Too many people forget that when they take on the responsibility. How we treat animals says a lot about how we…goldice (65)in Reflections • 3 days agoRE: Unawakened ThoughtsI like the idea that every thought has an opportunity cost. That’s something we don’t usually consider. If my mind is busy replaying small worries or things I can’t control, I’m…goldice (65)in Reflections • 4 days agoRE: Saving it for Later. “Saving energy for what?” That question stayed with me.

Life…goldice (65)in Reflections • 4 days agoRE: Close on the HostI smiled at the potato part, every family has that one dish that doesn’t go as planned.

Wanting your child to feel belonging, even when you don’t fully…goldice (65)in Reflections • 6 days agoRE: Nothing but a NumberI love the idea that honoring those who came before us means building forward, not replaying their lives on repeat. Life goes on, society moves, and we’re meant to move with it.…goldice (65)in Reflections • 6 days agoRE: Save My SoulYou are very correct about views being meaningless. A view is just someone passing by, not someone stopping to listen. Most social media platforms keep rewarding noise, not…goldice (65)in Reflections • 12 days agoRE: Up in FlamesIf a belief only works when people lie to support it, then something is already broken. Truth doesn’t need fake images or made-up stories to survive. Lying might bring attention…goldice (65)in Reflections • 14 days agoRE: Gold Cage LosersThe part about the internet making people faceless really hit home.

I’ve seen the same thing…goldice (65)in Reflections • 15 days agoRE: The Fullness of Empty SpaceThe part about instantly searching for answers stood out. I can’t remember the last time I tried to figure something out without my phone. Even small moments of curiosity are…goldice (65)in Reflections • 16 days agoRE: Through One EarWhat stood out to me is how much trust and calm you built before anything even happened.

It shows that…goldice (65)in Reflections • 18 days agoRE: Average Weight TimesI never thought about it this way, but you’re right, the issue isn’t just weight, it’s the whole package, physical ability, confidence, coping skills, mental wellbeing. When kids…goldice (65)in Reflections • 21 days agoRE: Be The PartI really like the point about treating everyone the same, whether they’re a president or a waitress.

A lot of us confuse the two. We think accepting ourselves means we no longer have to try, but real…goldice (65)in Reflections • 28 days agoRE: Whine of the InexperiencedI agree that expectations play a big role. Many Gen-Z workers want purpose delivered to them instead of building purpose through action. But I also think part of the gap comes…goldice (65)in Reflections • 28 days agoRE: Mister Fixit What really stood out to me is how you described learning by necessity.
