Most of my waking time, I’m buried in work, stuck in transactional relationships. Weekends are for hobbies, exploration, relationships, or just catching up on sleep. But there’s a quieter, slower side of life we often miss. It’s about embracing silence and simplicity, finding warmth in solitude, and just breathing without the weight of the world. We need to shut down our senses and simply live, even if just for a moment.

Trauma can make us feel so helpless, like we’re stuck in an endless loop of fear and anxiety. But here’s the thing: our brains aren’t just pattern detectors. We’re complex beings with countless variables affecting our decisions. Life is full of pain, and sometimes, it’s better to accept things as they are. Not every battle needs to be fought. Sometimes, it’s okay to let things be and find peace in acceptance.

We live in a world where trends dictate much of what we do and how we think. Everyone wants to be part of the latest craze, whether it’s the newest tech, style, or even job trends. But what if following the crowd isn’t always the best path? What if, sometimes, being unstylish can actually be more rewarding and fun? This idea hit home during a recent job interview, and it made me reflect on the true value of pursuing what genuinely interests us, rather than just what’s trendy.
