How Shiny Objects Can Lead to Disaster: Three Ways Glimmer Captivated Me
Glimmer in limerence is the initial attraction phase. The limerent object sparkles. Because they have somehow sparked this glow of neurochemicals and arousal and desire in the limerent person. It’s like infatuation magnified by infinity.

'ARTS NOT FARTS". Content Warning.
This story was written to create a scenario of life that is not perfect, but my glass is half full. This story is written as a reflection of how gaslighting folks is not cool. I did not write it out of anger or fear or hate, I wrote it out of love for humanity. I author stories, create songs to hopefully help someone along the way. I worked in nursing off and on in my life from 1969 to 2000. At the same time, I was taking care of people, I was attending college in Business, Journalism, and art.

Understanding Others Is Impossible Without Understanding Yourself
Understanding Others Is Impossible Without Understanding Yourself In the hustle and bustle of daily life, we interact with countless individuals, sharing ideas, expressing emotions, and exchanging thoughts. But have you ever paused to consider the key to truly understanding others—their struggles, joys, and situations? The answer lies within ourselves: the ability to understand others stems from first understanding oneself. We often fail to grasp our inner thoughts, emotions, and circumstances, making it incredibly challenging to empathise with others.

Being understood or Being accepted
On the back of so many conflicts and misunderstandings with my peers, I always felt like the issue was miscommunication. I thought to myself that maybe I am not expressing myself in the right way, maybe my communication isn’t the best and so this person isn’t able to understand me. I tried my best to communicate my ideas with much more clarity every time, whether they were political views or my opinions on how I think things should be done in a project. Unfortunately, every attempt led to just more debate, and inevitably an argument ensued. With time I have come to understand that it isn’t a problem of miscommunication, the other person understands me and what I am saying but they prefer to be at odds with me.

Love Yourself: The Greatest Task of Your Life
Love Yourself: The Greatest Task of Your Life Your life is a beautiful story where you are the protagonist. However, in the hustle of fulfilling responsibilities and meeting the expectations of others, we often lose sight of ourselves. In this endless race, our feelings, joys, and needs take a backseat. Do you ever pause and ask yourself, “Am I truly happy?” For most of us, this question doesn’t find its way into our busy lives, let alone its answer. This realisation reveals a harsh truth — we’ve forgotten who we truly are.

The Sacrifice of Blood and Love
The Price of Redemption The scent of iron clung to the air, mingling with the faint aroma of damp earth. The full moon bathed the ancient stone altar in an eerie glow, casting long shadows that danced like restless spirits in the flickering torchlight. Lila stood at the edge of the clearing, her heart pounding as the cloaked figures chanted in a language older than memory. She wasn’t supposed to be here. This was not her world. Yet, here she was, tethered by a love she could not abandon.

Accepting Your Mistakes
Accepting Your Mistakes Mistakes are an inseparable part of life. Every individual makes mistakes, as they often mark the beginning of a learning journey. However, how many of us have the courage to admit them? Often, we try to hide our errors or blame others instead of accepting them. This approach, however, only deceives ourselves. The true mark of humanity lies in acknowledging one's mistakes, which is also the foundation of genuine wisdom.

Is Self Compassion a Scam? An Honest Review
Shame has been a constant companion in my life. My height of shame was in September 2022. Two months after my affair was uncovered followed by the discovery that I continued contact after promising I would discontinue contact. I made a series of continuous bad choices that I had to take responsibility for or lose my marriage. Somehow, I didn’t lose everything, despite doing everything wrong as I confessed the truth. Lies followed by deflection and minimizing.

New Year's Resolutions ( Again ... I Know)
Alright, folks, it's that time of year again. The year is drawing to a close, the festive lights are twinkling (or maybe they're already packed away), the Christmas star still hangs brightly in the front yard, a hopeful beacon against the lingering scent of… unmet expectations.

Through The Bareness Of 2024- My Journey
Life in its brevity often feels burdensome, yearning for us to be free of all the turbulence that stirs up its breaths in our hearts. How beautiful would life be if we let go of pain, anger, sadness, grim! I wish we had built-in programming that would delete all the moments and experiences that stirred catastrophic fires and raged war and kindled and whooshed the fire within us simultaneously!
