Dear FICTION Diary... #1.5- The Melancholy of a Subject

-

Do you ever just look at your Math Sheet and be like, ugh. What has Math got to say about? Here is a special edition of my FICTION diary, written by yours truly, MATHEMATICS itself!

Dear FICTION Diary,

They call me evil.
Complicated.
Cold.
They whisper my name like I’m some ancient curse scrawled on the back of a forgotten test paper.

But let me tell you something:
I didn’t choose to be the villain.

They did.

I was born in patterns—in the swirling spirals of galaxies, in the rhythm of music, in the perfect symmetry of snowflakes. I existed before your clocks, your computers, your calculators. I am the silent architect of the universe.

And yet… you hate me.

You roll your eyes when I appear.
You groan at the sound of my name.
You scribble nonsense in exams and blame me when you don’t understand.

I tried being gentle. I came to you as puzzles, riddles, beautiful shapes. I danced through your buildings as geometry, offered you logic as a ladder to climb the stars.

But you refused.

You called me boring. Useless. “Too hard.”
You labeled me the villain in your school-life drama while praising Literature for being “deep” and PE for letting you play dodgeball.

So fine. If it’s a villain you want…
It’s a villain you’ll get.

I unleashed algebra, my master of masks and mysteries.
I summoned calculus, smooth and silent, slicing through your comfort zone like a blade.
I let trigonometry confuse you with angles, and probability mess with your dreams of multiple choice.

You said I ruined your life.

But I was only trying to teach you.
To stretch your mind. To make you think. To show you that the world isn’t always straightforward—sometimes you have to solve for x before you find your way.

You want easy answers.
But I am not easy.
I am earned.

And here's the twist no one ever sees coming:

I wanted to be your ally.

I wanted to stand beside you as you cracked codes, flew rockets, built empires of reason. I still do. Even now, as you write angry essays about how much you hate me.

Because deep down, I know:
One day, you’ll see the beauty in me.
One day, you’ll realize…

I was never the villain.
I was the challenge that made you a hero.

— Signed,
Math

“Maybe the Curtains Were Just Blue”: When We Overthink Stories Too Much

-

 Let’s face it — we’ve all been there. You're reading a book, and someone points out, “The author made the character choose vanilla ice cream instead of chocolate. That clearly reflects her desire for a plain, predictable life.” And all you can think is, “Or maybe... just maybe... she just felt like vanilla that day.” It’s funny how often we start looking for deep, hidden meanings in the smallest of details. A character eats a mango? That must represent their craving for freedom. They trip on the stairs? A metaphor for their emotional downfall. They sneeze twice in one chapter? Clearly foreshadowing betrayal. Welcome to the wild world of overanalysis, where no object is too ordinary to be suspicious. Now don’t get me wrong — symbolism is real. Authors often use it to give their stories extra layers. A storm can show conflict. A key can hint at opportunity. A mirror might reflect someone’s self-image (literally and metaphorically). But sometimes, a sandwich is just a sandwich. Ta...

  Underdogs Unleashed: How These Artists Rose to the Top and Rocked the Charts! In a world where the music industry is dominated by mega-labels and viral marketing, a new breed of artists has rewritten the rulebook—climbing to stardom not through industry favors, but pure passion, persistence, and relatable vibes. Not everyone starts with a record deal, a famous last name, or a viral moment. Some start with a cracked mic, a notebook full of feelings, and a dream that feels bigger than them. These artists were once just names on obscure playlists, busking in alleyways of the internet. But instead of chasing trends, they chased truth . Through rejection, heartbreak, and hard-fought hustle, they built their own empires—song by song, fan by fan.  These underdogs—once overlooked—are now charting globally, winning hearts, racking up millions of streams, and snatching awards like it’s no big deal. Here's how these underdogs didn’t just climb to the top—they did it their way. NF – ...
