If you are curious, want to be free of stress, anxiety, fear, a restless mind, autoimmune disease, attachments, and improve your relationships, you've come to the right place.
Here’s a quick introduction for anyone who just stumbled upon this site. I’m ZZ, and I write about a host of different topics. If you are here, you were meant to find me. Good. I like you already. I hope you will find some value in my writing. It’s not necessarily for the faint-hearted, but it is honest and from the heart.
I write about topics like:
Overcoming fear and anxiety
Relationships, communication
Family and parenting
Perspectives and their importance
Discussing ideas and concepts
Managing stress and emotions
Artificial intelligence, space, governance
Philosophy, spirituality, and religion
Life, death, and everything in between
