It typically takes 3-4 months to see noticeable results, so don’t be discouraged if you don’t see immediate changes. Keep your scalp clean before application to ensure better absorption. 2. Caffeine tonic For maximum regrowth, applying the caffeine tonic every day is generally recommended.…

This is my second chapter of my journey towards self-improvement. In this chapter (and quite a few chapters thereafter), I will focus on how I can gradually change myself from within before I can demonstrate such matters through my actions. The ultimate goal I am striving for is to see a clear, positive evolution in my behavior and lifestyle. Only then can I truly become happy with myself and my…

i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.
Get over the shame and the lack of confidence and the fear of failure and the imposter syndrome. Nobody cares. Some people are cruel and mean and love to watch others fail. So what? Do you really want to prove them right? Get the fuck up, we’re chasing our dreams like our lives depend on it because, in case you forgot, they do.
Update: I wrote this at like 1 AM, so I was kind of half-asleep lol. A few people brought up that there were a bunch of duplicates in the list, sorry about that! I redid the whole list and ordered them alphabetically to avoid any repeating words. Hope you find the new list much more helpful!
Hobbies are a great way to practice self-care, and to have as a stress reliever. As uni students, we often find ourselves stressed out about our academic responsibilities, projects deadlines, and even financial concerns.

Just like others, you are a person! If you are struggling to love yourself, consider how you treat yourself. Would you authentically love someone who talks to you the way you do? How can you expect to love yourself when you wouldn't even be friends with someone who treats others that way? It is an act of self-disrespect to ignore your own needs and desires.
I don't say this to make you feel ashamed of your self-talk, but rather to invoke a look outside for a change. We are always looking inside ourselves so often that we don't notice our simple worth as a person, a human, a being on the earth. Millions of people consider themselves the one exception.
You deserve to eat yummy foods like our friends do. You deserve to be treated with respect like our peers do. You deserve to feel the sun on your face the same way a flower does. You deserve to forgive yourself for things that you regret. You deserve more than "I'm used to it." You deserve to move your body the same way a dog deserves to be taken on a walk. You deserve to live a fulfilling life where your needs are met.
It's time to apologize to yourself. It's time to take accountability for all the ways you antagonized yourself. It's time to mend the relationship with your own body and your own mind. You don't have to keep fighting with yourself, you are allowed to repair things that have been broken. Offer yourself grace and kindness, just as you would for others. Forgive yourself by making it up to yourself.

Alhamdulillah a ceasefire has finally been agreed upon but unfortunately it is only for 5 days. As frustrated as I am that it’s only for such a short amount of time, I’m also relieved for the people of Gaza to have a bit of a break to breathe, and they’ll be getting unlimited amount of aid coming in thank God! Praying that a miracle happens and this ceasefire stays forever and praying the IDF do not go against their word and break the agreement (because I very much struggle to trust anything the Israeli govt says)
