trauma
At its core, trauma can be thought of as the psychological wounds that persist, even when the physical ones are long gone.
The Mirror That Forgot Me. AI-Generated.
I used to trust mirrors. They were honest. Brutally honest. They didn’t lie like people did — didn’t flatter, didn’t soften, didn’t pretend. Every morning, my reflection greeted me with the same tired eyes, the same half-committed smile, the same quiet acceptance of who I was.

Aurora by Stefano Labbia: Why we need films that tell our hiddens truths
We often think of cinema as spectacle—as grand gestures, sweeping vistas, and technological marvels. And yes, there is a place for that kind of awe. But the truest, most profound power of film doesn't reside in the size of the screen or the scale of the effects. It is found in its extraordinary capacity to reach into the quiet corners of our shared humanity, to articulate the silent struggles we all carry, and to knit us together through the simple, powerful act of storytelling. The magic is in the resonance. It is in the undeniable click of recognition when a story on screen mirrors a piece of the story within our own hearts, making us feel, fundamentally, less isolated.

It’s a living, adaptable organ capable of renewal, repair, and growth at any age — if we give it the right conditions.

The Only Thing I Remember About School.
Most people I know can recall both happy and bad times at school. I recently discussed this with a friend who smiled as she told me about her favourite playground games, passing her exams, friends, boyfriends, lessons, and her most enjoyable pursuit of all time, chasing boyfriends. She also remembered getting into petty arguments in the playground and disagreements she had with teachers.
