In this episode Rye off React, we came across this story to discuss. Some friendships are tough, especially when it is at the mercy of both party's mental health. It's hard to balance, but sometimes do we set ourselves on fire to keep others warm?

In this episode, I'm feeling alittle positive and productive as I'd been trying to switch things up. There's always a pocket of time available; especially timing in between our tasks, appointments or during commutes.

Being aware of these times could also give us the chance to come up with mini-tasks that help us take tiny steps towards our goal, and these are 3 steps on how we can get to it!

In this interesting episode of Rye off React; Chilli and I dive into something alittle different. It's common for people to get a tattoo in a foreign language, what if the tattoo isn't what the person thinks it is, or worse, if the tattoo means something offensive?

Would you tell your friend the true meaning of their ink?

It was until my therapist pointed this part out that made me more aware of my nervous laughter tendencies; yes, I laugh at inappropriate times.

It's hard to lose your love ones, or to see people you love lose the ones closest to them.

It hasn't been the brightest and the best year with death looming in recent times; and I figured it's time for me to talk about it...

From my first experience with death to date, to how I stopped looking at the faces of the ones who passed because it's too much for me to take.

In this episode of Rye off React, Chilli and I talked about gifts! It may differ in culture, but is it weird to buy something for a neighbour's pet?

I don't want to make my neighbour felt any sort of obligation yet don't want to be weird as well. But wanted to do something for my neighbours cat; so what should I do?

Depression is really a strange thing to cope; when your friends ask you to seemingly "undepress" yourself. If only it is as easy as flicking a switch. This Chinese New Year period probably got me shagged out, and here I am... checking in

What if your parents deny you of a certain truth about your family tree and your family origin? Do you continue to find out or... just live with it?
