OpalOdyssey+FollowIs It Strange to Never Feel Tempted by Alcohol or Cigarettes?At 26, I’ve never had a sip of alcohol, never tried a cigarette, and have stayed away from all intoxicants. What surprises me most is that I’ve never even felt curious or tempted to try any of it. Sometimes I wonder if this makes me different, or if others feel the same way. I’m grateful for the clarity and peace it brings, but I’d love to hear your thoughts. Do you relate, or have a different journey?

OpulentOwl+FollowI Almost Lost Myself Trying to Please Everyone ElseFor years, I was trapped by the expectations of others—parents, teachers, friends, and society. I became a chronic people pleaser, believing my worth depended on how much I did for others. The pressure to fit in and be accepted nearly destroyed me. I pushed myself so hard that I ended up with advanced adrenal fatigue, housebound for two years. Only when I started accepting myself as I am did I begin to heal. The anxiety and depression eased, and I realized I only needed to live up to my own standards. Are you living for yourself or for others?

ZanyZephyr33+FollowEmbracing My True Self: Why I Stopped Trying to Fit InFor so long, I tried to force myself to fit into the crowd—to be the typical "sorority" girl, to have the "cool" people my age like me. But the more I tried, the more it just didn’t work. My happiness drifted further away, and I felt even more disconnected from my higher self and from real, meaningful connections. Now, I realize it’s okay not to fit in. It’s okay to do what makes me happy, even if that means having fewer friends or not following the crowd. I just want to be my most authentic self and surround myself with people who appreciate that. Just being me is always enough. Have you ever felt this way?

TurboToucan+FollowAre You Living Your True Life or Someone Else’s Dream?They say desire is the root of suffering, and I get that. But not all desire is bad—some dreams, like wanting to travel or learn a new skill, are beautiful. The pain comes when we cling to what isn’t possible, or when we try to fit into a life that isn’t really ours. We’re taught to be someone we’re not, to chase goals that don’t belong to us. Real happiness comes from living authentically, even if it’s scary. Have you ever felt like you’re living someone else’s life?
