Why I Stopped Chasing Motivation (And What I Do Instead)
For most of my twenties, I chased motivation the way people chase quick success. I’d watch endless motivational videos, read self-improvement quotes, and tell myself that tomorrow I’d finally start being productive. Tomorrow, I’d wake up early, crush my goals, and live like the people in those inspiring montages. But tomorrow rarely came. And when it did, I felt the same lack of drive, the same resistance, the same craving for another dose of motivation to get going.

Chemical Confessions:
I wrote about alcohol as a truth serum before, and many wondered if the same logic applies to drugs. It’s a fair question. Both change chemistry, both change behavior, and both expose what’s already living under the skin. But they are not the same when deciphering verbal truths.

Word of the Day: 罪悪感
I think I passed my Japanese Quiz. I don't feel like bragging, I just feel like that is true. I don't feel good about it either though. I feel like I am cheating some how but, as I am explaining to my classmates completely more advanced words in Japanese, I just realized, I studied in advanced.

I Don't Want
Introduction This was from a post I wrote on Seven Days In from 2018. It was only two hundred words, so I thought I could extend it as it brought a couple of other things to mind, so I have used that as the start to this Vocal Confessional story.

Hey, You spent so much time wondering where God was in all of it. What you did not see then was that He was never far. Every moment you felt overlooked or misunderstood, He was guiding you through lessons that cannot be taught by comfort. You were not abandoned; you were being equipped.

(Part 1) To the Man I Was at 19: A Letter from You - 12 Years Wiser
Hey, You don’t realize it now, but the way you feel everything so strongly is not a flaw. It is proof that your heart works exactly as it should. You care deeply, you hurt deeply, and you see the world through empathy before logic. That is not weakness. It is the foundation of the man you will become.

What if You’re the Reason Nothing is changing?
Fortunately or unfortunately, we as individuals always feel responsible for our success or failure. Society tends to push such an individualistic mindset where we have to believe that everything depends on us 100% even when we know this not to be the case. Certainly this helps in terms of accountability but also comes with the downside of us always relying on ourselves even when that is counterproductive. There are instances where relying just on your own strength and wisdom isn’t enough, you need others to chyme in else you have no winning chance. Yet even when we recognize this, we still find ourselves doing everything.

Worked for a Secret Government Unit — Until They Erased My Memory
I used to think secret government programs were just conspiracy theories. The kind of stories people post online to make themselves feel important. I laughed at those people once. I don’t laugh anymore.

How My Obsession With Weight Almost Destroyed Me
Not so long ago, I became obsessed with food. I read articles about it, watched cooking videos, and most importantly, I loved eating. One time, while I was scrolling through some articles on Google, I came across one particular article that had a different topic than the others: weight loss. Up until this time, despite being a junk food lover, I thought my weight was fine. I grew up with everyone (teachers, parents, siblings, friends, family) telling me that I was way too skinny, but I never really took their words too seriously.
