#self-discovery

That night, surrounded by seventh-grade boys, I learned to navigate my feelings in an environment where masculinity was displayed so brazenly, yet so innocently.

Choose delusion. Every single thing you think is "realistic" about your life is actually just someone else's delusion that you've agreed to live inside.

The new album shows a maturity in Kline's writing as she reflects on aging, self-discovery, and collaboration with her band to create a cohesive sound.

I realized this when I turned 50. I had worked in one of Washington, D.C.'s largest law firms, enjoyed a political appointment in the US Justice Department, was married to a well-to-do attorney, took lavish vacations, and belonged to a country club. But I felt empty.

The shadow is not just the darkness in us. 90% of it is pure gold, said Carl Jung, who coined the term.

"If [music] had anything but piano and organ, like if it had electric guitar or drums, it was considered Satanic or bad," he says, highlighting the extremism of his parents' beliefs. "We weren't allowed to go to movie theaters, we weren't allowed to watch movies, we didn't have TV. All the girls in our house had to wear skirts ... even to bed, I had to wear skirts."

I still experience moments of self-doubt and insecurity. The difference now is that I don't allow those moments to define my competence.

"As an adult, my ex was having some problems, and I had to check him into a psych ward. That night, I went to a party... I realized that I had turned into my mother, and it hit me that family trauma isn't funny."

The Alters combines base building and sim management in a sci-fi narrative about self-discovery, following Jan as he navigates life and survival on an alien planet.

"Byron is at school, without much of a support system, bouncing between their mum's, dad's and Mammar Joe's homes, with a desperate internal desire to escape."

"Based on what you know about me and my business from our conversations, what might I be pretending not to know? Identify three specific blind spots or uncomfortable truths I might be avoiding."

After years of shaving my pubic hair, I was shocked when I discovered one day that it just disappeared entirely. Nothing could prepare me for that.

I'm a real people pleaser-I often prioritize the needs of others over my own and carry a constant concern for their well-being. While that can be a beautiful human superpower, my fixation on pleasing everyone sometimes leads me away from my true self.

"A lot of times, female comedians in this male-dominated field feel like you have to be one of the guys-dress like a guy and present really masculine..."

I feel the urge to ride when I see someone on a scooter or motorcycle. I ran into my friend Paul at the Pump Station Cafe. He was going for a ride.
