Stress Is Fuel For Growth, Greater Happiness, And Accelerated Success
The youngest heavyweight in the world boxing champion Mike Tyson once said, “Everybody Has a Plan Until You Get Punched in The Face”. The way I interpret this statement is that we have all gone through periods of success, and high confidence forgetting where we came from. And we all experienced levels of failures, setbacks, or injustices. What I am going to argue in this short piece, is that some of life’s setbacks can be turned to our advantage, converting the stress into mental fitness and abundance. I will also argue that most of the pain we experience is self-inflicted as we focus on the negatives and generate a lot of unnecessary noise and unrealistic deadlines.

Chewy
He was a loyal companion, full of grace and elegance. Always there to wake me up and tuck me in at night. Chewy was his name. He reminded me of the fabled Chewbacca of Star Wars. His brown and black and white colorings. His shaggy hair. His quirkiness. All of these did not compare to his simple wellness and how he calmed me down, every time I petted him and walked and fed and groomed him.

Are some friends really only meant to stay for a little while?
I have been extremely busy and have lost some motivation to do my online recruiting work! Sometimes I wish I was a mom already and had a husband who would take care of the finances, but also maybe when I have that life, I would crave and miss young Dom who had the freedom to pick up her life and move anywhere she desired.

Stop Loving Someone And Start Moving Forward
Most people fall in love with the wrong people at the wrong time. If you suddenly like or love someone, there is nothing left to do. But when you realize that you have fallen in love with the wrong person, the danger is there. Once you fall in love with someone, it is not easy to get rid of him/her. If you realize that you have fallen in love with the wrong person, what will you do?

ME. Hello.
So... How does one live in my situation? What's my situation and what makes it unique from everyone else's? Not much. I mean how many reading this are on Methadone? Or have several medical issues that truly prevent you from working, yet you can't seem to get disability. But you also feel disability is for losers. Because that's what you were programmed to think. It's for lazy people who don't wanna work. That's what I always thought. Oh, how humbled I have been over the last few years. Lemme explain.

On the Edge to Darkness
I feel like losing myself. I feel like falling into this drug that is you. You stay dormant in my head in front of the King of nightmares. You are holding keys to my heart that I fight to have. I opened my life to you only to find more wounds to be dug deeper. This drug feels so familiar. Like a drug that makes you an addict. I don’t know why or how to stop. I took a break and found a way to stop. I even moved on to a different type of drug just to erase you. Still, you emerge as if a lost soul looking for grievances.
