The weight of the world. . AI-Generated.
Emma sat at her desk, staring blankly at the screen in front of her. The cursor blinked on the empty document, a silent reminder of her looming deadline. The pressure weighed heavily on her chest, like an invisible anchor pulling her down. It was a feeling she had come to know too well in recent years—a deep, pervasive sense of being overwhelmed.

Surface Pressure That Just Won't Stop
Disney Has Changed The Way They Make Me Cry As a child, I cried over the death of Bambi's mom. I hyperventilated in fear as a 5-year-old watching Snow White for the first time, and she ran screaming through the dark forest after the huntsmen tried to take her heart. I cried when the curse was broken for the Beast and he discovered love. When Dumbo was abused and mistreated and separated from his mother I sobbed. I forced myself to watch it until the end (I am a childhood abuse survivor, this movie was very triggering for me in a lot of ways) and found relief in the ending. But I refuse ever to watch it again - and I haven't shown my daughters that movie OR Pinocchio. I know those movies would trigger me to this day.

I Cried Watching Inside Out 2
As someone who has struggled with mental health her entire life, both Inside Out 1 and 2 made me cry. In the sequel, I–like probably entire generations–related deeply to how letting anxiety run the show may seem like a good idea at first but can quickly spiral into panic attacks.

Stop Shoulding On Me - 5 Tips To Keep Your Energy Safe
There are people walking the planet thinking that they know what is best for others. Shocking information! They are chronically giving unsolicited advice. They have ALL the answers to every topic, even if they have no basis in fact. They will decide on your career path and doing business the “right” way, aka their way, with no wiggle room for nuances and gaping discrepancies in values, and ethics. They will tell you how to fix your love life, relationships with your family, your career, and your health. There’s just one problem - NOBODY ASKED!

Frenemies - 5 Reasons To Let Go And Move On
Frenemies – 5 Reasons to Let Go and Move On Frenemies – (friends, lovers, co-workers) - we all have them to one degree or another. You know - the ones that basque in your success by association or steal an idea and then take credit for it in front of you. They can be sweet as sugar in your presence and tell a tale of lies and deceit when your back is turned for a millisecond. To move forward and be successful (I mean happiness), you must, must, must, rid these people from your repertoire of “friends” to create the magical space that will be your life experiences, your joy, and your newfound freedom.
