Self-Worth Based on Parental Treatment

This is something I blogged nearly ten years ago. Unfortunately, I had repeated some of these old patterns after my marriage ended seven years ago.  From February 10, 2011:  We often base our own self worth by how the people we love treat us. While I was rummaging through some old journals, I flipped through... Continue Reading →

Brain Purging on a Road Trip

I haven’t posted in a while due to being so busy working and other things that have taken up my time.

Too Nice = Wants Something In Return

It’s nice, and even refreshing, meeting genuinely nice people, but when they are too nice, something is definitely up. I used to give "too-nice" people the benefit of the doubt, thinking they’re not in it for themselves or for another purpose. After observing too-nice people during my lifetime, my perspective has changed, and I learned... Continue Reading →
