They don’t really stress me out and there’s … More To Think Or To Overthink, That Is The Question
For some reason, the first thing that pops in to my mind whenever I think of Valentine’s Day is that Simpsons episode where Ralph is the only kid who doesn’t receive a card from his classmates.

My mind is not my friend. It tells me to skip my workout today, I’ve been good all week, why over exert myself? It tells me to start applying for jobs tomorrow, there’s no real urgency today. It tells me to cancel plans, I deserve some me-time. It tells me to ignore the sink full … More My Mind Is Not My Friend
As much as it may suck sometimes, the past cannot be changed: fact. What we can change though, is our reaction to past events.
