Yesterday, I watched a documentary about Van Gogh, and it struck me how tragic it is for someone as talented and sensitive as him to have felt like a failure. It made me think about perfectionism, self-deprecation, and how our minds can trap us in pain. Back then, they believed some things couldn’t change—that the brain was fixed. But now we know better: our brains are plastic. Neural pathways can be rewired, healing and growth are always possible. I hope we remember that no matter how dark things seem, change is within our reach—and we are more capable than we often realize
