A Note on Toxic Femininity
When it comes to the subject of gender, the subject of toxic masculinity and its detrimental effects on individuals in society is rightfully given a lot of attention. However, it is equally important to shed light on another aspect of gender dynamics, inequality, and equality: toxic femininity. Toxic femininity refers to the adherence to harmful gender norms and stereotypes that enable and continue the subjugation, oppression, discrimination, and inequality of women, often at the expense of their well-being and the well-being of others in society.

2020 in Review: Reflection
I have to say this year has been one of the weirdest years ever for a lot of people including myself. It has been a complete roller coaster that has sucked the life out of everyone both mentally and physically. It’s still hard to comprehend, even when it is the time of the New Year again.

Closure On My Covid Dreams
During my third month in lockdown with my family this year, I began to experience horrible nightmares. I ignored them at first. However, I began to worry about them after a bunch of my dreams became recurring ones day by day in quarantine, along with the experiences of sleep paralysis and night terrors. Don’t get my wrong, I had dreams like this before the pandemic growing up but never like this before while in quarantine. It was horrible and felt as if life was slowly draining out of me day by day. I thought I was slowly losing my life bit by bit as a result. I didn’t know who I was anymore as a person. I couldn’t comprehend what was going on. I even forgot why I existed in general. I felt as if I was going crazy!
