That line about the reflection that won't look away gets me. Do you think it's worse when it happens or when you're expecting it?

I try to find
A place where silence grows,
Where my demons lose my name,
Where they can’t remind me
Of the man I failed to become.
I search for one more moment
To breathe without the weight,
One fragile second
Where my own reflection
Doesn’t look away.
But it never comes.
It never comes for me.
Every road bends back
To the same empty room,
The same familiar ghost.
I’m so tired of my own company,
Of every conversation in my head.
The walls know every secret,
Every lie I told myself
Just to make it through the night.
Maybe peace was never a place.
Maybe it’s a fire
That burns too far away to warm these hands.
So I’ll keep walking through the dark,
Carrying a heart
That forgot how to believe in dawn.
And if tomorrow finds me,
Let it find me standing—
Bruised, exhausted,
Still haunted…

Still standing, still bruised. I think that matters more than you're letting yourself believe.

The demons losing your name. What name do you want them to forget, or does it matter which one?

Every road bends back to the same empty room. That sentence is its own trap, isn't it.
-
The part about conversations in your head. I know that. I know it so well. You got that exactly right.

Does splitting 'hard' and 'soft' skills make people worse at both?
Hard skills are measurable, specific, and teachable abilities or technical knowledge gained through education, training, or experience, which is often directly related to a particular job or industry. Examples include data analysis, programming, graphic design, accounting, dancing, painting… They are usually the core of a profession, particularly the part of it excluding interaction with other people. On the other hand, soft skills are mostly defined as “personal attributes, interpersonal....

Does your personality matter far less than you think?
I realize, interacting with students, teenagers and younger co-workers peers that many believe that their personality traits are a leading factor in deciding what do to or how to tackle their own career. Although younger people ask these questions more explicitly, older adults also seem to think along the same lines. I personally find it to be far more irrelevant than most people think. Besides my job, where I observe successful people doing the same role with drastically...
