Own your life. This concept gets thrown around alot as we are "told" to be more responsible for our own life. This concept however isn't wrong; in this episode, I share abit more of my thoughts on that and how we tend to sway from this concept, as we could blame things on the "neo-natural" disaster. From overcrowded gym due to the June holidays or even taffic jams; so how far back should we own our lives?

And somethings knowing how to own our lives also knowing where to "hit back"

We all know beggars can't be choosers, but what happens when you decided to give someone and non-obligatory gift but it all turns for the worse when your gesture of goodwill and bought down a rabbit hole of chaos; as the receiver of the gift wants more?

It's a strange world.

In this episode, I shared about my mental wellbeing and experiencing after going for a week on Prozac (Fluoxetine). I decided to try out Prozac after being on Setraline (hovid/zoloft) for around 1 year and find myself unable to adapt to the fatigue after the 2nd dosage. After hitting a low in motivation, my doctor encourages me to try something else again and this time I decided to say yes. I always thought Setraline is a "saftey net", but find myself lingering but haven't seen much improvement after. So far Prozac seems great, and I'm trying to stay more positive to be better.

In this episode of Rye off React; Chilli and I looked at this situationship of someone who got alittle too involved with her neighbour. It seems like what transpired made her neighbour to go for her time and again, not taking no for an answer and being very sure it was not just a one-time thing. Fun, Alcohol but sometimes things can get tricky if someone sees something else and feelings are involved. This person however took it to a whole level of harassment, and "attacked" her when she did not give in.

How should one do when faced with something like this? Lets dive in and find out!

In this episode of Rye off the Bat, I explore the difference between Naysayers and "Shouldsayers" and how the latter is harder to deter. It is easy to go against Naysayers; when their views contrast really easily with yours. But what about Shouldsayers? when their values and thoughts could blur so well with yours and even made you doubt yourself?

In this episode, Chilli and I stumbled upon this heavy story that unravelled alot more than we thought. How does one deals with LGBTQ friendship when the partner has little to non-awareness or is prone to say insensitive things? How can decades of friendship navigate through this; despite weddings being supposed to be events of bliss? It was a difficult one, but sometimes the world just needs to be alittle kinder.

Do we let the red flag stay? or go?

A little rye of the bat; a poetry performance, a recap of my love, my birthdays and hello to my birthday present. Prozac.

Should they help bear the utilities and misc cost? What if they are financially doing not as well?

How about what if they have kids? Should we take care of the partner's kid as well?

In this episode Chilli and I dissected this interesting story of a dating couple whom both each have their own space. Out of kindness, one of them asked if they would like to share a place (paying for half her mortgage) and... guess what? Listen to find out!

Take it personally, be responsible for your life; these words resonated with me and reminded me of this story that I'll love to share. It was incredibly hard and emotionally exhausting serving your friend as a realtor. This is quite a personal story and it still haunts me to some extend to this day, making me wonder if I wasn't patient enough or if I was good enough. And I took it personally; and make it a point to be a better person, to love myself more from there.

(Trigger Warning)

In this unexpected heavy episode; we actually contemplated stopping recording altogether but decided to push through.

It was definitely alot more heavier than we thought we can handle but it also shed alot of light on how one, in the face of PTSD can seek help and how it was difficult even with help and how it also affects people around that individual.

It was probably one of the most difficult episode to record to date, and lets just dive in slow, unravel; take a breather if you need or skip this episode altogether.

Note the trigger warning tag.
