Being Kind Is Not the Same as Being Weak, It Just Looks That Way to Certain People
Someone told me once, early in a work environment i had just entered, to stop being so approachable. Said it in a way that suggested approachability was a strategic mistake. That people would take advantage

The Things I Worried About Most Never Happened the Way I Feared They Would
I have wasted so much time in imaginary disasters. Lying awake running through scenarios that were detailed and convincing and completely fictional. The conversation that would go terribly. The decision

I Stopped Needing The Last Word And My Relationship Got Better
I used to need to finish arguments in a particular way. Not necessarily with the other person agreeing with me, though that would have been preferred. But i needed to have said the final thing. To have

There Is a Version of You That Would Be Ashamed of How Little You Bet on Yourself
I have a journal entry from years ago. I found it while clearing out old things and sat with it for longer than i expected. In it i had written a list of things i wanted to do, things that felt enormous

Forgive Yourself First, Everything Else Becomes Easier After That
There is a decision i made at twenty six that i carried around as evidence against myself for years. Not something illegal. Not something that harmed anyone else in a dramatic way. Just a choice i made

I Wasted Years Trying to Change People Who Did Not Want to Change
There was a friend, someone i had known since we were teenagers, who i spent the better part of three years trying to quietly redirect. Not in an aggressive way. More like gentle consistent nudging. Sending

The Relationship That Taught Me the Most Was the One That Hurt the Most
I do not talk about that relationship often. Not because i am still broken by it, i am not, but because some things lose something when you explain them too much. They become a story you tell instead of

The business idea i had at twenty two. The writing i kept meaning to do. The conversation i kept postponing until i felt ready enough, qualified enough, certain enough that it would go well. None of it

Being Alone and Being Lonely Are Two Completely Different Things
I used to not be able to sit alone in a restaurant. Would feel the selfconsciousness of it too strongly. Would take out my phone immediately just to have something to do with my hands, something to signal

My grandmother used to say certain things with such certainty that i assumed the confidence came from wisdom. From having lived long enough to know. Later i realised some of it was just personality. Some
