psychotherapy:
So are most marriages doomed to fail?
It is an archaic institution designed to expire concurrent with a woman’s childbearing years, just like in the olden days. The idea of two people changing together and—more importantly— accepting each others changes over a 50-year span is delusional unless that person is undeniably your best friend in the whole world. Ever.

Studying again for the CFA exam. I hope I won’t fail again because the exam is really expensive and I’ve pretty much wasted a lot of my time studying. I hope my strategy this time around would work out. This time I would stick with the curriculum books and not even take a look at the reviewer since it really turned my exam results upside down. The topics that I read from the curriculum...
Lots of things on my mind today…..

Failure is something that none of us want to experience but sometimes it just happens. Today, I received a really sad news, for 4 months I studied rigorously for my exam but still failed to make the cut. But that’s life. Sometimes we just fail. We may have our shortcomings but we could still stand back up and prove ourselves once again. Even with that amount of time, I wasn’t really...

I needed a friend and you just couldn’t be that friend. That’s when I knew you don’t give a damn about me.

I enjoy gaining new found knowledge in as much as I enjoy eating.
Intellect is when you understand the reason behind it; plain stupidity is when you stick to what is given without even knowing what is it about.
My work schedule makes me feel fatigued all the time and I feel as if all the time I have is allotted only for sleeping and work.
You can’t hide the pain when it’s written all over your face.

Life becomes marvelous when the right people surround you. If there’s someone in your life who puts you down, you can get them out. The circumstances rob you of the hope you need, but I want you to know that life can really be okay and more. Don’t worry about the recession or the things you can’t afford or the things that hurt. Go and live, please. Please love yourself.

Traumatic Experiences May Make You Tough (APS) →
via The Association for Psychological Science:
“Your parents were right: Hard experiences may indeed make you tough. Psychological scientists have found that, while going through many experiences like assault, hurricanes, and bereavement can be psychologically damaging, small amounts of trauma may help people develop resilience.

I don’t remember when was the last time I wrote a poem. All I remember is that I write poems about despair and sadness, the feelings that poetry is designed to give life to. Poetry has always been a good channel for negativity and it is really difficult to express in words such feelings of gratitude and joy as it is to express melancholy. I have been reading sincesheleft for a long time and...

Wishful and probably foolish thinking
What if you just don’t like your job and your career path isn’t really aligned with the work you are at at the moment? I’ve been working for roughly 4 months for a financial services firm and I’m really very much frustrated on how people are telling me to stay at my job just because it would be bad for my resume if I leave too early. I just want a job that’s aligned...
