Can you change your fate?
I guess it all depends on which angle you are looking at this, an argument can be made about how our actions led us down a certain path and eventually to a specific place and another can be made about how our environment is responsible for all the things we did. Either ways I think it all comes down to the same thing at the end of the day.

Favored Shadows: The Daughter she couldn’t see
I still remember the day my mom said she hated me. My heart skipped for a second, and in that moment, everything around me went silent. I searched her eyes, hoping I had heard her wrong but I hadn’t. I could see the hate clearly, burning behind her words. That was the day something inside me broke, and I began to question what love from a parent was supposed to feel like.

Word of Day: 練習
Yea, I think I am sort of getting sick. I feel like jittery and my cheeks are hot. When I get home I need to sleep and drink some tea or something. I am not sure what I am doing but deep in my gut, I feel off for some reason, even past physical. I feel spiritually/mentally off right now. I don't know why. I hope I am not getting sick.

Mastering Conflict with the Indirect Aggressor
Engaging in a debate or conflict with an individual who employs passive-aggressive tactics can be profoundly frustrating, often leaving you exhausted and questioning your own perceptions. Unlike overt aggression, which is direct and confrontational, passive-aggression is a subterranean form of hostility, marked by a resistance to demands for adequate performance in social or occupational situations, frequently alternating between obstructionism and deliberate inefficiency. It is a veiled attempt to exert control, punish, or express anger without the personal risk of open confrontation.

I Didn’t Walk Away I Just Stopped Walking Toward What Hurt Me
There wasn’t a dramatic ending. No slammed doors. No announcements. No “I deserve better” speech. Just one ordinary day, I woke up and realized my energy felt too expensive to waste on places where I kept shrinking.

Why I Stopped Chasing Motivation (And What I Do Instead)
For most of my twenties, I chased motivation the way people chase quick success. I’d watch endless motivational videos, read self-improvement quotes, and tell myself that tomorrow I’d finally start being productive. Tomorrow, I’d wake up early, crush my goals, and live like the people in those inspiring montages. But tomorrow rarely came. And when it did, I felt the same lack of drive, the same resistance, the same craving for another dose of motivation to get going.

The Great Hot Dog Performance: Meghan Markle’s World Series Show Steals the Spotlight (Again)
Under the blinding lights of the World Series, a familiar face appeared — Meghan Markle, dressed head to toe in Dodgers blue, flashing her signature Hollywood smile. Beside her sat Prince Harry, looking every bit the supportive husband and slightly confused foreigner. Cameras clicked, screens glowed, and within hours, the footage was everywhere. What looked like a simple night at the ballpark quickly morphed into a full-scale PR performance.

I Grew Up thinking anxiety become simply Laziness:. AI-Generated.
I used to think i used to be simply lazy. When I couldn’t get out of bed, I blamed myself. when I forgot matters, missed time limits, or felt like the global changed into too loud, I informed myself i was vulnerable. I didn’t have the language for what i used to be experiencing. no one around me did either.

Unfiltered Confidence
Real self-esteem isn’t about being the loudest in the room or pretending to have it all together — it’s about truly accepting who you are, even on the days you don’t feel perfect. In a world where teens are constantly bombarded with images of “ideal” lives, bodies, and achievements, genuine self-worth has become harder to hold onto but more important than ever. Today’s teens face an intense pressure to measure up — to fit in, to look right, to achieve more — and without healthy self-esteem, that pressure can easily turn into self-doubt and anxiety. Teaching and nurturing real confidence isn’t just about making teens feel good; it’s about helping them build resilience, set boundaries, and grow into emotionally strong individuals who know their value beyond what others think.
