Gut Feeling
An encounter in an infinite universe…A comfort as if you’ve known each other for years, so natural, so relax…Yet secretly a quiet distance remains. It’s hard to call it a gain or a loss. Neither good nor bad. Perhaps this is exactly what we mean by being. One can feel close without knowing. Maybe not at…

The Surreal Nature of Grief and Memory
Exactly 21 years ago today, one of the events that changed the way I look at lifeö perhaps the very first. took place. For the first time, I saw how people I had perceived as solid and unshakable in childhood could be completely shattered by an unexpected blow. I saw everyone at their weakest. I…

My Journey Through Social Disconnect
The text is about me. It’s more of an analysis of myself and a conversation with myself. Photo by Samuel Austin on Unsplash Throughout my life, the feeling I’ve had has always been the same: on the outside, normal and adaptive; on the inside, a few steps removed from the flow of the world. I…

Engineering vs Art: The Battle of Functionality and Expression
No, I’m not going to talk about Leonardo Da Vinci. I’m going to talk more about how far engineering actually is from art. There is an ego that comes with engineering education, and many wrong assumptions that come with it. For example, engineers solve problems. That’s true. And as problems get solved, the ego grows.…

The trees aren’t blooming, the leaves aren’t shining.They are slowly fading, disappearing.Just like people.Yet unlike our sorrow, death…

Why Cleaning is a Trap: The Real Cost of Consumerism
There’s probably no activity I hate more than cleaning.A completely useless waste of time. We already spend our days at work, then sacrifice sleep and health to carve out a bit of free time—and filling that time with cleaning feels like the ultimate human helplessness. And no, I don’t mean “if I don’t do it,…

Navigating Life’s Silence: My Journey of Rediscovery
Stuck, not silent I haven’t been able to write for a while. Yes — it’s not that I’m not writing, it’s that I can’t write. When I look back at my old pieces, it feels like someone else wrote them. How did I find that strength, that inspiration, that will to write back then? Usually…

Career
Envying the Determined When I see people who are steady and know exactly what they’re doing, I sometimes envy them. They move forward with persistence and determination, fully embracing their path, without letting other things distract them. It’s as if what they’re doing is the absolute right thing—the only path worth following. But when I…

Lawn Mover
I shut down my computer, packed my bag, and, as usual, I was the last one to leave work. As I walked toward the car, something caught my eye: the lawn mower. Quietly and patiently, it was mowing the grass, inch by inch. The office had closed, everyone was gone, but it was still working.…
