Endless Self Doubt
Sometimes I wonder if there is something existential about us having self-doubt. I rarely come across a person who experiences none of it as thought a complete lack would be suicidal. Perhaps it is. Perhaps self-doubt serves a purpose to us. A similar purpose like fear – something that holds us back from going offContinue reading “Endless Self Doubt”

Fun Fact: Mental Health Is Not about Being Calm
Last week it was mental health awareness day and what it did for me is make me aware of how little people know about mental health.

Why Sorry Seems to Be the Hardest Word
Making mistakes seems almost too easy sometimes. So easy that sometimes we don’t even notice we are making them.
