Forgiving others has been a difficult task for me in the past. Despite my strong desire to forgive someone and remove the burden from my shoulders, there was something missing from my process of forgiveness. It took me years and a lot of self-reflection to realize that there was one stop I didn’t visit before reaching the other person’s station: myself. I…

If you think you’re finally ready to be in a romantic relationship, think again. Even if you think you are and get into one, the issues that will pop up after a few months or years will give you a definite answer. The problem is we think we need to work through many issues before meeting our partner. We need to work on our…

A few months ago, after looking at a video I posted on my Insta Stories, I smiled and told someone I was with that I was kind of charming. They looked at me and told me that I sounded like I was getting full of myself. They said it lightly, but I could tell that they also felt it, at least in some way. I wasn’t though.
