What is a model Human Being Anyway?
Life has a funny way of taking us down different and unexpected pathways and situations which require breaking sometimes even our most heavily sacred boundaries for the sake of survival and progress. I would like to believe I am ethical in my approach to life, but i’ve admittedly had to play the bad guy more than once for my own self preservation.

The Cat and the Path
The alley behind the apartment building had long been avoided. It was not dangerous, not in the way one might expect. No one had been mugged there, no street fights erupted, and no flickering lights signaled a hidden threat. It was merely… unwelcoming. The paint on the walls peeled in stubborn, curling strips, and the garbage bins teetered on the curb as if daring anyone to disturb them. Stray cats claimed every corner, arching their backs at intruders and hissing when challenged. Even the air smelled of damp bricks and yesterday’s refuse, a mixture of rot and rain.

HEALING
Have you ever felt like the things you own are actually owning you? I used to live in a state where my mind and surroundings were a chaotic mess. I was a true "hoarder." Not just old shoes and nameless souvenirs, but I also hoarded dusty memories and endless thoughts. I used to believe that keeping things would bring me peace of mind, but the reality was quite the opposite. Everything just accumulated, turning into an invisible pressure that exhausted me and trapped me in a cycle of overthinking – thinking too much but solving very little.

The Failure Resume
THE RESUME NOBODY SHOWS Every successful person has a hidden resume of catastrophic failures, humiliating rejections, devastating losses, and terrible decisions that they rarely discuss publicly because success narratives are expected to be clean upward trajectories rather than honest accounts of the stumbling, falling, and crawling that actually characterize every meaningful achievement, and this sanitized presentation of success creates a false impression that successful people were always successful and that failure is a sign of fundamental inadequacy rather than a necessary component of growth. The failure resume concept, popularized by Stanford professor Tina Seelig, involves documenting your failures with the same pride and detail you give your achievements, because your failures contain more useful information than your successes and because reviewing them reveals patterns of risk-taking, learning, and resilience that are far more predictive of future success than any list of accomplishments that were probably built on the foundation of prior failures you do not mention.
