Burnout is a reaction to prolonged or chronic job stress and is characterized by three main dimensions: exhaustion, cynicism (less identification with the job), and feelings of reduced professional ability. - source I've experienced burnout at a job before. I just got to a point where I would attend meetings with my eyes glazed over,…
I saw a TikTok the other day (can you tell I'm obsessed with TikTok?) about a cancer patient who asked if they could still buy green bananas after their diagnosis. Because they weren't sure if they were going to be around for the bananas to ripen. We take every day for granted. Every avocado I…
We often stop and think to ourselves about how stressed out we are. How tired we are. How we could just use a day off. But we never really stop and think that we need all of those things because we've stopped taking care of ourselves. We just think that it's been a busy week,…
We all change, it's inevitable. We grow up, we experience new things, go through phases, meet new people. We take every little experience and slowly it changes us into a different person over time. Sometimes we anticipate change, sometimes we're thrown into it head first. Something that will definitely change a person is heart break.…

It's because we not only have to look great in person but we also have to look great online. There is more than one impression to make…
There are three kinds of people. The people who live in the past, the people who live in the present, and the people who live in the future. I don't think many people live in the present. It's very hard to be completely aware of the moment you're in when you have years of junk…
Dating is hard. In our culture, we mate for life. We find a person as soon as we can to marry and have children with and grow old with. We have marriage benefits, we have joint bank accounts, and we share lives. That’s a very serious thing so the process to get there is very…
