So I recently had to move to a different part of a big city for what I thought would be a career boost. You know, the kind of move that makes you feel like you’re stepping into a whole new world with exciting opportunities and all that jazz. But nope, instead, I feel like I landed on another planet.
Take this…
How am I supposed to carry the burden of wanting to do something new or trying something new, or achieving what I want when I know I’m just too pathetic to actually do it, see it through, or even figure out how to begin?
So, what am I supposed to do, then? Just go on living this boring life, accomplishing nothing…
Hey again. So I've been staying with a friend and her mum. She always asks if we've eaten when she comes from work, before she serves herself. This morning she asked if I had eaten breakfast or just had my tea flat? Is it strange that it hurt me because I tried to think how many times my dad ever asked me that. None.…

Growing up, I recall my mom mentioning that she had an interest in doing creative art like drawing or painting alongside her love of singing, but unfortunately, she felt compelled not to pursue it because her oldest sister got all the attention for art.

it's kind of wild when the people you thought were solid start bailing on you. like, last weekend was supposed to be a chill night with friends, a chance to stuff our faces with good food and laugh a little. but as the clock ticked closer, my phone started blowing up with apologies. “sorry, can’t make it, unforeseen…
Let me start this by saying I fully acknowledge my behaviors and am no way saying this person is in the wrong.
Today I got one of the worst texts, a message from one of my close friends that I have been offending her and that my behavior has been "aggressive and condescending". I never felt my heart drop like it…
So, here's the thing: I've been on this relentless cycle of trashing my own relationship by obsessing over the littlest things. It's like my brain is hardwired to nitpick and argue over stuff that honestly shouldn't matter. Yet there I am, escalating tiny disagreements into full-blown arguments as if I'm auditioning…
So, here's my current life saga: I lost my job outta nowhere, and wow, didn't see that coming. One day I'm knee-deep in Excel sheets and budgets, feeling like I've got this whole finance thing down pat. My boss walked into the office like he was carrying a weight heavier than a ton of bricks.

So my story starts off on a one year student exchange program. 9 international students in a foreign country with 23 being from that country. she was one of the "domestic" people. in the first month we started getting really close, and yeah we started talking. we only talked for about a week, but I turned her down for…
I've got a problem. It's not drugs or booze (thank God), but it sure feels like a mess sometimes. I'm flat out addicted to shopping online, and it's starting to screw up my life big time. 😬 I've tried to kick this habit countless times, but I always seem to get sucked right back in. There's just something about…
Alright guys, let me get this off my chest. I'm in one of those long-term relationships where everything seems fine on the surface but underneath it's like there are some unspoken things just lurking around. You know what I mean?
