Self help, because you are your greatest asset.
A Common Guide To Lasting Happiness - Except, You're Gonna Want To Read This One.
The key to happiness is knowing what to accept as in your control and what to let go of. In stoic philosophy, many believe that the path to happiness comes from letting go of the things that are out of our control. However, even then, we're coming to understand that doing so - well - it's not easy.

Thoughts On Mental Health in a Studio Apartment
I thought I’d be living in LA by now. Originally from NH, I moved to Brooklyn in 2016 and to Chicago a year later, figuring that getting halfway across the country was an important and temporary step on my way to Hollywood. But then the pandemic hit, and the idea of relocating to an unfamiliar city and finding a brand new job felt a lot more terrifying than usual, and I decided I was better off staying put for now.

Memoirs of an INFJ
My name is Nickolas Lewis. I am someone who struggled to find his sense of identity for as long as he can remember. I have felt the emotions of others; I have even donned their emotions unknowingly. As someone who wishes to see the world become a better place, I am removing all of the obstacles that I have created to show you that life doesn’t have to be as complicated as we make it out to be.

The Monastery
When a person is confronted with a situation that will change his life forever, that person must face it alone, and begin to prepare. Within less than a second, I became such a person. The months leading up to the day of induction was exhausting. For the first year I was in a daze. Then I knew that to survive my penance I would have to place my mind in an alternate reality and create a barrier so that I could function but not surrender to the machine. Many powerful men have come here before me; some learned and moved on to better things. Others sat still until their light was dimmed forever. There are many secrets within these walls. I am Monkish and this is the Monastery.

Changing the Conversation
Sitting in my bed binging on whatever movie channel subscription I could find and hiding from life for 2 days I decided "I'm Done". The next thought was, what does "I'm done actually mean?". It was a dark time in my mind. For the past 60 days I had a string of bad luck. When I thought what could possibly go wrong next, something completely unexpected would happen. Every area that I thought was in my control I learned was not. I've lived through hell before but this was a different feeling. What is my mind telling me when it summarized my thoughts in the statement of "I'm Done".

Power of acceptance
ACCEPTING YOURSELF. As some of you will know, I am a 25 year old male NHS therapist who has recently engaged in 2 sets of his own therapy and found a way to connect as a “sufferer” as well as a “healer”. This “brief” piece is the start of a set of posts about some common methods of developing self-love and emotional growth, in a time where this is more important than ever.
