Family unites us; but it's also a challenge. All about fighting to stay together, and loving every moment of it.

The Forever War
Ah, the intricate dance of love between men and women, a journey often described as both the sweetest melody and the most challenging maze. In the grand tapestry of relationships, the eternal question persists: Why do men and women, despite their deep love and need for each other, often find themselves in the throes of what seems like a never-ending battle?

The infinite circle of making the same mistakes
In the same way that we pass down our knowledge and wisdom to new generations, we can also easily pass down mistakes and bad habits, some of which are long-lasting and difficult to break. One of the habits I notice in society today is insulting. How come insults have been a form of expression for so long? When you think about it, there isn’t really much value we get out of it if not for spontaneous gratification. Flipping someone off, injuring their beauty or weight, etc.—these are all habits that don’t produce anything of value, yet they have been passed down for generations.

Plastic Bowls and Other Proclivities
I’m learning how to slow down. We may as well add that to the list of things I am learning about myself. Coincidentally, learning how to slow down, and actually putting it into practice, is how I am also learning new things about myself. Some of these things you would think I would know by now, given that I am 43 years old. (This may turn into a series, TBD.) But, it is strange how little we know about ourselves, quite honestly. Part of being human is learning how to interact with other humans, and for most of us, that is how a good chunk of our waking life is spent: learning how to interact with other humans. We learn social norms, verbal and non-verbal cues that tell us how to act; we learn what we should say and do around other people, and we learn how to have a conversation and how to connect with others, even if it is just at the cash register of your corner coffee shop. What this means, however, is that we spend most of our lives, honestly, learning about how to exist, learning about other people, learning new skills, etc., but really zero time learning about ourselves. Which is why, at 42 years old, I learned that I don’t like using ceramic bowls and plates.
