Be bored more often.

Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone without devices. You would get to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain gets the best ideas when it is left to wander.

In those quiet moments, you'll uncover clarity and inspiration that can't be found in constant stimulation.

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

I feel like Substack is lowkey full of the people who get overly excited about the small things in life which everyone else seems to miss - that morning coffee, the luxury of fresh sheets, the tiny synchronicities, evening light

Best mental reset I’ve learned:

If your mind is loud — Write.

If your mind is empty — Read.

If your mind is racing — Walk.

If your mind is tired — Sleep.

If your mind is sharp — Build.

Most problems are just mismatched energy. Get the inputs right, the rest follows.

No one in my life knows I have a Substack.

I wanted this to be a space for myself, a place to say what I want, without filtering myself.

I don’t want to think about who’s reading, or how it might land, or whether I’m being too much.

It’s lonelier this way. Starting from nothing. Speaking into the void.

But for now, this space is mine. That’s how I want it to stay.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

In English, we say: "I overthink."

But in poetry, we say: "I replay your words a thousand times, searching for a meaning you never meant.”

In Iraq's book market, books are left on the street overnight because, as Iraqis say, "the reader does not steal and the thief does not read."

I think we are moving away from the era of social media and into an era of online micro-communities. More intentional, less chaos. Smaller, but more valuable. More boundaries, more containment.

We were never made to read the unhinged thoughts of hundreds of strangers each day, but we were made to gather around fires with groups and share our stories.

I'm a medical doctor, but I had to leave the system to tell the truth.

Most of what you’re told about your health is incomplete or completely wrong.

You’re stuck in a system that profits from your symptoms, not your healing.

In my Substack, I write the truth I wasn’t allowed to say inside the system.

If you're exhausted, unwell, and unheard, say hi! 🙌

Uncommon advice:

If you don't know what to pursue in life right now.

Pursue yourself.

Pursue becoming the healthiest, happiest, most healed, most present, most confident version of yourself.

Then the right path will reveal itself.

This Supreme Court is one of the most political in history. Especially Thomas and Scalia. ACB seems to have grown a conscience to some extent and even Kavanaugh has disappointed MAGA somewhat. But this guy… Thomas.. yeah he’s as corrupt as they come. He doesn’t even try to hide it.

It’s about damn time. AOC is a hero. She’s one of the best out there, fighting daily against Trump’s fascist bullshit.

I might get slightly bashed for this one—but just my personal intake;

Can we please stop giving the “universe” credit for what GOD is doing?

It’s not the stars aligning — it’s the Savior making a way.

Doors don’t just open on their own. That’s GOD.

Let’s start calling it what it is and giving honor where it’s due.

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

WOW

The USA will require Pfizer and Moderna to put earning labels on their covid mRNA injections that there is a risk of heart injury side effect.

Remember when I was called a "conspiracy theorist" for warning about this many years ago?

The terr*rist who murdered two Jewish people in the USA today has been identified as a far-left extremist and is a member of the Party for Socialism and Liberation.
