Open Letter to Slay Queens
Dear slay queen,
It is true love is give and take. But that does not mean you give sex and take money. That is not love. This expectation that a boyfriend must maintain you is immoral. If all you bring to a relationship is sex, you are as replaceable as a used recharge…

For me,the title’s advice only makes sense from the point of view of our mental well-being. Hatred is a toxic emotion that will corrode its harbourer more than its target.
At the same time, moral righteousness based on universal values, is not something most people can relate to in their daily lives.

What Do I Actually Want To Do?

I remember in high school in math it was argued that buying a house was a poor use of money.

But without the choice of a mortgage, home ownership would be a lot lower.
It is a personal choice.

節錄22歲的故事 #3|Sunday, 7 September 2014
在艾朗根已經滿一個禮拜了,覺得有許多生活上的變化和對未來越來越多的期待。
首先,生活的步調變得好慢好慢,彷彿時鐘的發條被調慢一般,以致於所有生活中原本被忽略的美好細節就從被放大的時間間格中抖落出來。
我出門買菜,經過廣場上的農夫市集,便會每一攤都去晃晃、閒逛,比價一番,而農夫市集在這兒是很稀鬆平常的事情,農夫們每天都會固定擺出攤位販售自家栽種的新鮮蔬果,而這並不是艾朗跟的專利,至少…

Yes, as a white person, I agree that white people need to use social and community pressure to reduce racism among other white people. They should, I would add, also examine their own thinking and assumptions to understand and reduce their own prejudices and bigotry.

This is me right now. My WORD I have had so many emergency situations arise this past year that I feel as though my head is constantly spinning.

I feel as though, as soon as I decided I was ready for…

A time I wish I could forget. A time when life stopped for a single moment, then continued to live on. A time that could have been avoided, but hope was lost, so a life was lost too.
I often hear and (erroneously) say these three words - I will never.
What me and others like me don’t realise is n(ever) is not really in our control.
I will never negative self-talk.
*ANHEDONIA*
Meaning; the inability to feel pleasure. Ive had a couple people message me about PPD (postpartum depression) asking if I went through it and how I over came the feeling of being lost and uninteresting and the answer is; yes. I still at times go through this feeling but I know how to uplift my sprits now and this…
Sucker for Pain
Pain reminds you, that you’re here, that you feel, that you’re alive, that you mean something. The flip of this, of course, is that this only means this to you.
No one else knows your pain, is the point. You might be reading this with a bad migraine, but I’m writing this with two…

Today I am having a hard time writing. Mainly because lately, I have been feeling that I am no good and many other dark thoughts.

It’s by going nowhere that you usually end up somewhere.
And by trying to go somewhere that you usually end up nowhere.
Just like by being a nobody that you usually end up being a somebody.

And my attempt to stand up and stay up.
I remember the shame I felt as I walked into my house the day before my birthday. To be quite honest, I felt like a dog with its tail between its legs.
Sometimes, in startups, it feels like there is immense pressure to be perfect, at all times. With companies all around you raising ridiculous amounts of money, announcing partnerships and growing their teams, sometimes you feel…

It’s raining here and it’s nighttime but you don’t know it. You don’t know a lot of things. About me, about the world I now live in. About how I live in self-doubt and wonder what the point of self-actualization is if you are not around to truly share in it. But that’s not your fault. It…

So much of my 20’s has been spent “trying” to figure out my life and where I am compared to where I want to be, trying this, studying that, believing the more I know the better opportunities I’m going to have and when faced with decisions on which job to take, where to move, to travel or to…
The feral 14-year-old is a freshman this year. And next week he has his first “real” midterm…
Touche. I’m only speaking from my own personal experience though. I have never met anyone that was naturally gifted at anything. Every single successful person I have ever met had to work extremely hard to develop their skillset. I wish I did have a natural knack for writing, but then this journey would not have been so much fun and life-altering.
Let’s not make unfair judgments. I am always thinking that we are in such a hurry to judge people and their actions. Why do we allow ourselves to judge someone we don’t know and have never had contact with, based purely on their appearance, resulting in the wrong impression being implanted in our minds…
Life is an external factor for most of us because it is filled with uncertainty. It is agreeable that there is imperfect information on reaching resolution, yet our ability to obtain skills is provided with perfect information. Therefore, taking charge of your life through growth can ultimately lead to better decisions by picking up on clues and strategising to utilize the given information.

I just read your blog on constructive criticism, so I’m taking that to heart and giving you some. My advice is to spend at least one hour a day writing, no matter what.
