The Evolution of Friendships: Embracing Change as Adults
This post is not meant to explain any breakthrough discovery, or really anything you do not already know: friendships come to an end, sometimes. Often, for some of us. Everywhere, you find advice on how to get over a romantic breakup, or what to look for in a partner, but who really teaches us who…

Seasonal Book Recommendations for Fall (and Halloween) Lovers
As Halloween is now a (still very fresh) memory, I thought we could use this opportunity to write a post about autumn reads. We often consider autumn reads to be Halloween reads, though autumn has more to offer than (only) the spooky vibe. Of course, some of the books in the list are Halloween-inspired (because…

Practical Self-Care: Merging Indulgence and Growth
I do not know about you, but every time I search for self-care tips, I get a little depressed. The content online does not quite fit my expectations, or at least it fits them only partially. After a few years of wondering what was missing, I have finally come to the conclusion that as everything…

A few weeks ago, I almost lost my life in a car accident, getting hit by a huge truck on the driver’s side. Not to sound dramatic, but I am miraculously alive today, and able to write these words. A few ribs have been hit, and my lung has suffered considerably, but still: I am…

Hard truth – Failure builds success because success is tougher than you
I have been having discussions lately on “overnight success”. You know, this myth that some of us are made successful overnight? For some, this does not look like a myth: success appears extremely fast in a given realm – I have been there myself in specific areas of my life.

Overcoming Anxiety with Fear: A Unique Coping Method
I had never been anxious and, when I saw posts aiming to help anxious people, I used to be forever grateful that I did not need those. This was before my last burnout (hopefully the last one in my entire life). Burnout can deregulate things in you, and for me, this has been anxiety. Bear…

You do not have to deserve the life you live. You being there and living it is already enough in and of itself…
