How to budget
How to budget Do you feel like your finances are out of control? Or maybe you have a financial goal in mind that seems out of reach…the down payment on a new home, a new car, travel plans (or dreams). I was scared to look into my spending for years, I just made sure to…

How to miss your calling
This one is about regret. It’s been years now and somehow I still feel it, maybe that’s how you know it was supposed to be your calling. Seems to me that the concept of a calling is on the same level as a soulmate– something whimsical that our culture would have you believe the universe…

How to live with long-term insomnia

I think we all know that’s some internet bullshit kind of advice to give. Sure, hydration is important and honestly it will probably be included somewhere in this post anyway,…
