THE CHANGING WORLD VIEW

Image
  Have you ever felt like the world around you is shifting beneath your feet? Like the things we once called “normal” are now fragments of a memory we can barely piece together? Welcome to the world as we know it —or perhaps more accurately, the world as we knew it. From the digital explosion that lets us speak across continents in seconds to the emotional disconnect that ironically grows in an age of constant connectivity, we are living in a paradox. Technological breakthroughs are accelerating, global awareness is expanding, and yet, deep within us, many are whispering the same question: “Where is all of this really taking us?” The Speed of Change Change has always been a part of human history, but the pace today is breathless. Artificial intelligence is writing books and diagnosing diseases. Climate patterns are reshaping cities and coastlines. Identity, truth, even time itself—everything feels negotiable. What was certain yesterday becomes debatable today. But this isn’t ...

LOADED BUT NOT FIRED - IT'S TIME TO CHANGE THE ENVIRONMENT

  There’s a powerful truth circulating in the mental health space: "Genetics loads the gun, but environment pulls the trigger." This statement is more than a metaphor—it’s a mirror. It reflects the realities many people live with silently. Some are born with a biological predisposition toward depression, anxiety, or other mental health challenges. But it is often the environment—the chaos at home, the pressure at school, the trauma in the neighborhood, or the silence in the church—that pulls the trigger. And here’s what we must remember: We can’t always change the genes—but we can absolutely change the environment. That’s where you and I come in.

And too many people are still suffering in silence because they think their pain is a personal failure. But mental health is not a matter of weak will—it is often a ma...

THE STORIES WE TELL OURSELVES

Image
  Are You Living in a Story That Isn’t True? Have you ever remembered something so clearly —a moment, a conversation, a failure—only to discover later that it didn’t happen the way you thought? You’re not alone. Your brain is wired to fill in gaps . It connects emotional dots and builds narratives to make sense of chaos. But sometimes, it gets it wrong. That phenomenon has a name: confabulation —the lies we honestly tell ourselves. And if you don’t confront those false stories, they’ll quietly shape your reality. What Is Confabulation? Confabulation isn't about lying to others—it's about unintentionally lying to ourselves. It’s the brain’s way of protecting us from uncertainty or trauma by creating plausible but inaccurate memories or beliefs. It happens more often than you think: "I always mess things up." "They left because I wasn’t enough." "I’ll never succeed—just like last time." These may not be facts , but if they feel familiar, y...
