Travel used to be all about ticking off landmarks, squeezing in as much as possible, and pushing through exhaustion just to say you “made the most” of a trip. However, more and more, people are craving something different—slower mornings, deeper presence, and experiences that leave them feeling restored, not worn out. The way we travel…
What Happens When You Finally Stop And Listen To The Silence Around You
Most of us live with a soundtrack of distraction. There’s always a voice, a screen, a task, a buzz—something pulling our attention outward. Silence, for many of us, feels completely foreign, or even uncomfortable. However, when you actually stop, pause, and let yourself sit in the quiet, something changes. The absence of noise isn’t empty;…
Can A Bot Help You Mourn, Or Just Delay The Grief?
AI is finding its way into every corner of our lives—including how we grieve. So-called “griefbots” are digital recreations of people who’ve passed away, built from their messages, voice notes, and online data. You can talk to them, text them, even hear their voice. It sounds comforting, and sometimes it is. However, it also raises…
People Who Don’t Know How To Express Their True Feelings Often Say These 16 Things
Not everyone grows up learning how to name their feelings, let alone express them out loud. For some, emotions were brushed aside, met with silence, or even punished—so it makes sense that, as adults, honesty about how they feel doesn’t always come easy.

Why Unplugging From Tech Feels More Necessary Than Ever
At this point, technology isn’t going anywhere—in fact, it’s taking over more and more of our lives. We rely on it for work, socialising, entertainment, and even sleep tracking. However, somewhere between the 10th notification of the day and the fourth hour of scrolling, more of us are hitting a wall. The constant digital noise…
Can Too Much Mental Health Awareness Cause More Harm Than Good?
Mental health awareness has come a long way—what was once whispered about is now openly discussed online, in schools, in workplaces. That change matters and is important, but like any movement, when the message becomes oversimplified, over-commercialised, or misused, it can start to backfire. Awareness isn’t the same as understanding. And when something as complex…
Ways Having Pets Helps You Feel Less Depressed And Anxious
They might not have a clue what a “bad mental health day” is, but somehow, our pets always know how to show up when you need them most. Whether it’s a dog resting their head on your knee, a cat curling up on your chest, or even a hamster going full acrobat in its cage,…
Finding Glimmers: How Small Joys Can Anchor You On Harder Days
Some days are just heavy—there’s no fixing them, no fast-forwarding through. However, even in the mess, there are moments—brief, quiet, easy-to-miss flickers of light. These are glimmers; not full-blown joy or transformation, just tiny sparks of okay-ness that remind you life isn’t all weight. You don’t have to chase them. You just have to notice….
How To Build A Fulfilling Career Doing What You Love
Building a career around what you love isn’t just a nice idea—it’s a process. It’s one that takes patience, clarity, and a willingness to tweak the plan as you grow. It’s not always neat or easy, but it’s worth it. Doing work that energises you instead of drains you can change how you feel about…
How Blue Zones Hold The Key To A Longer, Healthier, More Connected Life
Blue Zones are places around the world where people consistently live longer, healthier lives—and not just by a few years, but often into their late 90s or 100s. These regions, which include parts of Japan, Italy, Greece, Costa Rica, and California, aren’t filled with secret potions or high-tech biohacks. What they do have is a…
