How to Live in the Present: My Journey to a More Fulfilling Life
how does one live in the present? For a long time, I didn’t realize I wasn’t living in the moment. Every day felt like a blur, a series of tasks I was simply going through the motions to complete. I’d wake up, dread getting out of bed, and spend the day waiting for the workday to end, just so I could scroll aimlessly through TikTok. I wasn’t productive. I wasn’t happy.

Coping with Detachment: Finding Meaning in Life
Today’s topic I will be covering Detachment and how I cope. Do you ever feel like life isn’t real? Like you wake up each day, but everything seems like an illusion? It’s a strange sensation, isn’t it? You go through the motions, but it feels like you’re in a dream, almost unable to believe that what you’re experiencing is genuine.
