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...

The Silence of the Herd

Image
There was a time when even a whisper against injustice could set fires in the hearts of millions. Today, most would rather scroll, nod, and stay quiet as the world collapses around them. Why? Because comfort is a drug. Because safety is a leash. Because indoctrination is a cage they never learned to see. The silence of the herd isn’t accidental. It’s been engineered . From the moment we are born, we are trained to obey — not to question, not to resist, not to even notice the chains tightening around us. They sell fear wrapped in promises: "Stay quiet, and you’ll stay safe." "Follow the rules, and you’ll be rewarded." "Don’t make waves, and you’ll be accepted." And it works. It works because the human spirit, once fierce and wild, has been domesticated — slowly, silently, over generations — until most people now choose the pen without ever seeing the open fields beyond it. The economy crumbles. The skies roar with unnatural storms. Governme...

Abandoned by the System: The Loneliness of Being a Patient Without a Voice

Image
  There is a unique kind of loneliness that comes with being sick— a solitude that doesn’t come from isolation, but from being unheard, unseen, and dismissed. For countless patients, the healthcare system isn’t just broken—it’s a fortress designed to keep them out. Doors close. Calls go unanswered. Symptoms are ignored. And the deeper they fall into illness, the more invisible they become. They don’t just suffer in pain. They suffer in silence. The Deep Isolation of Being Ignored Imagine feeling your body fail you while every doctor tells you, "It's nothing serious." Imagine explaining your symptoms over and over, only to be met with a shrug, a dismissive glance, or a rushed prescription that doesn’t even address the problem. Imagine realizing that if you don’t fight for yourself, no one else will. For many patients, this is not hypothetical. It is reality. Doctors dismiss them. They’re labeled as complainers, attention-seekers, or hypochondriacs. Friends and family s...

The Mental Weight of Chronic Illness: How Being Ignored Breaks the Spirit

Image
  There’s a kind of pain that goes deeper than the body— the pain of not being believed. For millions living with chronic illness, the battle isn’t just against physical symptoms. It’s against a healthcare system that dismisses them, a society that misunderstands them, and a medical industry that too often refuses to listen. The weight of being ignored, misdiagnosed, or outright gaslit by doctors doesn’t just hurt—it destroys mental health, erodes self-worth, and leaves patients feeling completely alone. This is what happens when pain is treated as an inconvenience rather than a reality. Medical Gaslighting: When Patients Are Dismissed Instead of Helped “You’re just stressed.” “Maybe it’s all in your head.” “You don’t look sick.” “Have you tried losing weight?” “Maybe you just need more sleep.” For those with chronic illnesses, these phrases are more common than real answers. Medical gaslighting happens when doctors dismiss or downplay symptoms, making patients question their ...

How We Fix a Broken System: Solutions for Affordable and Ethical Healthcare

Image
  We’ve seen the failures. We’ve exposed the greed. Now it’s time to talk about solutions. The healthcare system isn’t just flawed—it’s designed to prioritize profits over people . But just because the system is broken doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed. Real change won’t come from waiting on policymakers or corporations to suddenly grow a conscience. It will come from us—from patients, advocates, and communities demanding a better way. So how do we take back control? How do we create a healthcare system that serves people, not profit margins? Let’s break it down. 1. Alternative Healthcare Models – Looking Beyond Corporate Medicine The current system thrives on gatekeeping, inflated costs, and bureaucracy. But there are models that offer quality care without financial ruin. Direct Primary Care (DPC): Patients pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited visits, cutting out insurance middlemen and lowering costs. Community Health Clinics: Nonprofit clinics provide affordable or free care b...
