How to Stop People Pleasing
One day in my childhood, I decided that I would be the source of everyone's happiness. There was a guilt so perfectly fashioned in my chest. Yet, I'd been oblivious to the fact that it never even belonged to me. For years all I wanted was to be seen, loved, and heard. The majority of my life was fueled by the desire to be loved. This took me down many dark paths that bring me shame to this day. There is grace in my deliverance, however. A moment that I can breathe. Only I always come back to the shame. Always. This same shame gave me the motivation to discover who it truly belonged to. I have been an astronomical part of my downfall. While I am aware of this now, I did not get myself to this point alone. I had the help of so many, only now in adulthood it is my responsibility to mend these broken pieces of my life. No, it isn't fair, but it is necessary.

The Traits of Narcissistic Parents
Narcissistic parents can have a profound effect on their children, shaping not only their childhoods but their entire lives. Narcissism, characterized by an excessive need for admiration, a lack of empathy, and a sense of entitlement, can manifest in many damaging behaviors when exhibited by a parent.

I Fired My Personal Trainer for an AI: Here's What Happened!
It was one of those pivotal moments in life where curiosity collided with uncertainty. There I was, staring at my phone, ready to make a decision that could alter my fitness routine forever. "Could an AI really replace my personal trainer?" I wondered, half-excited, half-nervous. The idea seemed far-fetched. I mean, how could a machine – a mere collection of algorithms – possibly replicate the expertise and human touch of a personal trainer?

But, the allure of cutting-edge technology was hard to ignore. So, with a mixture of intrigue and skepticism, I decided to take the plunge. I fired my personal trainer for an AI.

Sometimes, All It Takes is a DM. Runner-up in Small Kindness Challenge. Content Warning.
I was at the lowest point of my life when I met K.T. It was January 12, 2019. I live in the U.S., K.T. lived in Thailand. Both my parents had just passed away, leaving me with inheritance money from their insurance policy—enough to take care of me and cover the remainder of my education. I was set for life. But I didn’t need all that; I just wanted them back. Cancer is a bitch, and it had come for me, too.
