How to Make People Feel Good About Themselves
There was a time when I didn’t want to reach out to others about my personal problems because I didn’t need help solving them (presumptuous I know) I didn’t want people knowing too much I didn’t want to bother them Looking back, I see how self debilitating these views were. They prevented me from connecting,…

Phoebe was the best Friends character
The Friends TV show has always been one of my favourite series. If you don’t know the show, it follows a group of 7 friends through the ups and downs of life. Their jobs are jokes, they’re broke, and their love life’s DOA. But every time I rewatch the series (and thats so often I’ve…

I took a deep breath as I felt weights remove themselves from my shoulder. I was never really one with a deep burning passion. Growing up I was ambivalent about where i wanted to go, what i wanted to be. Days would pass by where I would just zone out thinking “What is my passion?”.…

“Sometimes you need to make the wrong decision multiple times, so you can finally make the right one”- Anna Akana
I’ve made bad decisions. Are they disastrous, abominable, preposterously horrific? No, they’re bad decisions. Now I don’t really believe in regrets in life.
