35 Gifts Your Children Will Never Forget – Becoming Minimalist

“Gifted” Is Just a Word for Kids Who Peak in Fourth Grade

I used to be a genius.

I say that with the same smirk I imagine washed-up child actors wear when they introduce themselves at Comic-Con. “Hi, I was the kid in that thing once.” Except instead of a minor role in a Nickelodeon sitcom, my legacy was an above-average ability to finish a worksheet before the rest of the class finished reading the instructions. I was a “gifted kid.” Capital G. Capital K. The kind of kid teachers talked about in the teacher’s lounge like a draft pick they were grooming for the majors.

Do I tell my friends wife that he’s cheating on her?

I’m 33 years old and have been friends with this guy since we were toddlers. He’s been married for 3 years, and they’ve been together for 6. I know his wife pretty well—we used to hang out as a trio often, though that’s happened less since they had a baby last year.

Lately, he’s been opening up to me about how hard becoming a dad has been on his marriage. He says he barely spends any time with his wife anymore and feels disconnected. I’m not married and I don’t have kids, but I try to be a supportive listener while gently reminding him that some of this is what comes with the territory.

“My Husband’s Rich, I’m Poor”

I love my husband. He’s kind, generous to my family, and a great dad. But financially, things feel really unfair.

We’ve been together 6 years, married for almost 3, with a 5-year-old son. He now makes over $2 million a year, has millions in savings, and I’ve averaged $45k/year. I recently folded my business, filed bankruptcy, and now consult, making around $8k/month. Still, I’m expected to cover groceries, utilities, preschool, kid expenses, pet costs, and household items—often leaving me broke, with nothing for myself or savings.

How to Stick With a Habit (Even When You Don’t Feel Like It)

Starting a habit is easy.

Sticking with it? That’s where most people fall off.

Everyone’s motivated in the beginning. You buy the new notebook. You set the alarm. You tell yourself, This time it’s different.

But a few days or weeks in, life gets busy. You’re tired. Bored. Frustrated that it’s not working fast enough.

So here’s the truth: if you want your habit to last, motivation isn’t the answer.

Consistency is.

Take the Photo. You’ll Be Glad You Did.

Some people don’t like being in pictures. That’s fine. That’s normal. That’s a whole personality type now—let’s call it anti-photo syndrome. It’s a cocktail of self-consciousness, rebellion against vanity, a vague hatred of how you look in fluorescent lighting, and a philosophical distrust of the idea that anything meaningful can be captured in JPEG form. I get it. I’ve been that guy.

What Is the Psychology of Someone Who Feels They Are Unworthy of Love?

Let’s just name it: Feeling like you’re unworthy of love is a kind of quiet pain that follows you everywhere. It’s not always loud. Sometimes it whispers. Sometimes it screams. But it’s there—in your relationships, in your self-talk, in the way you flinch when someone gets too close or pays you a compliment.
