"The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel."

How to Flourish During Adulthood
1. Develop a generative mission. If you feel that you’re at loose ends or that your life lacks purpose, try volunteering or helping others-it’s addictive!
2. Try to view your failures and upsetting life experiences as learning lessons. Understand that life’s tragedies and disappointments offer us our best opportunities to grow
3. To keep your mind fine-tuned as you age, take care of your physical health. In particular, avoid heart disease
4. In general, be interested in learning and developing as a person
5. When you feel in role overload or role conflict, establish priorities, work hard in your most important areas, and rely on external aids to help you perform at your best.
6. Think postformally: Be open to different perspectives; question your established ideas and ways of thinking; be aware of your inner feelings and use them as a guide to make wise life choices.

What I’m about to describe to you isn’t a Halloween story, it’s very real…
Imagine you’re sitting in your house when armed soldiers burst in. They pin you down and chop off the arms and legs of you and your family.
80,000 people have experienced this horror story as a result of the diamond conflict in Sierra Leone. This week, I’m raising money to give hundreds of people artificial limbs, restoring their life & humanity!
A message from whatthebarnacles
Where has this blog been all my life? Well, that's not my question. Actually my situation is complicated.I'm super socially awk but I find it that I'm totally not when I'm not sober and that deeply saddens me. I also dislike the fact that I'm here in college and I should be having the time of my life with all the new fun people that I'm meeting but I'm not. I'm kinda just watching everyone else have a good time with their friends while i look on the sidelines wishing that was me having fun.
