On Pornography, Sexuality and Self-Esteem
Long time no write up! You’ll have to excuse my lack of posts this past month. As always, I get occupied with studies and other parts of my life.

It’s been a little while since my last post! I’ve been very busy doing other things, such as going on my one year anniversary trip with my partner and also thinking about what I’d like to do during my long summer vacation. Part of the things that I want to do more of is write, […]
My First Book – Published

The Short Term Doesn’t Exist
Something I have recently heard in discussions is the dichotomy between the “short term” and “long term” goal mindsets; the idea that you can create goals across the span of a certain amount of time, with some of it being defined as “long”, and other goals defined as “short”.

The Importance of Productivity
Last week, I didn’t have much work to do, and most of what I had to do was quite menial and not very stimulating on a cognitive level. It’s not that often I get weeks as free as that, but it happened, and most of my time was spent doing my usual routine activities, and […]
