Because life didn’t end when I was 14 or 15
There are times when we feel like it’s the end of the world. When darkness loom over us and it seems like the sun won’t rise again. The time when we’re trapped at a seemingly unending, poorly lit tunnel, unable to find the end and unable to see the light.

I am different
In my teens, I thought, all people were more or less like me. I used to think, that laws were unnecessary because people wouldn’t suddenly start killing or stealing just because there are no laws forbidding it, and those who want to do that, already do it despite the law. But I was about to get surprised - I was wrong.

Why I Had to Hit Rock Bottom to Love Myself

The Multifaceted Self
The self, an intricate network of systems. I try to picture it as a myriad of neurons fired all at once, having its own spark and clusters of information from the outside world as they move around what we know as the mind. These neurons with circuits like freeways travel around, meeting at a point of junction creating an intricate network of systems. These systems having both agency and autonomy, give rise to an environment which acts as an avenue of giving birth to new infinite sub-systems. Blending with one another these sub-systems procreate unique formations giving rise to an infinite number of connections like an infinite maze, making the self not a singular entity but a constellation of many selves.
