Unsure of what major to pursue. No hobbies. I had ambition but no real direction or drive to guide me. I don’t know why this question is having such an impact on me, but the thought of being able to redo the past decade, knowing what I do now ..read more

What do you want? More money? A different job? A better relationship? Wrong. You want to be happy. Those are things that you think will make you happy. And they likely will to an extent. These things can relieve stress and certainly increase your quality of life, but people can achieve these things and still be unhappy. Why? They say that money can’t buy happiness. While it can certainly make life easier, if you haven’t learned how to be happy internally, all the money in the world can’t buy that for you. So, despite your external circumstanc ..read more

I was dodging collector’s calls like they were charging bulls. I blocked most of these numbers on my phone, but sometimes a new one would come in. I would immediately recognize from the beginning of the number which account this was about and would roll my eyes. Of course, I would never actually answer the phone. What could I even say? “Don’t you think I would pay you if I could? I would love to get you off my back.” No, I would only imagine the conversation and decline the call. At the end of the day I would delete all the voicemails that were left so that there wouldn’t b ..read more

Mornings suck. When I wake up in the morning, I am straight up not having a good time. In the past I have tried and failed to start early routines so many times I can’t keep count. It is a known fact in my house not to talk to me before 8am. I want those extra few minutes of sleep, I don’t want to see you, and I don’t want to hear those damn happy birds chirping outside. And I’m not alone. There are plenty of us who despise early risers and everything they stand for. It’s not that I despise you, it’s just that you annoy me you ambitious showoff. I ..read more
