Do differing values really alter lived experience?

Our Evening Tea ·

2025/11/23

Is each lived experience truly unique to the next? Do unique values equate to unique potential, and if so, is such potential able to be realized and lived out in the world as we live in today? Is there any standard answer to the deeper questions of what miht be righteous desire and action, or are we each tasked with finding some balance between what we would want, what people say we should want, what we can get, and what we all wish we could get?Join us as we talk, and hop into the comments or our

Does coping not require pause?

Our Evening Tea ·

2025/11/16

Tragic occurences have been plaguing life and all people for so long that in the background of any moment- at all times- are stacks and stacks of things we still need to process- or move on from and ignore. Yet, we as humanity have no clear consensus on which we should pursue… so in this episode of Our Evening Tea, we try to delve in a bit and discuss the issue of if we should be slowing down society to allow for coping and processing of the tragedies and trauma which have been happening, or if we

Let's Normalize: Starting from scratch in later years

Our Evening Tea ·

2025/11/02

Kids have dreams, but this current world society all too often strips us of those dreams as we grow into what we can find comfort and safety in within the adult world. But as we get older and fledgling mid-life crises begin to peak their heads into our lives, the question arises of if we should drop the lives we’ve been building, in order to chase the dreams we all but gave up on earlier in life. Can we really make our childhood dreams come true when starting so late? What about those people who

Self-belief and determination vs corruption

Our Evening Tea ·

2025/10/26

Pressure comes from everywhere, all the time, bombarding us in our easiest and toughest decisions- and though some of that pressure might be well-intended, none of it seems to be beneficial, unless come from the self. However, in this episode, we discuss this and more in our seeking to find the answers to how to believe in ourselves even when noone else does.Join us as we talk, and hop into the comments or our Subscribers-only Chat Space on Substack to get deeper into this topic (and more) with

Claim successes but not failures?

Our Evening Tea ·

2025/10/19

As humans, we tend all to often to claim our failures as being the fault each of our own; at the same time, we auction off the claim to our successes to whichever highest bidder happens to be in the vicinity. In this episode, we talk all about success and failure and their causes, even reaching the point where we realize- and go into depth discussing- that we should probably be claiming our successes as our own, and not clinging too hard to our failures other than to learn from them for the future

Is Marriage Culture a Problem Today?

Our Evening Tea ·

2025/10/12

Is Worry Worth the Worry?

Our Evening Tea ·

2025/09/21

Worrying comes naturally to most people, is uncomfortable for all, yet feels productive- seemingly a necessary evil, if you will- but is this universal mindstate truly productive? Do we gain anything from spending our energy planning for things we can never predict or direct anyways? What does preparing ourselves for the worst actually do? Is there any benefit, or is the worry not worth the lost peace of mind?Join us as we talk, and hop into the comments or our Subscribers-only Chat Space on
