Day 4 of Quitting. Top Story - January 2026.
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days.

I used to live inside my head. Not in a creative, daydreamy way. In an exhausting, suffocating, never-ending loop of what-ifs and worst-case scenarios. Every conversation replayed. Every decision questioned. Every possibility analyzed until I couldn't move forward at all.

6 Thoughts That Were Quietly Ruining My Progress
I thought I was doing everything right. I woke up early. I set goals. I worked hard. I stayed disciplined. But somehow, no matter how much effort I poured in, I felt like I was running in place. Progress felt impossible. Success felt distant. And every day, I grew more frustrated with myself.

14 Thoughts That Slowly Rebuilt My Confidence
Confidence didn’t disappear from my life all at once. It faded slowly, quietly, almost politely. One ignored idea at work. One comparison on social media. One failure I took too personally. Until one day, I looked in the mirror and didn’t recognize the person staring back at me.

Patience to Perseverance: 2025 Angel Blessings and Sidenotes
Patience does not come prepackaged with a pretty little red bow. It is a gift to oneself, constructed with intentional practice. Perceived timelines must dissolve, erasing self-inflicted pressure.

5 Mental Rules That Helped Me Stay Calm Under Pressure
The moment I realized I was not okay came on a random Wednesday afternoon. My phone was buzzing with unread messages, my inbox was overflowing, and my chest felt tight for no clear reason.

3 Mental Habits That Saved Me During My Lowest Phase
I didn’t hit rock bottom in one dramatic moment. It happened slowly. Days blurred together. Nights felt endless. I smiled in front of people and collapsed the moment I was alone.
