Do you ever see wild animals? : Have you ever seen a wild animal? If someone answers no to this question, they might be living under a rock, because technically, squirrels, chipmunks, birds, rats, and mice are all considered wild animals! But there's one particular animal I haven't seen, and I really wish I could - with my own eyes, not just in photos: a wolf.

One Thing I’d Change About Myself
What is one thing you would change about yourself? If you've been reading my blog for a while, you know that I struggle with depression, anxiety, and a host of other mental health issues. And if I'm being honest, there's one thing I'd change about myself if I could: how I view certain situations. It's easy for others to say "just change your perspective" or "stop letting it affect you," but it's not that simple when you're living it.

A Poem of Heartache and Self-Discovery

I have one question for the man who says loves me,Why? Not how, not when, not where did you fall,But why am I just another check mark on your list?It's not my smile, or my laugh?I don't do that often, I don't light up a room,I'm not a solution to your inner…

The First Impression I Want to Give: A Glimpse into My Soul
What's the first impression you want to give people? If you've been reading this blog for any length of time, you know that I'm a kind, loving, and caring soul. However, I want to make one thing clear: I won't tolerate being taken advantage of or ignored. If you don't give me a chance to explain myself or consistently disregard my feelings, I will eventually reach my breaking point.

Do I Trust My Instincts? The Answer is 51… But Let’s Be Real, It’s a Solid “Meh”

Do you trust your instincts? I've been pondering this question for a while now, and the answer is surprisingly simple: no. I don't fully trust my instincts. The number 51 might suggest a more optimistic outlook, but let's be real, it's probably just the universe being polite. The truth is, if I relied solely on my instincts, I'd be in a constant state of anxiety, eating Cicekli pizza for every meal, and wearing socks with sandals (don't judge me).

Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. Scorpio As a Scorpio, I know I'm not alone in feeling like we're a bit… intense. We analyze things to death, we fight for what we believe in, and we love with every fiber of our being. And you know what? I'm proud of that. I think we deserve a holiday of our own - a day to celebrate our resilience, our strength, and our unwavering commitment to the people and causes we care about.

Success 🤔 Please Wait…
Today's jetpack question asks: when you think of the word "successful," who comes to mind and why? I believe the answer to this question really depends on your definition of success. Some people think it's about accumulating wealth, while others believe it's about pursuing their passions and achieving their goals. For me, success is a personal and subjective concept. If you think you're successful in life or in whatever you're trying to achieve, don't let others define your journey for you.
