As for unusual things I’ve done to sleep, well I'll say nothing too crazy. Sometimes I just put my phone far away, lie down and force myself to stop thinking, that is if I need it. The funny part is that

The only time I suddenly become a serious night owl is when I have a deadline to meet. 😂 Once there’s a deadline involved, sleep and I are no longer on speaking terms

I think I’m actually both. I function better during the day, especially when I have things to get done and I hardly sleep during the day, but I genuinely love being awake at night sometimes. There’s just

So I’d want the truth, but I’d have to be mature enough to separate useful criticism from people’s personal projections. It's better to livee with and deal with uncomfortable truth than live comfortably

And I also know not every opinion deserves my attention. Some people will dislike me for a particular reason known to them that have nothing to do with you, some will love me for who I am, some will even

Omo😹😹🤣 this question ehn...but I’d press the button. I’d rather know the uncomfortable truth about how people genuinely see me than go through life assuming I’m being perceived differently. At least

That's probably the most realistic answer. Sometimes wisdom is knowing when to keep reaching, and sometimes it's knowing when what you already have deserves to be appreciated

And perhaps the real skill is knowing which things are worth fighting for and which things are better left alone.

Maybe the goal isn't to always chase what you want or always accept what's available, but to know when each approach makes sense

That's true. There's a point where ambition can become dissatisfaction if you're never able to appreciate what you've already achieved.

That's an important way to put it. "good enough" isn't always settling. Sometimes it's recognizing that reality doesn't need to match the perfect picture in your head

Especially the fear of starting over. Sometimes people stay in jobs, friendships or relationships simply because the alternative feels uncertain

True. Someone might reject a good opportunity because it isn't exactly what they imagined, while someone else might accept almost anything because they're afraid of losing the opportunity

That's probably the healthiest balance. Know what is negotiable and what isn't

And that's probably where compromise becomes important. But compromise shouldn't mean constantly sacrificing the things that genuinely matter to you

Yeah, sometimes what we want is based more on fantasy than compatibility with real life. Do you think people should occasionally adjust their expectations?

That's where I think settling can become dangerous. You might be choosing comfort in the present while creating a bigger problem for yourself later

Now that's confidence😹😂 But relationships are probably where this gets complicated because you can't treat people like menu options

I agree. Life doesn't always give us the luxury of waiting for the perfect option, especially when it comes to money, work or even food 😂

That's an interesting way to measure it. So availability isn't necessarily the problem, as long as you're not abandoning what you actually want.
