  • How to Forgive Betrayal: A Guide to Self-Healing and Inner Peace

    It seems to be a harsh truth of life: if you navigate the world with an open heart, you’ll likely encounter people who betray you, lie, make fun of you, or harbor secret resentment. This can happen when you inadvertently stand in their way, no matter how good you’ve been to them, regardless of the…

  • Trapped in the Wrong Universe? How to Reconnect With Your True Path

    Feeling exhausted? Overwhelmed by a sense of discouragement, or perhaps even grappling with depression? Does it seem like life is just passing you by while everyone else appears confident, achieving their goals, and heading in a planned direction, full of pride? If you’re feeling this way, you’re certainly not alone; many people share these deep-seated…

  • They Told Me I Was Shot. I Thought It Was Just a Stomach Ache

    A near-death experience. Something many have written about, so I don’t think I have much new to add. Still, I wonder—how close do you have to get to death to feel that enlightenment people talk about? That electric jolt that wakes you up, makes you feel born again. Changed. Changed in a way that makes…

  • Do People Make You Feel Poor or Inadequate?

    When I was just a little kid, my age still in the single digits, I’d often go with my dad, especially during the long, sun-drenched days of summer, to homes where he’d patiently coax life back into broken appliances—mostly refrigerators, the ancient, rumbling kind. Ears, Tools, and Soap Bubbles My role in these expeditions wasn’t…

  • Trying to Look ‘Normal’ Made Me Feel Worse: My Story of Body Insecurity

    If so, this story might resonate with you. I was born with a condition some people call pigeon chest.

It bothered me a lot because it was very noticeable and made me deeply uncomfortable taking off my shirt during weekend…

  • Why I’ll Never Be Just One Thing—and Maybe You Shouldn’t Be Either

    Can You Be Many Things? So, is having “multiple identities” an issue? I’m no psychologist, and I don’t have any special credibility there, but when I was young, I always wanted to be a lot of different things. I loved being out in nature, just hanging out in the forest. That was a big reason…

  • How a Childhood Pet Taught Me About Love, Betrayal, and Unfairness

    I wonder what kind of pets you have and what they possibly taught you. The pets I grew up with weren’t exactly the typical ones you’d bump into while walking down a street in Georgetown. I haven’t yet seen someone crossing the street with a cow or a dozen chickens. Yet. Because in the USA,…

  • Why I Set Two Hawks Free—and What It Taught Me About Fear

    It’s a question that has crossed my mind countless times. What could I have become if I had been just a little freer? The Fear I Didn’t Know I Carried Since I was young, like so many people, I’ve felt I needed to be someone. I believed I had a purpose I was supposed to…
