A kaleidoscope of darkness
Out of all the Greek islands, I am back here, at the honeymoon spot. What was I thinking, self punishment or a dark kind of reminiscence? Either way, years have passed, a bit more than twenty to be precise and yet there is still that strange quality I possess, taking the positive out of a kaleidoscope of darkness and from negative whispers in the night.

The Silent Epidemic of Hyper-Connected Loneliness
How Hyper-Connected Loneliness Is Stealing Our Happiness in the Digital Age Have you ever wondered how we can feel so alone when we’re more connected than ever?

The Scream That No One Hears: Reflections on Suicide and the Invisibility of Psychic Pain in Contemporary Society. Content Warning.
Abstract: This article proposes a reflection on suicide based on statistical data, sociocultural analysis, and the observation of the silent signs emitted by people in psychic suffering. Although the alarming numbers are widely known, society still maintains negligent attitudes toward mental pain. The goal is to discuss how emotional invisibility and the trivialization of depression contribute to the continuation of a phenomenon that, in many cases, could be prevented. The analysis is based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), studies in social psychology, and media reports about public figures who have revealed their own vulnerabilities. It concludes that there is an urgent need to change paradigms regarding mental health, fostering empathy, active listening, and welcoming attitudes.
