Fun, not well known, fact
Here's an interesting phenomena: the "Barnum effect", named after P.T. Barnum of circus fame. It refers to the tendency of people to accept vague and general personality descriptions as uniquely applicable to themselves. This effect is often exploited by horoscopes and personality tests, showing how people tend to interpret general statements as highly personal and accurate.

The beauty
No one measures the beauty of a flower by its size. Similarly, a person's worth should not be measured by external achievements. Yes, it is nice to have achieved something! And yet - if the roots are lost, this joy can quickly end.

Demons: To whom it may concern (which is everyone)
When I tried to kill my demons, I did not realizeโ I was murdering parts of my own soul. They were never "demons". They were "unattended emotions", howling at the door of my consciousness. "Misunderstood desires", pounding on the walls of my morality. "Stuck frustration", rotting in the... read more

Independence in a relationship
I personally think itโs really underrated, of course the point of a relationship is being together and doing stuff together, but if youโre not able to function independently youโll probably make a mess together too Also itโs healthy to have time for yourself, how do you think about this?
