One of my favourite things to do during the day is to unwind. Now, there are many ways for people to unwind. Some call it their “me time,” others prefer a self-care night, and some reconnect by chatting with a partner. I enjoy all these ways, but the one practice that feels most natural to me is when my hand holds a pen. That is my true form of unwinding—clarifying and decluttering my mind from the daily hustle. And I know millions like me turn to writing and reading to unravel their endless, spiralling thoughts.
Our mind is like a labyrinth, a never-ending maze bustling with ideas. In this fast, chaotic world, human beings are TRULY struggling with their own minds. Why? Because we have little space for our so-called irrelevant ideas. We constantly analyze what seems relevant, which often finds its way out of the labyrinth. But the irrelevant gets stuck—so stuck that our brain forgets about its existence.
When I write, I make space for the vague, foggy, sometimes immaterial thoughts. They may not always feel relevant to public concern, but they carry deep human emotions. To me, they are just as valuable. What may seem irrelevant to the world can hold immense relevance to you. That is why I write every idea that crosses my mind—hoping to build a community of open-minded individuals who enjoy exploring this world of labyrinthine thoughts. It’s a safe zone for your vague yet relevant reflections, shared over coffee nights or brainstorming sessions (coffee optional!).
The major question arises: How does consuming words really help with the entire process of unspiralling?
When we write, read, or consume literature, we give our thoughts a tangible form. It’s like holding a map to escape the maze, or at least to take a step forward inside the labyrinth. This is the essence of reflections in writing—you see your thoughts right in front of you. That moment makes you feel in control, even when life feels like it’s slipping away.
Cogito, ergo sum—“therefore I am”—the timeless philosophy of René Descartes shows how the human mind is incapable of silence. We are compelled to think, to question, to imagine. That is why we need a space for every thought, relevant or irrelevant. With writing, none of them vanish inside the labyrinth forever.
What’s truly unique about this process of reflection is how it allows me to pause and see my labyrinthine thoughts on paper. Nothing feels too clustered anymore—as if the walls of the maze have simply disappeared. Many can relate: writing is where you meet your human emotions, challenge them, and eventually unravel them.
And when does it get better? It gets better when writing frees us from competitiveness. We already live in a rat race, constantly asked to “come straight to the point.” But writing never demands speed. Instead, it asks you to stop, be honest, and unwind. No need for perfect words or catchy lines—only your messy, chaotic, yet authentic self.
In this fast-paced world, I want to build space for those who enjoy twisting words, never rushing to a conclusion, and embracing the vague. Every word still carries relevance. This community doesn’t require formality—only an open mind and respect for the human emotions we all share.
I don’t want to confine this process to personal expression alone. Writing can give birth to novel ideas, fresh perspectives, and even tolerance for contradictory opinions. That’s what we are building: a community that honours both relevant and irrelevant ideas, that treasures reflections, and that believes no labyrinthine thought is too insignificant to be heard.
So, I encourage everyone to draw meaning from my words and shape new perspectives of their own. I would love to hear diverse voices, to celebrate the unique ways others unravel their inner maze.

So, grab your coffee or tea, settle into your favourite corner, and give relevance to your vague ideas. Remember: no thought is ever truly irrelevant if it appears in your mind. Even the most chaotic human emotions deserve space, validation, and the chance to unwind.
Happy Writing—and may your labyrinth always lead you to yourself.
