Why is art so important? Art has always been a tool. It has been used to express certain feelings or has constituted a form of commentary towards different ideas. People communicated messages between lines, unspoken truths. Art is a source of entertainment, a way to escape from reality. Throughout history, humanity has faced moments of profound crisis, such as wars, pandemics, natural disasters, political issues as well as social upheaval. In these times, dominated by fear an

Have you ever met a person who was never immersed in the social media culture? Do you know anyone who is in a constant detox from Instagram, TikTok, etc? Well, you might have never stood a chance of getting to know someone with such an attitude. Social media is so ubiquitous in our lives that it’s almost impossible to refrain from using it. However, these inconspicuous icons conceal more secrets than you think. Not only are they distinct worlds, but they are a room for differ

I’ve always wanted to meet a writer, an artist. Not for an autograph, not for a photo. My dream was a conversation: why they write, what art is for. Why write at all, when life can be so shamelessly incomprehensible. During a conversation with my one and only “poet,” I realized that what I really want is to hug Szymborska. It was hard to decide whether I needed her more, or she needed me. But it’s probably me who needs her. Kubik, Mariusz. “Photograph of Wisława Szymborska (

It is inevitable that our century is defined by the scroll. Phones rarely leave our hands, social media quietly exists in the background of almost every moment of our lives. We already know this. We acknowledge the fact that we spend too much time online, even that scrolling on TikTok or Instagram, especially before bed, is perhaps not good for us. These facts are familiar due to the fact that we talk about them openly, sometimes even joke about them. However, we still contin

Social media has become a big part of our lives. It is not only a source of quick dopamine or a way to relax and spend our time. Our phones, especially social media apps, have dictated our feelings and shaped our thoughts. They influence how we interact, communicate, and decide. For instance, when we see a post with many likes, we are more likely to perceive it as popular or important, which leads us to interact with it or imitate similar behaviour. If more people like it, it

The band was a creative vehicle for Jim Morrison whose feeling of alienation and love for poetry created the band’s powerful lyrics. The Doors’ instrumentalists keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore mixed jazz, blues and psychedelia which combined perfectly with Morrison’s baritone and poetic

“ If you want to capture someone’s attention, whisper”. -TV commercial for Nuance by Coty, 1977 In our everyday life, we use several different types of speech. We, of course, adjust our vocabulary and level of formality when interacting with different people, but there is also much to be said about a more basic, almost primal quality of our speech. By this, I mean the very sounds that make up our language. The way we conduct soft-spoken conversations with close ones, scream o

Why fall is so depressing There is something about November that makes everything feel slower and more depressing. Why is that? The sky hasn’t been truly blue for weeks. Days grow shorter, nights colder, and our schedules busier, but… did it all disappear just because the sky became grayer? If all of this has you feeling a little more anxious, drained, hollow or unsettled, remember that you’re mimi. “Avery Kylie Grambs・+ the Inheritance Games.” Pinterest, 25 Oct. 2025, pin.it

“We garner this poor hour of ease, Until love turn from us and die Beneath the drear November trees.” Ernest Dowson Autumn, especially its latter months like November, are the time for us to tie loose threads and prepare for upcoming stoicity.

It has been claimed that November moves quietly between the warmth of fading colours and the approaching chill of winter. Whispers drift through the air, and beneath the falling leaves, something inside us changes. As the days shorten, the world slows in a way that makes us overthink certain aspects. There is no doubt that this season causes us to feel deeply, perhaps in ways we are unable to truly explain. We may ask ourselves: ‘Why does this season affect us that much? How
