The Behaviour of Caribbean Lifestyle
This is probably one of the hardest pieces I've ever had to write just now. There are a lot of triggers for while writing this it's been difficult for me to leave my home because others make fun of me and how I look. I went through that in high school, what is the Caribbean an high school after party that never ends. I've never had a spot in this house to call my own until now.

Adult Life
That adult life is much, much better than childhood. If you find yourself thinking the opposite, you are romanticising “not having any responsibility” while ignoring the other side of it, which is not having any freedom!

The Small Joys of Fall are Arriving One By One...
This Wednesday, things feel elevated. The fog is slowly rising above the tips of the pine trees, and I watch in awe as it sweeps gracefully across the Pacific Ocean from my desk window. The flame from my new autumnal scented candles flickers side to side as the wind blows quietly into my office space. I can hear the sound of my cat snoring and purring below me and I take yet another gulp of pumpkin-flavored coffee. The small joys of Fall are arriving one by one.

Pathological Narcissism Psychosis And Delusions
One of the most important symptoms of pathological narcissism (the Narcissistic Personality Disorder) is grandiosity. Grandiose fantasies (megalomaniac delusions of grandeur) permeate every aspect of the narcissist’s personality. They are the reason that the narcissist feels entitled to special treatment which is typically incommensurate with his real accomplishments. The Grandiosity Gap is the abyss between the narcissist’s self-image (as reified by his False Self) and reality.

Turn Every Day to Gold with The Law of 1
Have you ever tried to get good at doing laundry? Let me tell you a story. The year is 2002. The 1st Extreme Ironing World Championship is underway. Yes, you read that correctly. Competitors are tasked with ironing clothes in challenging environments — floating down rivers, high in a tree, and on a climbing wall — graded on speed, how they managed their settings and their ironing prowess.

Whose life is not confused
Xiao Hai is one of my readers. Two months ago, he sent a private message to say that he was bored with his current job. He was mechanically repeated day after day, working from 9 to 5, watching TV shows or playing games after work. He said he wanted to quit his job and live in Dali for a while to get his old self back. There are probably more than a few people like Xiao Hai. Living in the city, in a fast-paced and efficient state of life for a long time, it is very easy to produce the feeling of confusion. If you live, you don't know why you live. In your mind, you subconsciously start a game between money and yourself. It is difficult to walk between material life and spiritual life. Such confusion is a normal part of life. In fact, everyone is looking for balance in life, especially young people. I told Xiao Hai that it was OK to go to Dali, but it was not necessary to quit his job. It was better to ask for an annual leave and go out to relax. Have been to the distance, maybe just found the most beautiful in the side. Xiao Hai took my advice, asked for leave and set foot on the journey to Dali alone. During that time, I often received pictures from Xiao Hai in my private message. In the streets of the ancient city, I was fascinated by the songs of the wandering singers. The little sea in the setting sun narrowed its eyes gently; Beside the butterfly spring, little sea wearing beautiful garland, open arms, mouth, unbridled smile; On the shore of Erhai Lake, the small sea quietly looking at the calm lake, beside a yellow cat dozing, at that moment, the whole world seems to be quiet.

What is a "5% change"?
There is a near-industry consensus guideline in the counseling community that one should not offer advice in counseling. Why? Because it's useless to mention it. Every counselor understands how difficult a successful intervention is, in a sense, like fighting in a ring against an opponent called "inertia. It is strong, cunning, focused, with an indomitable fighting spirit and the skill to repair itself. Even a beneficial change will stimulate its strong resistance, I call it "rejection".
