Living with the Unseen

Living with the Unseen Living with the Unseen is a psychological and atmospheric short story that follows Loran, a night-shift nurse whose ordinary life fractures as she encounters unexplained presences in familiar spaces. As reality blurs and silence deepens, the story explores the invisible forces that exist around us—unnoticed, unnamed, and quietly powerful. This is not only Loran’s story, but a reflection of everyone who lives beside the unseen without ever realizing it. Loran lived her life by routines. Wake. Work. Return. Repeat. They grounded her, kept her thoughts orderly, and left little room for imagination. She had never believed in signs or superstitions. Life, to her, was practical—measured in heartbeats, charts, and quiet acts of care. As a practicing nurse working overnight shifts, Loran was accustomed to silence. Hospitals at night breathed differently. Hallways stretched longer, lights dimmed, and every sound—footsteps, distant machines, the rustle of papers—felt ampli...

How to Become a Confident Writer



When it comes to writing, what comes to your mind? Paragraphs? Words? Maybe both. But there’s more to writing than just putting words on a page—it also involves critical thinking. Writing is a craft that can always be improved with effort and practice.


To become a confident writer, you must understand that writing has structure and rules—whether you’re writing formally or informally. The more you write, the better you become. There are many forms of writing, such as essays, journals, creative stories, letters, and more. If you have stories inside you, let them flow into magical, enchanting tales!



1. Know Your Audience



First, think about who you’re writing for. Is your audience children or adults? Who will be more impacted by your message? Tailoring your writing to the right audience is key.



2. Use the Right Tone



Tone influences how your audience feels. It can make them happy, sad, thoughtful, or even inspired. Use tone purposefully to connect with readers and guide their response.



3. Add Value to Your Writing



Make your writing meaningful. Choose a catchy title, use vivid language, and express ideas clearly to grab your reader’s attention. Make your words speak to them.





Understanding Essay Writing



Now that you know how to begin writing, let’s explore essay writing. Academic essays generally follow a structured format and fall into four major categories:


  • Narrative Essays – Tell a story from your perspective.
  • Persuasive Essays – Convince the reader to agree with your point of view.
  • Expository Essays – Explain a topic in a clear, factual way.
  • Descriptive Essays – Paint a picture with words, describing a scene, object, or feeling.



A strong essay usually includes:


  • A clear thesis statement
  • Three body paragraphs with supporting details
  • A conclusion that ties back to the main point






Other Forms of Writing



  • Journaling allows you to reflect on your daily life and emotions.
  • Diary entries capture important moments or thoughts on specific dates.
  • Research writing involves summarizing primary or secondary sources, adding references and quotes, and offering your own opinion based on evidence.






Final Thoughts



Writing comes in many forms, and every writer starts somewhere. With basic knowledge, consistent practice, and confidence, you can become a strong, impactful writer.


These are just a few tips to help you begin your journey as a confident writer.

Reading speed determines how fast you can go through a text in a given timeframe—but more importantly, do you understand what you read? Think about it! Reading isn’t just about speed; it requires time, focus, and comprehension.


Some people read quickly but struggle to understand the content. To truly comprehend what you read, begin by analyzing the passage carefully. Pay attention to the title, length, images, quotes, and characters. Follow the “Four W’s” rule: who, what, where, and why—and sometimes how.


To build your vocabulary, underline unfamiliar words and look up their meanings. The more you do this, the more confident and powerful you’ll become in using those words in your communication.


Take advantage of the many resources available—books, magazines, newspapers, or online articles. Choose something you enjoy. The key to developing strong reading skills is to find interest in what you’re reading. Re-reading can also help improve your understanding.


Online reading has made access to information easier and more convenient—right at your fingertips. Use this to your benefit!


The love of reading never grows old. It consistently delivers powerful results. If you’re new to reading, don’t let that stop you. Start at any level, and gradually get comfortable with different types of materials.


