How To Accept You Don't Need Everyone And Their Approval
At some point in our lives, we tend to be eager to have someone understand us or have the support from those that we care about because we know that we would do the same for them without a second thought. We may have an idea or started a new chapter in our lives and hope that others would be happy for us or agree. Unfortunately, it's not always the case you are going to have their approval. Some will not think that your idea is the best and that you are doing something different for your better or believable life. It'll probably hurt you because you wanted to have the support and more encouragement to go forward with things from others you looked at to say something was all right, instead they denied you in a way where you feel like you can't go on without knowing their opinion is positive or uplifting.

If You Ever Say "Something Is Missing in My Life,"
Feeling empty is something most of us have experienced in our life. It can be downright unbearable, and it’s hard to get rid of the helpless feeling. A sense of emptiness can be overwhelming, and most of all it’s hard to figure out alone.

Beyond Reasonable Doubt
“There’s always someone better off than you, and there’s always someone worse off than you” quoted by C.L. Hall. That leads to the question, what about me? Where do I stand? There should be no such thing as comparing, for everyone is fighting a battle only they are strong enough for.

The Art of Being Yourself
When do you feel as if you are the happiest? For me, happiness comes from a feeling of love. That can be when we are around people that make us feel loved, when we are working at a job that we love, but mainly it comes when we love ourselves. Because if we do not fully love ourselves, then our happiness becomes dependent on having to be around other people who make us feel loved, or working at a job we love - which not everyone has the luxury of experiencing every moment of every day, or even at all.

I Used to Think That Love is All You Need
Before I had been in a serious long-term relationship, I thought being in one automatically made you happy. I believed that having a partner meant you'd be perfectly content with life, and that everything would be fine. And don't get me wrong, I've never been a Cinderella or Snow White. I've always had my own ambitions and lots of goals I want to achieve - other than falling in love. But whenever I saw people in relationships be sad and unhappy, I was confused as to how they could feel that low when they had a special someone. I don't know why specifically I had this mindset. I guess I either thought the person's support would make you so strong that you could easily handle anything that would come up, or that the love you had for them would overshadow any bad things in your life.

Why I find writing so difficult
I’ve written on and off since I was a little girl but back then it was so much easier. I was writing for no one but myself and even if someone did happen to read my work it never bothered me. At 19 I'm now so aware of myself and how others might perceive me that writing has become difficult. It’s become harder to write uninhibited and that is the ultimate goal. To write what you want and how you want without fear of other peoples’ opinions. I’ll often find myself writing a piece that I adore but will eventually render unreadable once I start thinking about all the people reading it. This seems like a pretty valid reason though. As with all the other *normal* points like the quest for perfectionism and endless drafts that never amount to anything much. But then there are all the other, irrational, seemingly pointless things that make writing so difficult for me.

Woman of Strength
Act I: The white rose in the garden took me by surprise, as the wind blew east its pedals and thorns called my name. I longed-for the day I would hear it again. I began to breathe, profoundly; my chest felt tight, almost as if my heart had skipped over a thousand beats. The way I see it, society and life in general disregards mental ability. Experiences, outlooks and perspectives make us human, we are conditioned to act, play and expose ourselves not in a vulnerable way but in the ways others view us. Why? I’m no scientist or psychologist but I do know this, we push ourselves too much. We think too much, I think too much. We react too much we portray too much, is that bad? Who knows. What I do know is that I have full control. My mind, body and soul are the key to my personal life, these essential factors showcase the person I am and still becoming. I’ve traveled far, and for being 24 years old my experiences are beyond me. I never knew that at 13 years old I would sing “just dance, gonna be ok” for the next 12 years or for the rest of my life for that matter.

Arundhati Roy, Love in Action
I am deeply inspired by writer and activist Arundhati Roy. She seems to hold one of the keys to actually changing the world, the power to get to the heart of political issues and to the heart of our collective humanness at the same time. She writes about politics, environmental justice, Indigenous rights, nationalism, and social movements, while acknowledging the nuances and intricacies of our human experience, as emotional beings.
