Should Our Bodies Be a Trend?
I heard the term “Ghost Lashes” recently. For those unaware, ghost lashes refer to when someone doesn’t wear any eyelash-enhancing products. In other words, no mascara, no falsies, no eyeliner. This “new” idea has started to gain some popularity. Of course, there are people proudly refusing to leave their homes without falsies. There’s been some Continue reading

How Far Are You Willing to Go for Something You Want?
I just finished watching “Fear Street: Prom Queen.” It is a 2025 Netflix movie. Like most Netflix horror movies, it was somewhat lacking in delivery. I was in the mood for a slasher flick, and I guess it did a good enough job at scratching the itch. The movie is about a girl with a Continue reading

Will We Ever Know Everything?
I don’t think the human mind is capable of retaining the universe’s information. I believe that attempting to grasp the entirety of the universe in our hands would drive us insane. However, understanding the structure of a neutron star’s core may help society with technological advancements. Computers will do most of the legwork. I believe Continue reading

When Do I Feel Most Connected to Something Greater Than Myself?
I just finished watching the movie “Us.” I asked myself what it means to have a soul and a shadow. I found myself in a rabbit hole, no pun intended. There is one scene in the movie where the “shadow” is dancing and says that she felt God. I wasn’t quite sure if I had Continue reading

I don’t think love is a feeling. We feel happy that someone we love has succeeded. We worry that someone we care about has gotten hurt. We fear death will break into our home and kidnap the people we hold dear. Love is too complex to define with simple terms. Love is a system of Continue reading

What Would Remain of Me If My Memory Were Erased?
There are definitely people out there who have suffered total amnesia, but I’m not one of them. However, I can surmise an answer. The core question hidden in the one above is “Who am I?” which I don’t think anyone knows. It’s a funny thought that the person we know best is actually a stranger. Continue reading

Is My Life Something I’m Creating, or Something I’m Reacting To?
I’m proud to say that I have recently begun creating my own life. The majority of the time, I reacted to what life threw at me. I continuously found myself struggling and maneuvering around opposition. Sometimes I fell and forgot how to stand up. But while crawling, I made decisions to regulate my future. I’ve Continue reading

Crafting Characters with Compelling Backstories
Stories are part of human nature. We started on cave walls using simple paints, moved on to clay tablets, then parchment, and finally, in modern times, an LED screen. Technology changed how we write stories, but one thing that has remained consistent is our love for characters. Whether they are heroes or villains, shallow or Continue reading

If You Could Adopt Another Perspective on Life, What Would It Be?
My current life philosophy is very fluid. The world around us is concrete and abides by predictable laws. I know what a stone is. I could calculate its age, conclude its composition, and predict its destruction. However, when it comes to the human condition, I wouldn’t know where to begin. We filter the stable natural Continue reading
