“This chick has BPD.” It only took 15 minutes of watching Amber Heard’s testimony for me to see she had a personality disorder.

Superpowers Content Library Thumbnail

I have a confession to make: I just lied to you. This isn’t actually my 100th article---I passed that milestone a few months ago. This is, however, the first time I’ve had 100 public articles on the site. So I thought I’d take this time to both celebrate and reflect. I never thought I’d make it this far to be honest.

But now over a decade after seeing my first derm, I can confidently say that I don’t … [Read more...]

frustrated writer who wants to be writing more

Every writer wants to write more. Problem is, that desire is no match for self-sabotage. Most writers’ attempts to be more productive often end in embarrassing defeat. And what makes matters worse is that writers themselves are often to blame. But fear not my fellow writer, because today, I’m bringing you hope. No … [Read more...]

This Simple Truth Will Help You Endure Life’s Hardest Times

April 19, 2022 By Drew Shepherd 2 Comments

Things were different five years ago. I barely had a footprint online, I was basically a social outcast, and I learned that the girl who loved me didn’t even exist.  But since then, my work’s been viewed hundreds of thousands of times, countless people have thanked me for my efforts, and I’ve led some of the most unlikely … [Read more...]

Yep, I got it too. Earlier this year, I tested positive for the omicron variant of COVID-19. I’ve long since recovered though, and dare I say it, the world finally has too.

March 14, 2022 By Drew Shepherd Leave a Comment

forget money and fame; true success thumbnail

It’s time to redefine success. I say that not as a jealous writer who’s achieved nothing of his own, but rather, as a survivor who knows the word means something more.

February 12, 2022 By Drew Shepherd Leave a Comment

Picture James Bond without the British ties, the intricate gadgets, and the promiscuous lifestyle. Instead of a license to kill, he has qualifications to teach.