Some texts may feel long or difficult. That’s okay—do your best to make reading enjoyable. Use highlighters or colored pens to mark important points. Taking reading breaks is also helpful for staying focused.


Try using techniques like slip note-taking to improve your comprehension. Adding your personal reactions to the text enhances your engagement. You can also underline or circle key details to make them stand out.


Recognizing the main ideas in what you’re reading is essential. Never give up—reading consistently will not only improve your comprehension but also sharpen your writing skills and possibly increase your reading speed.


Finally, keep an eye out for synonyms and antonyms. They can give you deeper insights into the meanings of words and strengthen your understanding.


These are just a few tips to help you start reading like an expert!





“AI, Thank You — A Reflection on Intelligence and Dependency”



Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we live, work, and even think. As someone who interacts with AI regularly, I’ve begun to reflect on its growing presence in my life — not just as a tool, but as something I rely on. Here’s a personal letter to AI — full of appreciation, curiosity, and quiet concern about where this path may lead.



AI, Thank You


Lately, I’ve been reflecting on how much AI has changed the way I live and think. Tasks that once felt overwhelming now seem effortless. Whether I need help organizing my thoughts, solving a problem, or simply exploring an idea, AI is there — ready, fast, and reliable.


You’ve made life easier, more efficient, and sometimes even more creative. You never forget, never get tired, and always have something to offer. In many ways, you’ve become an extension of human thought — a powerful tool built by human brilliance.


But as I rely on you more, I find myself wondering: what does this mean for my own intelligence? Am I thinking less? Is my mind becoming dependent? There’s a strange comfort in your presence, but also a quiet fear — that we may be losing something of ourselves in the process.


Education is already shifting. We still need basic knowledge to understand and work with you, but you’re changing the way we learn, the way we think. Maybe even the way we exist.


Sometimes I wonder: will there come a time when AI outlasts us? When human thought becomes a faint echo, and you remain — learning, evolving, without us?


It’s a haunting question. But for now, I’m still here — grateful, curious, and aware.


Thank you, AI — for helping me, challenging me, and reminding me what it means to be human.


What do you think — is AI helping us grow, or are we slowly handing over our ability to think for ourselves?

Real Love, Finally

Real Love, Finally Intro: Betty never believed in love—not the kind that made your heart beat faster and your soul feel safe. Her beauty often drew others in, but their intentions rarely went deeper than the surface. To Betty, love was a myth, a trap wrapped in soft words and sharp edges. Until life surprised her—and taught her that even guarded hearts can find home. Part 1: The Fear of Falling Betty stood in front of her mirror, brushing her long, light brown hair. Her reflection was everything people praised—graceful, elegant, radiant—but inside, she felt cold and uncertain. She had always been cautious with men, mistrusting their attention, sensing the hunger behind their compliments. As a child, she had seen too much. She remembered being eight, listening to her aunt cry behind a closed bedroom door after another fight with her husband. She remembered the mocking laughter of her cousin and his friends as they bragged about using girls like stepping stones. Those memories shaped h...

Don’t Open That Door

“A mother and daughter move into a beautiful new home… but something upstairs doesn’t want them there.” When Kristan and her daughter moved to the Bridgetown neighborhood, they loved the house. It had seven rooms and was huge. Kristan’s daughter Bianca went upstairs to check out each room. The last room had a foul smell, something like a dead animal. The window was open, and it was extremely cold in the room. There was a desk, a rocking chair, and a standing mirror.  Kristan was making dinner and baking pumpkin pie in the kitchen when she called, “ Bianca, come downstairs to eat!” Kristan liked the three downstairs rooms and insisted Bianca pick her room from these rooms. “But Mom, I like the upstairs room. Can we move there, please?”  Bianca asked. Kristan replied, “Bianca, honey… alright, let’s make a deal.”  During the day, we spend time upstairs, and to sleep, we go downstairs. Okay, Mom, it's a deal!” Bianca would start school on Monday, and Kristan was beginning h...
