Rebuttal to a Wrong Doing
************************** I know I'm not completely off the hook; there's always something I could've done differently. But the coldness of the situation really gets to me. After all the time I spent volunteering, getting brushed off hurts. I never got paid; I did it because I cared and was committed.

Let’s Throw a Pity Party!!!
************************ Party of One: Embracing the Chaos of Self-Pity *********************** Mastering the Art of Self-Pity Nowadays, I throw "pity parties" more to reflect than to wallow—those self-pity days are behind me.

Procrastination
************************ What even is procrastination? ************************ What tasks do you usually put off the most? For me, it's the everyday stuff that often gets pushed aside, even though it's important.

Choices
*********************** This one or That one? *********************** Remember, there is ALWAYS more than one option! When people say "man of few words," it often suggests someone who either finds it hard to communicate or just prefers being quiet, which might seem negative.
