Mental Models

We go through life without ever questioning what we believe, even though many of those beliefs could easily be wrong. Our worldviews, perspectives, and beliefs can change just by listening to others. Because people take the time to share their thoughts, opinions, and knowledge, we get the chance to do so. That’s why I’m here doing the same, looking at life differently, challenging common beliefs, and learning to think in new ways. I also want to encourage others to do the same, because the more

The Unseen Ripple Effect of a Careless Breakup

Mental Models ·

2025/07/13

We might think that the decisions we make in our own affairs don’t have that much effect on other people’s lives but that’s not true at all. The results of our actions influence the lives of a lot of people around us and could actually have a big impact. That’s why I think we can’t think too easily about what we do and how we act and react.Got questions or want to have a conversation with me?

Burnout isn’t your fault, it’s just a sign you’re...

Mental Models ·

2025/07/05

Experiencing (or having experienced) any form of burnout is very hard to deal with. Maybe not only the fact you have to go through it but maybe just as much having to deal with the opinions from others around this matter. In my opinion, being burnt out is not directly your fault but a gathering of different aspects that drift you off from your own human nature.Got questions or want to have a conversation with me?

There’s nothing worse than always being told what to do and what to think by others.

Quitting’s a myth, you can only replace things

Mental Models ·

2025/06/07

Sometimes we think that we want (or need) to quit something, and we try to make that happen but somehow it doesn’t work and we think we’re not strong enough. But the truth is you’re never strong enough if you don't have a strong enough reason. Because it’s impossible to actually quit something, we can only replace something with something else.Got questions or want to have a conversation with me?

There’s no good reason to pull yourself through something you don’t want to do and that doesn’t align with you. That’s why it’s actually not bad at all to quit something.

Emotional intelligence not only helps me to understand the root cause behind my own feelings and emotions but also behind the people around me. Understanding and being aware of these makes it easier for me to know how to act and how not to act and to make the right decisions for myself and towards the people around me.Got questions or want to have a conversation with me?

‘Work-Life’ Balance Doesn't Exist

‘Work-Life’ Balance Doesn't ExistChasing work-life balance makes life harder than it needs to be. It’s a fake goal that only adds pressure, making people feel guilty when they work hard and lazy when they take time off, leading to burnout and frustration. The truth is, life has never been perfectly "balanced," and trying to achieve balance only makes things worse. Sometimes work takes more time, sometimes other things do, and that’s just how life flows. Instead of seeing work as an

Sick of Clueless People Judging You?

Sick of Clueless People Judging You?People have opinions about things they know nothing about, lacking real insight. To be able to form a solid opinion you need to experience both sides of an argument. Emotions often cloud critical thinking, like in courts or politics, leading to unfair judgments. Democracy needs us to use critical thinking and accept all views to work properly. Opinion pieces based on half-truths don’t matter much, just as philosophy shapes how we think by staying open-minded.More:

Why Would You Want to Stop Overthinking?

Why Would You Want to Stop Overthinking?Overthinking isn’t bad, it’s actually a strength that helps us to learn and understand more, improving our emotional intelligence. People who don’t overthink might act fast but miss out on smart ideas and growth, which causes anxiety. Overthinking only becomes a problem when we don’t act and test our thoughts. Non-overthinkers act without fear, but overthinkers who take risks and reflect can do amazing things. The real issue isn’t over thinking, it’s being too

2025/03/02

You're Afraid of What Others Think, But Nobody Actually CaresMost of the things we stress about don’t actually matter as much as we think because people are too busy with their own lives to care. We hold ourselves back because we’re afraid of what others might think, but in reality, they’re not even paying attention. So instead of letting this fear stop us, we should use it as freedom to try, fail, and improve without that unnecessary pressure. Even the biggest successes or failures are quickly
