You can love someone with your whole soul, pour your heart into every moment, stay loyal when the world tells you to walk away, and still not be enough. Not because you lack effort. Not because your love is incomplete. But simply because you're not the one they truly want, no matter how much they say they do. I gave my all. Quietly. Consistently. In ways no one ever saw. Not for recognition, not for reward, just because I believed .  But love doesn’t always echo back. You can give everything you have, your time, your energy, your presence. You can show up even when you're breaking, stay when it's easier to run, and hold on when everyone else would’ve let go. And still, it might not matter. Not because you didn’t try. But because you're not the person they truly want. I’ve had nights where everything was falling apart. Days when even breathing felt like effort. And in those moments, when I needed someone the most, I was standing alone. I kept it all together in front of ...

Embracing the Paradox of Life: Celebrating a Step Closer to Our Grave Introduction In the grand theater of existence, we often find ourselves celebrating milestones, birthdays, anniversaries, accomplishments, without fully grasping the deeper paradox they represent. In this subconscious world, every celebration is, in essence, a step closer to the grave. It is both profound and unsettling, yet it offers a unique lens through which we can explore life, purpose, and our place in the vastness of time. The Subconscious Illusion of Celebration Celebrations are integral to our human experience. They mark progress, growth, and the passage of time. Yet, beneath the surface, lies an unconscious acknowledgment of mortality. Each candle blown out on a birthday cake is a reminder of the fleeting nature of our existence, a paradox we often overlook. This subconscious ignorance is not a flaw but a coping mechanism. The human psyche thrives on hope, joy, and connection. To confront mortality in every...

Reflections and Resolutions: Embracing Growth and Overcoming Darkness This year, I achieved countless unforgettable memories, moments that will remain etched in my heart for a lifetime.

My Journey as a Self-Funded CSE Student As a CSE (Computer Science and Engineering) student, my classes began on November 17, 2024, at Southeast University. I chose this university primarily because of its affordability, estimating that it will cost me approximately 7 lakh BDT to complete my studies. However, the journey to get here has been far from easy. Life took a difficult turn when I lost my father during my childhood; I was in class 5. Since then, my mother has been my sole support system, my world and my greatest asset. She has sacrificed so much for me, and it is her unwavering strength and determination that have brought me to where I am today. Currently, I am standing on my own two feet, financing my education without relying on my family. How could I, when my mother is managing our one-handed household with limited resources? Over the last three to four years, I have been earning a little through my knowledge and skills. It hasn’t been a steady income, there were months whe...

Why It’s Okay to Admit You’re Struggling In today’s world, we are often told to be strong, stay positive, and handle everything with a smile. This pressure can make it hard to admit when we are struggling. We might fear that showing vulnerability means we are weak, but in reality, acknowledging our struggles is a sign of strength and an important part of emotional health. The Pressure to Stay Strong Many of us grow up hearing phrases like “don’t cry” or “just push through.” Society tells us to hide our emotions and deal with problems on our own. This can lead to feelings of isolation, shame, or frustration when we do face challenges. We may try to ignore how we feel, hoping it will go away, but this often makes things worse. The Power of Acknowledging Your Struggles Admitting that we are struggling is a powerful step toward self-awareness. It means we are paying attention to our emotions and allowing ourselves to feel. When we recognize and name our feelings, we start to understand the...
