What if the hardest battles we fight are against doubts that were never truly ours? This isn't just a book, instead it's a quiet corner for reflection. A space to talk about the insecurities we carry, the ones that sneak into our hearts through comparison, culture, or the loud voices of social media telling us who to be. Here, we slow down and ask honest questions. Why do we feel "not enough" when standing next to someone else? Why does beauty seem measured by filters, or confidence by validation? And how can we unlearn all of that - gently, but surely? Insecurities and the Soft Art of Being Human is a growing collection of thoughts, reflections, and open conversations. It's not about perfection or pretending to have it all figured out. It's about exploring what it means to live, feel, and heal together. This space isn't about fixing yourself. It's about understanding yourself and realizing you were never broken to begin with. Welcome to a community that celebrates imperfection, courage, and kindness. Let's talk about the soft art of being human.

This should be a place for deep and emotional poems. This is just a try. My English isn't that good. So try to be respectful, if you want to critisize something. Have fun! :)

🏆 Winner of first place Ummah Awards For best short story. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• In a quiet, reflective moment, a soul reaches out to God not with anger, but with quiet confusion and a longing heart. Through fragmented thoughts and raw honesty, the narrator questions why God seems to care for others but not for them. As memories of pain, loneliness, and a desperate desire to be seen surface, the story gently explores faith, abandonment, and the aching beauty of wanting to be chosen too.
