Understanding ourselves and the world we live in.
Provided by ellieejay My first international class in Guatemala, followed by a semester in London, then a semester in Granada… and what do I have to say for myself? I’ve learned nothing. Contrary to popular belief and folktales told by previous students who have studied internationally, living abroad for 5 months does not make you... Continue Reading →
Today I’m going to share a story about how my own brain f*cked me hard, together with a pair of wet jeans (I promise it’s different than anything you can imagine!) Many many years ago when I was just a young boy (I think I was about 13 years old), my family and I had... Continue Reading →
Pain, truth, thoughts, emotions and everything our fragile bodies carry has a place in this world. Any demon can be defeated with the proper company and with the proper weapons and that’s why this blog exists. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. Thank you for spending (or investing) some of your... Continue Reading →
These three aspects seem to be so well delimited that it’s hard to believe they co-exist inside of us all the time. Even though yesterday seems to be over and that tomorrow is yet to come, we do think and behave now based on yesterday and tomorrow. Wanna hear how this got into my mind... Continue Reading →
Today’s a pretty rough day because I barely slept last night. And it’s not like I did anything… I only had a constant thought-flow with things that could go bad in my life (that and the fact that one of my cats made strange noises all night long). The thoughts were so bad that I... Continue Reading →
It’s been a looong time since I wrote something and I’m not even sure I know how to do it. Life is so unpredictable that if you try to understand it, your mind might explode. Actually, this is what happened to me. One year ago, I thought that all I can do is write for... Continue Reading →
As you may have noticed, it’s been a while since I posted something. It seems that time works against me and instead of helping me achieve things, it keeps me away from doing what I love. Because of this, I decided to re-connect with my time so we both are again on the same page.... Continue Reading →
Come one, come all! Come see the spectacle that is K, the Forgotten! A sad girl who you won't feel for as she slips from my/our minds. When one forgets, does that allow to begin anew? Perhaps when one forgets themselves... Does forgetting create an absence of the mind, or is it data overwritten? I'm... Continue Reading →
The more I listen to different successful people on YouTube, the more I wonder why not more of us get to similar levels of success. While writing these words I realized something: working hard is hard. Yes, it’s not a surprize or a revelation, but without a strong commitment, there is no way someone can... Continue Reading →
Would you like to get more things done on a daily basis? Do you feel like losing too much time with… nothing? And nevertheless, you still are afraid of a tight schedule? Regardless the general impression, a tight schedule brings more freedom than anything does. And it allows us to get more things done. I’ve... Continue Reading →
'A Lion used to prowl about a field in which Four Oxen used to dwell. Many a time he tried to attack them; but whenever he came near they turned their tails to one another, so that whichever way he approached them he was met by the horns of one of them. At last, however,... Continue Reading →
Let’s take this example so commonly used by other people to prove this point. If they use it, it’s probably real so I’m going to use it too because I’m too lazy to think about a new one. Let’s say that you are a very hard worker in your company and you have excellent... Continue Reading →
At stephaniedanielsonauthor’s suggestion, I’m going to make two “Best of” posts based on the number of views, comments and my personal affinity. This first one will be about the Question of the Day. In my opinion, the most surprising answers came at Question of the Day – No. 185 (What is the most... Continue Reading →
Provided by Reginald Spittle from carryoncouple As I read Fighting the Inside Dragons, I was half a world away from Bogdan Ignat, but his book made me feel like he was sitting in my living room, sharing his wisdom in a casual, conversational way. He was sassy, sarcastic, funny, and most importantly, real. ... Continue Reading →
Another year went by, but this year wasn’t like all the others. This year Pointless Overthinking was born and I am very proud of it. This might sound cliché-ic, but it is not just a website or a blog or whatever. YOU made it a community and I am very thankful for it. It is... Continue Reading →
The other day I published an article on my blog about a couple of things I felt like I needed to get out there regarding love. And because of the controversy and people pointing their finger at me, I thought I'd get your opinion on these. 🙂 #1 Just because you're in love, doesn't mean... Continue Reading →
- Situation: you planned a meeting with one of your friends and in the last moment that person called to cancel it because something came up; - Internal monologue: “What? I cleared up my schedule so we can meet and this is how she treats me? We barely talk lately and I was really looking... Continue Reading →
Today is the Christmas Day so it’s that time of the year to give presents and everything (I don’t know why we need a time of the year for this, but anyway… we probably need something external to make us be nice with each other)! I hope you will have the best holidays of... Continue Reading →
In our culture we are often brought up with this lofty idea of being in peace with everyone. At it's best we should avoid hate at all costs and resolve all our conflicts and toxic relationships with people in order to live a harmonious life. And because most people have the fundamental need to feel... Continue Reading →
The second review of my book is up and I want to share it with you! Thank you so much Ashica for taking your time to read the book and for posting the review on both of your websites (the original blog post can be found on Scribblers Arena and on Ashica Ayyappa)! Book... Continue Reading →
