Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.

Why High Achievers Are Often Depressed
It is true to form in realising that even Superman needs his Clark Kent days in order to re-set and re-charge, hence in being impactful towards high achievement.

Watch Out Wednesdays - 2/4/26 (Opinion)
We are smack dab into the first week of February! I hope that everyone is preparing to watch Super Bowl LX (60) on Sunday between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. This game will definitely be decided in the fourth quarter.

Homework Assignment - Right, Wrong, or Grey-zone?
So my autism therapist gave me some homework for a new form (to me at least) of therapy. It is an Internal Family Systems parts mapping exercise and I have no idea if I am doing it correctly or not, but I just wanted to write about my experience... *smile*

The Intrigue of Unavailability
Every girl wants that man, so I don’t. Everybody is going after that woman, so I wont. Everybody wants their way into that club, so I don’t.

The 1% Ripple Effect
Noisy. That’s how I describe our world right now. It’s full of noise and stressful events everywhere. The news are bombarding us with constant horrors from all corners of the world including our own back yards.

A Headache, New Medication, and a Happy Outcome
As of Saturday, I had a headache. Again. Or maybe still? I had a new prescription that was finally approved that I was really hoping would help with my headache, but was a headache to be approved for in and of itself. The paperwork had been delayed by a week. The paperwork had been completed - and then rejected because one item wasn't "clearly" marked.

When Life Gets Too Much
"Each one of us has lived through some devastation, some loneliness, some weather superstorm or spiritual superstorm; when we look at each other, we must say, I understand. I understand how you feel because I have been there myself. We must support each other and empathize with each other because each of us is more alike than we are unalike."

The power of branding, and the creation of an illusion of higher level authority! part 2 B
I like- really like your very good way to express yourself: ''it’s also about power, branding, and the creation of an illusion of “higher level” authority.''

ADHD Life. Top Story - January 2026.
I had to meet with psychiatrist they said. My appointment was at two pm. Okay, so I should go grocery before but my appointment is at two though. I don’t want to be late. So I should go after…? Right? Or will the store be closed by then? Or I could go tomorrow and order in today. Yeah, I will order in food that’s safe, I don’t need to leave my house. It’ll get done then. So then all I did was wait. It’s like being in a waiting room in your own house. I checked to make sure zoom was working so I can have this appointment. The appointment started and the psychiatrist looked at me and said “it sounds like you might have ADHD” and she noted something down. Wait. What? Then something started to make sense. Is that why I spent most of my days in the classroom daydreaming? Yes. Is that why I had to click my pen at work? Yes. Is that why I am consistently interrupting others? Probably. Do I overshare at work? 100% is that why I can never enter a grocery store and just get what I need? Yes. Literally, today I walked into Walmart “All I need is a stapler” I told myself before I walked in. All I need is a stapler okay? Oh what’s that the make-up aisle. I wonder if they have E.l.f. Oooo yes and it’s on sale score! Right. Stapler, new Nicholas Spark book? I’ll take that! That reminds me I need a library card. Wait. Stapler. I found the stapler and then I looked over the clothing aisle. I did lose that shirt, just a white tank top. Yes, okay I need to leave. And like that I spent 38$ ouch. The stapler cost me 5$.

The Psychology Behind Why Motivation Fails
You wake up inspired. You make a mental list: study today, write that article, post content, avoid procrastination, be productive.

Essence, Embodiment, and Relational Reality
The Failure of Reduction and the Need for Synthesis There is a persistent failure in many modern attempts to explain what a human being is. Some frameworks reduce the person entirely to matter, insisting that identity, consciousness, morality, and meaning are nothing more than emergent properties of physical processes. Other frameworks move in the opposite direction, detaching spirit from reason and grounding belief in intuition alone, often at the cost of coherence or accountability. Both approaches fail because both misunderstand essence. One denies that essence exists at all. The other treats it as something vague and undefinable.
