On the early years, having only few friends was a hard pill for me to swallow. I joined some sort of group activities for the hope of finding new sets of friends.

No one talks about how hard falling out of love is. you feel guilty, cold; you wonder how you could or why you feel this way, but it doesn't change the fact that you feel nothing when you kiss him. it feels wrong, and you're so afraid to hurt a person that you still care so much about-- a person who looks at you as if you are the reason the stars shine at night. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I keep seeing this and I want to talk about it. Productivity is NOT always completing your whole to do list, or studying till late night or waking up early in the morning. Sometimes, it's just getting up and having breakfast and not doing anything else. It's okay to take a break or just do one thing. This whole toxic culture of productivity that has become common is not right. Of course, that doesn't mean slacking off everyday, but it also doesn't mean beating yourself up for not being productive enough. Life is hard and you're making it harder by pushing yourself down this way. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I used to put everyone else's requests and needs first and if there was any time left over at the end of the day for what I needed and wanted to do, that's acceptable.  That is until I began to realize that if you and I are going to be  effective time managers, we have to stay away from allocating our time  solely on the basis of those who demand it. Instead, if you and I are going to be effective time managers, we have to allocate our time on the  basis of those who deserve it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

I'm convinced that what hurts us the most in life is lack of clarity. It's the not having closure, always wondering, being confused part of the bad things that happen to us that destroy us. Because when we don't know the answer to something we really want to know the answer to, we can't stop thinking about it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Life has a way of making sure we end up where we need to be, but we need to be ready to embrace the opportunities that come disguised as barriers.

Ghosting is by far one of the most prevalent dating issues facing our generation. It is the act of disappearing from someone's life with no explanation.

Given the choice between a LDR and a “regular” relationship, the only reason to choose the LDR is if you really think the person involved in the LDR is worth it. Otherwise, save yourself the trouble and go for someone a little closer to home. Now, if you are on the LDR route, you've probably realized that while you are missing your partner, there are many things you do well together. It is important to keep to a positive attitude, to focus on what's good about your relationship rather than focusing on the distance. That's all well and good, but how exactly do you do that? --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Why would you hold onto a personality with a death grip, when you can accept it and hold onto it lightly, and let it be.

When trends should be about interesting, exciting news in the world or health trends, they decide to take the route of “thigh gaps” and what hair color is the most attractive. With all these being so normalized, a seed is planted in the minds of little boys and girls. But instead of this seed growing into a self-loving tree, it would begin to tear a person apart from inside out. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

This episode is all about me! I know I'm just over here throwing myself a pity party and being really vague about it to boot. (Which I hate, just ask my dad.)

It is perfectly normal to feel bad when someone wounds you. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
