Bad habits
confession
Sometimes I really wanna run away and start over and just not tell anyone. I love my husband. I do. I love my in laws, I love my life. Or at least I loved it. When my husband started developing a social media addiction, it turned into him secretly snap chatting random women. As someone who wanted marriage to be the one safe thing I’ve had in my life, This hit so hard. Honestly? It feels like after we got married he felt like he could stop trying. It’s so hard on my spirit. I have poured myself into him and worked so hard to build the life I’m living. But I had dreams too. I was a girl once. who only had to be young and pretty. I have always been obsessed with geology,i have begged him to go rock hounding with me a million times. Nope. Singing is another passion of mine and has been a big part of my life. I’ll listen to him talk about guitar for hours but when I start up about singing, he often gets distracted and trails off into a different subject. In a lot of ways I feel invisible in my own marriage/life. I have no family. nobody who cares. I often fantasize about running away to a different country or somewhere across the states, and just healing. I am chronically ill though and my husband pays most of the bills so it’s not really in the cards for me until I get some money stacked. For now it’s just a fantasy. Just wanted to get that off my chest. I feel so wound up all the time.

My Journey to Self Acceptance
Growing up I felt like I was stuck in a body that didn't belong to me. Acne covered my face, chest, and back leaving me feeling ashamed, unappealing, and undeserving. To be honest I despised my appearance. It was not teenage awkwardness, I battled daily battle with my self-confidence. Now as a mother watching my daughters navigate their skin issues brings back memories of my struggles. My biggest wish is that they will not have to face the insecurities I did. I hope that they will learn to accept themselves, appreciate their skin, and understand that true beauty goes beyond surface impressions but lies, in the depths of one's character.

An ode to imposter syndrome
An ode to imposter syndrome Self-worth and self-belief are the two sides of the same coin. We all have seeds of self-doubt planted within us, either from our inner limiting beliefs, trauma or negative projections of other people’s opinions. It is hilarious how we place our self-esteem in the hands of others with ease and then find ourselves in the labyrinth of negative perceptions of ourselves or dwindling confidence in our abilities. Life is a paradox, to heal you must be hurt, amid the most massive of pain and breakdown lies the most eminent breakthrough you would ever receive. If you want confidence and faith in your abilities, you must swim through the turbulent ocean of self-doubt and insecurity.

The Quest for being right
You really have no idea how desperate most people are to be right all the time. It’s quite amazing!, they’ll go as far as denying reality itself if that means they can be right in the end. This yearning for validation can shape a person’s judgment and fundamentally influence their overall worldview. Deep down, the need to be right comes from a drive for certainty and self-assurance. Being right is comforting, reassuring, and provides an internal balance. Humans always seek for validation from other humans, this builds up their assurance, ego and happiness, it makes up for the flaws they might have while satisfying their biases.

Understanding Women
NOTE!!! Understanding women and attracting their attention is a topic that has intrigued men for centuries. However, it's essential to recognize that women, like men, are individuals with unique personalities, preferences, and desires. Therefore, understanding women isn't about deciphering some universal code but rather about developing empathy, communication skills, and emotional intelligence. The "secret" to getting a woman's attention lies in building genuine connections, being respectful, and showing interest in who she is as a person. This approach not only leads to more meaningful relationships but also fosters mutual respect and understanding.
