Nothing is all bad nor all good. No matter how it feels. If you start to believe this, you might save yourself from another complete mental breakdown. Talking from my own experience, nothing works for everybody. Many things depend on our focus and beliefs about how are we supposed to feel in certain situations. The … Read more
Let’s take a short break from the tough topics I’ve been posting about lately. I need to move out of the comfort zone, so I’m going for another challenge. As many of you already know, I’m not a native English speaker and I speak much worse than I write. I’d like to improve that. Talking … Read more
I wrote a post about others. What they did to me and how wrong it was. I’d like to point out another person, who did plenty of horrible things to me as well. It was me. Hi. * hides under the table * I’m deeply ashamed and I wasn’t doing this on purpose. But the … Read more
