected to do everybody else's reflecting too. You understand why they behave that way, so give them grace. You're more… read more

BEYOND THE "BOX

For the past two days, I’ve been writing about Aslan. At first, it was a story about one person. Then, it grew into a story about a family. Then—into a story about the environment that shaped them. And ultimately, it became something much larger: an attempt to understand the architecture at… read more

Berlin wall

Standing here at the Berlin Wall Memorial, my heart feels a deep sense of sorrow reflecting on this dark chapter of human history. It is truly heartbreaking to think that mankind once built structures like this to divide souls, separate families, and lock human beings in a cage of fear and… read more

Raise your voice against the violence and abuse perpetrated against you by men in our society.

Even the most mundane dialogues encountered in daily life or in the digital world have become a mirror of profound social decay. A civilized conversation between two people can be interpreted as reflecting a deep social rot.

There are songs you listen to during the day, and then there are songs that only hit right when the world is quiet, the road is open, and you’re just reflecting on life. Music feels completely different when there are no distractions around. What’s that one track on your playlist that immediately… read more

Love in the Age of Dating Apps & The 'Next' Culture

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on modern romance and where it all went wrong. The stats don't lie—divorce and breakup rates are through the roof compared to barely 30 years ago. ​Honestly, dating apps feel like such a paradox. The place where you're supposed to find love is the exact same place… read more

#9. Tumble With Me.

Tumble with me in lilac fields. Let laughter fill the air between us two. Clutch to me so, so tightly so we are safe as we roll downhill, my Rue. Then as we come to a stop, Stay in my embrace awhile & Let your soul come out to peek. I bet it's tired of always playing hide & seek. Let your light… read more

Crimson and Gold's Whisper

The hills ignite in fire's embrace, A painted dream on nature's face. A vibrant blush, a golden gleam, Reflecting life in autumn's stream. Through silent peaks, a song takes flight, A whispered tune, both soft and light. The wind, a voice of rustling leaves, The mountain's heart, it gently… read more

was deep in reflection this morning

Linkin Park - Numb

Things that came to mind while recording this: "ARGH THE LIGHT IS BLINDING ME" "OH GOD IT'S REFLECTING OFF MY GIANT FOREHEAD" "I CAN'T FKIN READ THE LYRICS"

THE TEN CONNECTION COMMANDMENTS

~Because your friend/soulmate shouldn't need a detective licence. 1. Thou Shalt Not Catfish Thyself. 🐟 Your face, please. Not your cat, dog, car, sunset or favourite cartoon character. They're lovely, but which one am I supposed to date? 2. The Witness Protection Programme Is Not a Dating… read more

8 Stories of "Loss" I Learned from a Pair of Earphones 🎧☕

I found myself sitting quietly earlier, looking at some old earphones and headsets still kept in my room. At first, it seemed trivial—just small objects, some missing one side, others having lost their ear pads, or even gone missing along with their charging cases. But upon deeper reflection, these… read more

A ghost town

There once was a time when I looked at the night sky before me thinking to myself, “is this all?” Reflecting within and not what was beyond my view. Glowing trees erected, reaching for the stars above. Below them were little huts. As beautiful as the sight is, a ghost town laid before me.

A near miss

I barely got introduced to anime in my mid 20s. I kinda always thought it would be childish maybe or wouldn't really affect me in any way, shape, or form. But damn was I wrong. The emotions it's brought forth from me. The anticipation of what's next to come. The self reflecting when things hit too… read more

Tbh, ive been thinking about reaching out to an old friend.

What happened wasnt their fault and they seemed to be a genuinely nice person but due to some differences and the situation at the time I felt the need to distance myself but honestly ive been thinking about them lately which is rare for me. 👀 and by thinking about them i meant reflecting on the… (edited) read more

Suffering

I thought today's question was interesting, so thought I'd do some reflecting on what it means to me. 2 years of therapy after my divorce has taught me a lot of things. I suffered a lot through 10 years of my life trying to get a relationship to work with a woman who never would admit she wanted… read more

Birmingham experienced a pink sky event last night, which was extremely dreamlike. This is due to the pink LED lights used at the Birmingham City football stadium reflecting snow on the field.

Emotional Safety.

Emotional Safety is the foundation for any long term relationship to be successful and healthy. Most people today are unaware that the majority of their relationships lack or are completely missing emotional safety. Especially with our parents, the first relationship dynamic we’re born into. To… read more

Single in 2026

Anyone else overwhelmed by the dating scene or is that the ‘tism talking? Despite it being a lot, I’ve got to say I really found myself this last year and reflecting on my dating experiences has helped with that. I know what I want, where my boundaries are (and how to enforce them), and what I… read more

Business As Usual

I’ve been reflecting about Greta Thunberg and others with a similar message and the uncomfortable relationship between knowing something and doing something about it. She isn’t the first person to challenge how we live, and she won’t be the last. It’s interesting how readily we can acknowledge a… read more

Whenever I feel exhausted or burnt out, I pause to reflect and look inward 🥰✨💖🌻🤗🫂

Whenever I feel exhausted or burnt out, I pause to reflect and look inward: What do I need right now? What is the root cause? How can I recharge to keep fighting? ​God is always my ultimate source of strength. Yet, as an imperfect human, taking time to rest is essential—and I am fortunate to have… read more

My Little Books Collection 📚

I recently discovered a new hobby—collecting books and, sometimes, actually reading them. 😅 I’m a slow reader, so I usually read when I’m in the mood or when I find a book that really catches my interest. Surprisingly, this hobby has helped me a lot in unwinding, reflecting, and simply enjoying… read more

Wearing clothes that highlight your confidence and femininity while still reflecting decency and a conservative style, even in a crowded place is about balance, self-respect, and elegance. 🌻🫰

Really pretty cave from my trip to croatia, the sunlight reflecting off the seabed creates the blue glow! (edited)

Why do we always blame our ex, instead of reflecting on ourselves—when, after all, we’re also an ex to them?

Wow, the reality is intriguing. 🤔💭

Some people interpret exhaustion as lack of care when really you’re just trying to survive the week. Not everyone has the energy to argue or react to everything the way others expect them to 24/7. Being busy does not mean I care less. Some of us are balancing work, stress, school,… read more

Here I sat, lost in thought, reflecting on everything that had happened to me this week, until this cat came along and made me forget what I had been going through. (edited)

Mental Health Awareness Month! #1

I know I'm pretty late to the whole "Mental Health Awareness Month" hype. But I wanted to toss a question out there to get like-minded people reflecting on things that might help them later on in life. Here's today's reflective question: How do you personally practice switching your mindset… read more

Before me lies a lake of almost dreamlike clarity, its surface perfectly reflecting the snow-capped mountains and blue sky, wildflowers swaying gently at my feet.

Lets have a Discussion on life

Celestial stars collide, and the sky roars in freedom for a moment… I feel it. Like we were never meant to live small, but to speak freely and chase what calls us. And in the quiet in-between moments on Earth, I wonder… When we look to the stars and think of zodiacs Do you believe it ties to… read more
