It is so obvious that they don’t - and it is so obvious that if they do intervene it will not be with the aim to engage in democracy. Now you can think the Iranian people will effectively resist those antidemocratic tendencies of the American empire but that is not the discussion being had.

1/13 Edited to

... Read moreFrom my personal observations and experiences following international politics, it becomes clear that the United States' approach toward Iran has been deeply complex and often conflicting. The phrase "Everything America Has Done Shows They Are Terrified of Democracy In Iran" strongly resonates when considering the historical interventions and diplomatic strategies employed. In multiple instances, US foreign policy has seemed less focused on supporting authentic popular democratic movements in Iran and more on advancing strategic interests. This has led to skepticism about the true intentions behind American involvement. For example, economic sanctions and political pressures have often aimed to destabilize specific regimes or control Iran’s influence rather than empower its citizens in a democratic process. Living through these developments, I've perceived a pattern where actions labeled as promoting 'democracy' may actually serve to extend geopolitical power rather than establish fair governance. This creates a paradox for the Iranian people, who want genuine democratic participation but face interference that undercuts these efforts. Furthermore, grassroots movements within Iran exhibit remarkable resilience despite these challenges. Many Iranians continue to push for political freedoms and reforms, often at great personal risk. Their determination highlights a crucial distinction between foreign intervention motives and the will of the people. Sharing these reflections aims to deepen understanding about why American intervention in Iran is widely viewed as contradictory to democratic advancement. It also encourages readers to consider the nuances of international relations and the real impact on citizens striving for democracy in complex political landscapes.

A person holds open the book 'The Courage to Be Disliked' with text overlays asking 'PEOPLE-PLEASING SUCKS?' and stating 'READ THE GOD OF SELF-HELP BOOK' over the pages, on a desk with other books.
The book 'The Courage to Be Disliked' rests on a bed next to a lamp. Text overlays describe it as a 'straight-up, no-nonsense look at happiness' that is different from typical self-help books.
The cover of 'The Courage to Be Disliked' is shown with text overlays highlighting key takeaways: 'Happiness is a choice,' 'Ditch the "up and down" relationships,' and 'You gotta love yourself first.'
The God of Self-Help
People-pleasing sucks. This book might kick your butt (in a good way) Okay, let's be real. Self-help books can feel cheesy and preachy, right? But this book, or should I say the god of self-help book, is different. It's a straight-up, no-nonsense look at happiness that left me shook.

💛 Self-Abuse Isn’t Always Obvious 💛
When we hear the word “abuse,” we often think of what others do to us, but sometimes the person hurting us… is us. Self-abuse hides behind overworking, perfectionism, isolation, and negative self-talk. It shows up when we replay past mistakes, stay in unhealthy relationships, or ignore our need

Fruity fragrances… but not the obvious ones 🍑✨
Florals for spring? Optional. Sometimes, it’s just a matter of range. If you’re reaching for something different, fruity notes can be just as elevated — when done right. Not overly sweet. Not basic. Just depth, texture, and a little contrast. ✨ Peach – Goldfield & Banks Sunset Hour

Mental health talk: big misconception
People think if you’re not visibly struggling, then everything’s fine, but it’s so much deeper than that. The biggest misconception about mental health, in my opinion, is that it’s something you can just “get over” or "snap out of." Mental health isn’t just about being happy or sad.
