friendship

C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"

BABY BOY.
I am here just like you are. Let that be the fundamental law of what we will build. It is refreshing to be graced with an uncontaminated mind. We can delve into how we came to be but that will unravel itself as time passes. I have no idea how our story ends and the chapter where I meet my end will lead you to pick up the pen. What moves me will now inhabit you. I spend my time doing different things and each moment we are gifted together; my presence will be the display of a select few. Simply because I and the breadth of my knowledge is too vast to be conceived in one breath. So, I will offer you wisdom when I can. Wisdom that comes from digging deep. I ethically mine slutty caves for precious jewels, analytically implement them, and avoid the mind fields. When it is your turn to dig deep this will be your guide and sometimes serve as a reminder to keep moving.

Dancing for the Dying
I dressed up for the dying. That's right, while they were trying to navigate through the last stages of life, I concentrated on bringing some kind of light to them. And I'm happy to say that I did deliver a light - it was in my clothes. I had a wardrobe so lovely yet under-appreciated but seeing how they all just perked up, smiling and praising my outfits - well, it gave a whole new meaning to ‘dressing for the occasion.’ For that light which I saw in their eyes, that understanding of beauty, well I knew that far beyond science claiming their aging minds were misfiring, their spirits were, however, indeed solid.

I dream of Jeanne
It's always hard when we lose someone, but this one almost crushed me. I hadn’t seen or spoken to her in 10 years - but honestly nothing went sour, we all just get so busy and drift apart …but dear God, there was a time when we were like soul sisters. Looking back, I see humongous, dark sunglasses, raven hair either in a thick, straight bob or a poufy, 1960's/Amy Winehouse bun, bold, deep red lips, a perfectly tailored cheetah-print coat with a wide collar, black tights, short skirt, red kitten heels or some smashing rock-and -roll leather boots, some kind of wild, fabulous designer handbag and of course, a cigarette always ready to go.

Our Many Faces
There is a touching scene in one of my favorite movies, ‘Good Will Hunting’, which focuses on Sean (played by Robin Williams), a former prodigious mathematician turned psychologist, who is mentoring Will Hunting (played by Matt Damon) but also providing guidance to a young man going through a tough time. Will is gifted but also has suffered physical abuse and mental trauma having lived with different foster families who did not treat him well. Sean notices Will not really sharing who he is fully and that is not just the case with Sean at first in their sessions but also with Will’s new girlfriend, Skylar.

Continued from week 5 September 24/25, 2022 Fall This is the first weekend it's been a little cool out. I get to wear my cloak and gloves out of comfort and not necessity. There's a level of pacing and rhythm that is found by sixth weekend. Our team has found its comfort in each other. We are a harmonized group. Are things perfect? No. They never will be, and that's okay.

Bennie and Me
Today was the day. Everything up to this point had been just planning, packing, daydreaming, and more packing. Now finally, the day has arrived. We loaded up cars and a large moving truck. We push and stuff my belongings making sure everything was neatly puzzled in. I give one last oversight to make sure all was secure. Inside held a whole lifetime of memories, mementos, knick-knacks, and necessities, It needed to be perfect.

Your Personal Relationships:
In social penetration theory, relationships move through a scale of layers determining where you stand and how intimately you may know a person. We can call these layers the Onion Model. We call it this, because like an onion, whenever you pull back a layer, there is another one waiting to be explored. As people, we all have layers that make up our identities.

I'm Insecure About My Writing. Top Story - September 2022.
I don't fear people as much as I fear being known. Being seen from all sides including my insides. Being utterly exposed. And viewed, in my unedited essence.

Social hangover: what it is, how it affects us, and possible causes
No one is capable of living without contact with others, the human being is a social animal by nature. However, some people are more outgoing than others, and others are more comfortable focusing on their inner thoughts and ideas, rather than what's going on outside. But absolutely we all need to interact with others, although some contacts can wear us down if we get too involved.
