There can be many reasons why. Mine was ability to get paid job, interesting, and where I can use skills and experience. I was mostly overqualified for any position in any company, after few hundreds of interviews I just gave up. As a consequence, depression and devastation. I started to operate my business.

Yesterday, I received a question from Quora that resonated with me. Here, it is.
Lately there has been someone I’ve known for sometime try to slide and ask me out a few times.
He began messaging me on social media, trying to be suave and douchey, I guess thinking that I was into that kind of guy. He would ask highly…
One of the greatest decisions you will will probably ever make in your life is whether to sit there, relax and daydream about it or stand up for something you’re not even sure of and take the risk.

I believe the essence of speed reading is to keep a diary with notes. The notes seem to lock the material into place. My method is to condense the book to a paragraph:[1]
Interesting thoughts! I’ve actually been helped by self-help books (The Road Less Traveled was an early favorite) but I suspect I was a piece of that low-hanging fruit you referenced.
I’ve also written self-help. As a retired therapist and also a person who’s struggled with anxiety, I wanted to share my experience and my…

Really? Define economic gains.
I’ve seen a lot of men like your Austin divorcee choose pushy partners and then try to excuse themselves of any blame down the road. My partner made me have another baby, etc.
I’ve never thought of it quite that way before, Shannon. That is a VERY astute observation!

My answer to why… is there is just too much damn beauty and possibility to not focus on the good and hope for the best. I am an optimist though, so I could just be biased. :) ❤

I write and write and then I leave it alone like my now forgotten dreams. They are everywhere; the bleeding words, but I just can’t find them. Maybe I am too lazy or maybe just too numb to care. The days pass and my memories fade away like dandilions in a storm.

So with you on this. I mean some people are like me with everything going for them, all I had to do was not fuck it up. Others are like my brother, dragged off to war and left with a health time bomb that goes off in slow motion.

Why is it so hard to accept criticism from loved ones.
There is a lot of catharsis in this piece. When I wrote ‘A Leap of Faith’ it was an attempt to acknowledge that the things that happen to us are happening in accordance with some perverse perfect plan. Many don’t like to think of their life as being played like a script, but it would seem that both our lives have had a series of events that occurred…

A friend got me a book for my birthday last year called “No Easy Jesus”, the title at that time to me was unpleasing. It was really until a year later I wanted to get back into my Christian faith, I picked up the book and started reading. I haven’t put it down since.
Day 1: We meet for the first time. It’s awkward. I hate meeting new people. All my confidence appears to vanish as I make contact. I stand aloof, look frigid and in all, uncomfortable to be here. All my big talk vanishes. I put up a blank wall. Try to figure out the rules of…

i see parallels to my own life in your story. pain is like abuse. when it’s a near constant, it is familiar; almost comfortable. we don’t even realize a life without is possible so we adapt and learn to live with it.

Lately, I’ve been realizing what I want out of life. I want a job that I am passionate about because I want to go into work and not feel that I’m working. When you do what you love, you’ll never feel like it’s an actual…
In the way you make me feel, I can feel your sillage causing ripples in my heart, I may not express it right away yet it feels so surrendering. I can feel you in those deep portions of me where you turn up into a habit, a myriad of emotions follow this habit and no matter what the situation…
Thank, Alizeh, for an interesting read.
Philip Hofmacher Cool! Learn by doing and then teach it! That is one sure way to find out your purpose (for when you cannot teach it to others, it is probably not what you should be doing ;-)), become successful at something and create your own legacy. Interesting article, good read!
So, I’m new to this thing and hello!
I’m gonna write my thoughts here cuz I’ve been feeling things lately. I’m not sure if I’m comfortable opening up to my friends and I don’t wanna drag my boyfriend to this dark life of me. Hope Medium can help me express how I feel. 😊
It is done.

I’m not sure I’m brave when it comes to him skateboarding. There’s been lots of bruises, bleeding, broken bones and he’s even had staples in his head since this one injury. I usually freak out when it happens. Ha. It doesn’t seem to matter how old he gets, a mom is always a mom.

“ Haves” and the “Have - nots” !!
We many times ignore the reality — the helpless souls , from the very eyes we see.
There are so many children who don’t have meals for three times a day & don’t have clothes to cover their nakedness and it’s extreme.
Notice I said successful, and not famous.
Fame can be short-lived, as you probably seen with celebrities. Celebrities became famous as a byproduct of something that they did in their lives, or infamous because of what they…

Going through electrical apprenticeship training school was pretty difficult sometimes… I guess a lot of higher learning is, especially theory about things we can’t see.
