A creative piece inspired by a young man's musings on and experience with anxiety.
Alice moved through her days with the precision of a metronome, yet within, her emotions swung like a pendulum between the poles of depression’s inertia and anxiety’s frenetic charge. Each swing brought a shift in focus, a blurring of the lines between calm and chaos, the measured and the unknown. This was her quantum dance, [...]

This creative piece explores the connection between physics and mental health, drawing parallels between the quantum world and the human mind. It delves into themes of uncertainty, interconnectedness, and the observer's effect. Through the story of Alice, it illustrates how embracing uncertainty and multiple emotional states can lead to a form of quantum healing and a fluid, evolving journey through the human experience.
A little musing on love. For others, for myself.
"u and i" is a poem that delves into heartfelt apologies and the complexity of self-reflection. It's a raw, honest exploration of the mistakes one made and the pain caused, both to others and to themselves. Each line in the poem is a step towards understanding and seeking forgiveness.

An introspective piece on how to approach navigating the voyage of life.
A roller coaster of emotions.
