When They Gave Us Masks, We Gave Up Our Faces

Image
They said it was for our safety. And maybe, for a time, it was. But somewhere along the way, the mask didn’t just cover our mouths— It began to swallow our selves . We used to wear faces. Now we wear roles. Now we wear silence. Now we wear filtered versions of who we think we’re supposed to be. The mask became more than cloth. It became comfort. It became compliance. It became camouflage. And the longer we wore them, the more we forgot what it felt like to be seen . We stopped making eye contact. We stopped speaking truth. We stopped showing emotion, because vulnerability was too dangerous. Or worse—too inconvenient. And when the masks came off, something haunting remained: The absence of identity. A generation now scrolls through life wearing new masks— Curated profiles. Echoed opinions. Emotionally sanitized performances of humanity. Ask someone how they are. You’ll get a script. Ask who they are. You’ll get a blank stare. We lost more than time during the...

The Cult of Progress

Image
They promised us utopia. Flying cars. Disease-free futures. A world made easier by machines. What we got was surveillance, sedation, and soul decay— All wrapped in sleek design and sold as progress . We worship innovation now. Not with temples and altars— But with upgrades, injections, subscriptions, and AI companions. This isn’t advancement. This is indoctrination . We’ve mistaken new for better. Speed for wisdom. Access for truth. Control for care. This is the Cult of Progress — And it’s growing. Every year, we trade more of our humanity for convenience. We call it evolution, but we’re regressing in spirit. We’re becoming dependent on systems we don’t understand, governed by codes we didn’t write, diagnosed by machines that don’t feel, and treated by industries that profit from our imbalance. They say the future is bright. But what happens when that brightness blinds us? Technology is not evil. Science is not the enemy. But worship without question is a dang...

Simulation Fatigue

Image
There’s a weariness in the air. You can feel it. In conversations that trail off into nothing. In the vacant stare at the glowing screen. In the strange ache behind the eyes after too many tabs, too many feeds, too many filtered realities. People are exhausted— But they don’t know why. It’s not just lack of sleep. It’s not just the grind. It’s not even the stress. It’s simulation fatigue . We live in a world layered in fiction: Virtual meetings with pixelated faces. AI-generated news. Social media reels looping like dreams you didn’t choose. Friends you haven’t seen in years, but their faces haunt your scroll. Conversations that never get deeper than emojis. Everything feels real enough — but not quite. Like living inside a game someone else is playing. And maybe we are. Simulation theory suggests this could all be code— A carefully crafted illusion. A digital stage where we perform identity, pain, purpose. But whether that’s literal or metaphorical doesn’t mat...

Noise Without Meaning

Image
We are drowning in voices. Opinions, statements, commentaries, hashtags, soundbites. Everyone’s saying something. But what’s really being said? The timeline scrolls endlessly— Buzzwords dressed as insight. Hot takes mistaken for wisdom. Outrage curated for clicks. We’ve mistaken activity for depth. Confused volume with value . In a world wired to reward immediacy, we’ve sacrificed intention. We no longer speak to understand. We speak to be seen. To be liked. To be algorithmically blessed. But where is the meaning ? You can hear the noise in every space: Podcasts that say everything and nothing. News cycles spun like slot machines. Social media threads that chase clout, not clarity. Even silence has been branded—turned into an aesthetic. “Mindfulness” now means muting the truth, not meeting it. This isn’t just a critique. It’s a reckoning. Because the more we flood the world with empty voices, The less space we leave for truth to echo. Noise is not communicat...

Emergency Alert: No One Cares

Image
BZZZZT. EMERGENCY ALERT. Wildfire. Chemical spill. Virus outbreak. AI breach. You saw it. You felt the vibration. And you scrolled. We all did. Not because we don’t care— but because we’ve been conditioned not to react . It’s not apathy. It’s emotional overload turned into numb survival . They flood our screens with warnings. Blinding red banners. Flashing texts. Urgent tones. But urgency without meaning becomes white noise. The fire is real. The surveillance is real. The food shortages, the bioengineered viruses, the cyber-hacks, the slow-motion collapse of infrastructure—it’s all real. But no one looks up anymore. Why? Because we are drowning in warnings with no action. Because the illusion of informed = prepared has replaced actual preparedness. Because people believe that if it’s that serious , surely someone else will do something. We’ve become watchers. Spectators of our own undoing. Reactors to the simulation. And the worst part? The alert system ...

After the Storm, We Forgot

Image
The sky turned black. The streets burned. Hospitals overflowed. Sirens replaced songbirds. And then— Silence. Scrolling. Business as usual. We called it survival. But it was erasure. We lived through fires that scorched the very air we breathed. Floods that swallowed homes whole. Riots that tore cities open like old wounds. A virus that stopped the world in its tracks. But ask the average person now—and they’ll shrug. “It wasn’t that bad.” “We got through it.” “Let’s not dwell.” Dwell? We didn’t dwell . We buried. We paved over trauma with productivity. We replaced mourning with memes. We traded our memories for distractions. The past decade wasn’t a movie. It was blood on the streets , bodies in freezer trucks , tears behind locked doors , and rage muffled by masks. But we were told to move on. Rebuild. Forget. So we did. We forgot how fragile the system was. How quickly it fell. How easily truth was manipulated, twisted, or deleted. We forgot who ...

The Algorithm Ate My Soul

Image
There was a time when boredom led to brilliance. Now it leads to scrolling. And scrolling. And scrolling. Welcome to the new priesthood: the Algorithm. It doesn’t wear robes. It wears code. It doesn’t offer salvation. It offers dopamine. Drip-fed. Minute by minute. Swipe by swipe. We were told AI would liberate us. But freedom doesn’t look like a curated feed. It doesn’t look like a life made up of reaction buttons, 15-second dances, and daily distractions masked as trends. Here’s the truth: The algorithm doesn’t care who you are. It only cares what keeps you addicted. It watches you longer than your own reflection does. It studies you. Anticipates you. Feeds you just enough to keep you emotionally flatlined. Your joy? Quantified. Your rage? Monetized. Your attention? Auctioned off like meat at market. You’ve become a product in your own story— A user being used. And while you’re dancing for likes, While you’re reposting recycled outrage, While you’re numb-s...
