I'm 38 and I noticed last week that I have been waiting for someone to tell me I'm allowed to rest, and the person I have been waiting for is me, and I have apparently been holding out on myself for about twenty years - Silicon Canals

Rest requires self-permission, not just knowledge of its benefits.

You Need to Stop Imagining Gatekeepers and Take Control

Stop treating vanished external gatekeepers as permanent barriers; grant yourself permission to act, overcoming learned helplessness and the habit of waiting for approval.

My Husband Has Always Had Expensive Taste. It's Starting to Become a Big Problem.

My husband and I have totally shared finances. He has expensive taste in clothes, in my opinion. On average, he spends $200 on a pair of pants, $100 on a shirt, $200 on a jacket. I usually buy my clothes either used or on sale from high street stores, and my average is more like $30 for pants, $20 for a shirt, and under $50 for a jacket.
