The details of this situation are not important, other than the fact that my friend was already dealing with many negative […]

Weekend Anxiety is a Thing? Why? How to Fix It?

The first time I heard about Weekend Anxiety Syndrome, I thought it was strange. However, the more I researched it, the more I understood and resonated with it. After all, many people lead busy lives during the week, with work and study filling up their Monday to Friday schedule. Then the weekend comes and they’re […]

Politics Is No Buffet Where We Cherry-Pick What We Like

TikTok is finally about to be banned in the USA as politicians are trying to sneak in legislation by hiding it within a bill that provides war support efforts in Ukraine and Israel.

How Much is Enough: When More is Less

I remember walking into a tattoo studio and seeing all these people getting tattoos. I wondered if any of these clients had received a notice from the tattoo artist saying, “Are you sure you want to get a tattoo?
