I know what is within me and what I am capable of in all regards in life. Self-confidence is what I gained by accomplishing the goals, and the applause ...

I need to confront these issues once and for all. My brain is telling me to do so now, without deliberating on it.

First, sometimes I think of my intellect in terms of a scale (hard to explain). I think that one of my actions could be one of the worst actions, so there's this fear of committing a blunder that somehow sticks in the national consciousness more. One thing I've used to combat this ...

I was asking my self the question, what I've done with my life so far and was I the only one making my life or the people around me. I'm looking back in my life, cause a human is awake when he knows his past, his present and is making future.

Hi, everyone. I'm a married mother of three young children and I have absolutely reached the point that i hate myself. And I don't hate easily. I am absolutely 100% worthless to any and everyone in my family now and I can't seem to dig my way out of this hole. I beat alcoholism two years ago and I can say I'm very proud of that fact. However, I seem to keep getting into more ...

For starters I really hope I have this in the right section...
