People should be careful about caffeine withdrawals if they are heavily invested into it and try to avoid midday headache😖. And also watch for the drops in blood glucose and build your daily schedule around it. This was a superb read.
I’ve never had a little sister.
I am the little sister. Deeply, unquestionably a little sister to two beautiful, accomplished, fit, over educated, poised women who are both fiscally responsible and ethically moral. And annoyingly, their perfection has…
I’ve been here before. It’s as if I’ve been running for so long that I don’t know what it means to stand still, except here I am, at the edge of a cliff, nowhere else to run. Behind me is the life that I’m leaving, that I’ve been running from instead of facing. Ahead…

Thank you Chris Mncpageant Lansdale for sharing your story. I enjoyed reading your unique experience of how you turned to books as a way of connecting with the world.

It sounds like a cool project you’re working on, Nathaniel S. Soria.
I’m not sure if the move to e-readers has encouraged non-readers to start picking up a book. According to this 2016 study by Pew Research Center, the percentage of Americans who’ve read a book has remained pretty steady since 2011, with the majority of…

Thanks for sharing your positive experiences of choosing not to drink. My case is a little more extreme.
Basically I had to stop drinking because it was killing me — long story but it began a few years back after I had gastric bypass surgery to control my weight (and treat type 2 diabetes).
As a freelance web developer in London, I love working from cafes. I love the hubbub, the change of pace and space, and I love that the hiking from cafe to cafe allows me to explore my city.

Life asks so much of us, and many times we get lost in thinking that we must meet all the demands that this world puts on us. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with our daily tasks, because it is truly impossible to do everything that needs to be done. The more we accomplish on…
I grew up in a town of about 600 people in the woods of Northern Minnesota. In many ways, life there was compact. My K-12 years were all spent in the same school building, with more-or-less the same…
What does this really mean? Isn’t it opposite to your previous stance: loving oneself in the present vs working towards the future self?
If I give up my dream of who I want to become, and endorse my present state of being, isn’t it counterproductive?
People say that all the time. But what does it really mean?
I love the idea of doing deep work. The whole concept of doing a deep dive into your most important work of the day during the early morning hours is exciting to me.
When I was a Christian, I was aware that sometimes people in my circle Lost Faith. They stopped going to their church meetings and talking about God and praying. They were usually teenagers who subsequently started having sex and experimenting with alcohol and drugs.
Hope is amazing, it can make a person fight longer or run faster or even hold out for just a little longer when all is lost. I wonder is hope a good thing or bad? I mean the guy who fought longer because of hope and won would tell you yes. But let’s not forget the other half, the one who fought longer out of hope and…

Blog #5 Mothers Day
So Mother’s Day looms. It’s on Sunday the 14th, today is Friday. My Mother lies in her bed, largely absent and near the end of her life. There is no need for a tea, a cake, even flowers for her. Just some time spent sitting here, maybe trying to get her to eat.

Maybe you are a racist but I am not admitting to a complete bunch of BS because you and many others that have “read Privilege“ one too many times, have decided to embrace racism as a common and perfectly normal human attribute.

Tattered and torn
I’m a big fan of setting goals. Even if they were things I didn’t end up working on for years, knowing that I had written down a list of things I wanted to achieve and my mind was unconsciously working towards me was motivating.
What is it like to live and learn in Krems?
When its time to come inside, it cannot be all in free, or can it?
En una bocanada en la ventana a la madruga, recreada a tu imagen y semejanza, de misterio. Siempre quise saber en que pensabas, que pasaba por tu mente cuando te aislabas y te ahogabas en el humo, en la oscuridad de noches vacías.

What does peace look like to you? Not peace in the world, but inner peace, peace of the mind, body and heart. For me, peace looks like a quiet mind in the sense that I don’t think constantly about what’s next, or about what action I need to be taking now. Peace means…

It really comes down to content. Each medium can be good for learning if it’s educational in the first place. I love historical/fiction books like Rutherford’s “Paris” because I’m entertained and educated. Each medium, books or television, can be good if the content makes us think. Where television fails is the ridiculous percentage of brainless…

My mentor is none other than my elder brother “Saad Toufique”. He is just 2 years older than me but he had always supported me in every point of time in my life. During my school life I was a dull student so he took my responsibility and took lots and lots of tests to prepare me for my board…
Prisoners.
We’ve become prisoners in a place where all there is, is nothing but empty feelings, fake promises and recycled “I love you"’s. We’ve become prisoners to low self-esteem, insecurities and physical abuse done by our very own partner. We’ve become nothing more than an scoreboard, an ego race or just another name on…
Lots of us are afraid to be open about our talk era or loves because of rejection, expectation, or any number of reasons, but how will we ever become something we love when we won’t let ourselves. Thank you for the article really great!

About 200 million people are estimated to be unemployed in 2017. Though there is no way to calculate a number for people going through heart break but let’s give it a try.
The Calculation Part
Random act of kindness
As a kid, my parents taught me an important lesson of a being kind to others. Not just mine but every parent taught their kids to be kind. Yes, they deserve a grand applause to raise us as a kind human being. But the question is “are we kind to everyone or just opportunistic?”
Limits, like fear, are often an illusion. — Michael Jordan
At different stages of my life I’ve encountered various learning challenges; from learning to drive a car, to learning to program in java, but none has been more challenging than that of the Andela bootcamp (Day 1 self learning clinic).
