How to Deal with Getting Older
I’m 43. Being over 40 used to bother me, I felt old. Ancient, in fact. Weird thoughts crept into my middle-aged mind; thoughts about becoming frail, looking aged, getting ill, being redundant to society and being unattractive to the opposite sex.

Advice for Dealing With Low Self-Esteem, Overthinking, High Expectations and Addiction
Do you hate yourself? Those are strong words but it's possible. I know there was a point I sure did. I know others loathe who they are too. It's easy to get stuck down an emotional dead-end and not even want to look in the mirror. You can't love someone if you can't love yourself. You can't enjoy life when you don't even like yourself.

The Scariest Scene in Movie History (For Me)
Gory horror films are abundant. The genre seems to have hit some sort of renascence in the 21st century. Yet, these films do not phase me too much. Instead, I’ve always found the most freaky and disturbing films are dystopian and callous; the type of films that are almost set in reality, but not quite; something is off, there is an unease about the entire film, playing on your mind, putting your soul on edge.

Why Do You Push Everyone Away?
If you're wondering why you push everyone away, it boils down to this: You've chosen comfort over growth. You’ve picked instant gratification over long term gain. You're addicted to comfort, it’s not your fault, we all are, but it is killing your friendships, your romantic relationships, your career network and your social life. It's taking away everything you could be.
