Three Reasons for Falling Short

by Lydia Nolan Lately I have lost motivation for everything I had desire for or to do, or any journey to take. I had plans to carry out various goals and strategies someday. I am no longer interested in going forward at all. Something is amiss. I have read enough psychological articles, books, biographies toContinueContinue reading “Three Reasons for Falling Short”

Our Theory of Friendship

by Lydia Nolan © October 31, 2022 “A friend sticks to, through thick or thin, If they don’t, then, they don’t understand the true meaning of a friend.” ~Lydia Nolan Families usually do not encompass friendship.

Peripherals

Being a writer isn’t always glamorous. In fact, it’s not glamorous at all, at least not while you are actually writing. Furthermore, it is a lonely endeavor.

Maybe that’s why people feel the need to come to others’ rescue. If they’ve never struggled they may not understand what others are goingContinueContinue reading “I’m a Sap for Strugglers…”
