Apologies for the long comment in advance — it really should be my own article. However, your article has had me deep in thought about you, and a response on my blog would be even more lengthy, since I directly reference this writing.

To me, the word ‘passion’ is overused and somewhat elusive in the world we live in today. Throughout the three tightly-packed, suffocatingly busy years of college I have lived through so far, I have struggled with and against that word.
Today is my 34th birthday. In every year leading up to this, I’ve never revealed my actual age. Always saying I’m turning 24 again because, women hate growing old. But today I’m beautifully reminded that it could’ve been taken from me at any moment during the last year and today, on my…

I too had gave, my interview two times on phone. I messed up the first one, I was speaking like a confused person.
But now I am a bit more clear. Your tips made clear sense to me.
Very great strategies. It’s really a perfect way to keep your brain engaged while learning something. I like the idea of “what might happen next.” It motivates you to think.
Wow. Awesomely written, and very fascinating perspective to me, ad a “big guy”, I often find myself in similar situations or thought patterns as you did, and do.
Thank you for indulging those asked you to write about your experience. Getting the “run down” from someone who was and still is in the process is very different…

It’s easy to defer to the experts to tell you what to do, or what to say, or how to handle a situation. I mean, they’re the experts for a reason right?
And why it’s more important to persevere through than go home to wash your hands.

Sometimes something comes through you, rather like giving birth to a baby. Once it is born and finds its own feet, you can look at it with detachment, and realize that it is not yours, it has a life of its own.
It appears that all of us are looking for this feeling.

Something I recently learnt is there is nothing that you can not or will not be able to achieve. Even when you are at your lowest point. You have hope.
This all comes with moulding your mentality and the predetermining your future.
I’m losing control over myself. The prospect of what’s to come might have had me paralyzed with fear.
Overall, an interesting read. I found another reader’s comment about the mental models interesting (the person with last name Black) but I admit that the mental models aspect wasn’t the part of your article that was enjoyable to read, although I love your enthusiasm for them though…Everything else about this was great though! The books that had an…

I ate your story like a fresh strawberry, Daria! A different perspective on life than what I experience but one that is ripe and succulent. In my youth, I thought great travels were in my future but that is not how my life unfolded. Perhaps a few regrets tucked in the fabric of my days but I am now content with the place I call home. Turns out my…
Focus is what is called “living in the present “— the panacea to ward off stress and unhappiness.
Deploying our talents to help others is altruism which has been associated with increased well- being. Self-centredness is the root cause of misery. We enter the realm of happiness the moment we forget about ourselves and start…
Extremely uplifting and thought-provoking article! I love to read such things that grab…
Daria, I loved your article. And I loved that it ends with a question, instead of a solution. There’s an honesty to that, a refreshing honesty about life. We really don’t know everything, everything changes all the time, and we probably can’t know everything. And we go through life trying to be rational in the never-ending presence of our own innate…
First, a disclaimer. I respect everyone’s opinion and actions as long as they don’t harm society. Everyone is free to live the life they feel fits their best interest. If you are happy, fulfilled and not complaining about your situation, you may disregard this writing.

Living like you’re always on camera…
I don’t know what to do with my day off. I run to appointments, and work/play dates, and the store, or local businesses most days. Somehow, I have managed to not need to go anywhere today or tomorrow. It’s the strangest thing to always be on the run, and then just stop.

For years I had the same thoughts and issues, collecting too many books on bookshelves. What to do with them, where to store them? I used to read science-fiction, today thrillers and some politics. As a grad student, I bought many music books and scores for reference and study. What to do? If you store the books in plastic tubs or cardboard boxes…
