humanity
For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Are we loving or containing?
What is it about beauty that makes us want to contain it for ourselves? When an amazing love crashes into us and catches us off guard, is it not human nature to want it around us as much as possible? We are at a point in society that we associate quantity with quality. More is better. Always. What could be better than a bag of delicious M&M's?

Manhood Before 30
Have you ever seen those annoying drivers who can't make up their mind on which lane they’re in? Those drivers who drive slow and take forever just to simply change up a gear when they come into the fast lane? They do 40 when they know full well it's a 50mph zone! "What on Earth are they playing at?” They are so incompetent on the road that their passenger always has to give them clear instructions on which way to turn. They're such "special" drivers that they need to have a special cone on the top of their car with the big red "L". You know who I'm talking about... Learners!

The Why's of Lies
Whoever made up the nursery rhyme "Sticks and stones will break your bones, but words will never hurt you", was a liar. Maybe not a liar per se, words can only hurt you if you let them, but when someone lies about you it can feel hurtful for even the strongest people and sometimes it can actually be damaging to your reputation or career.

Gaslighting: What it Is.
Gaslighting is rewriting reality to suit the needs of the person doing the gaslighting, because gaslighting is one pretty, nasty, little lie, and I have been gaslit by my family since I was born. One book I have called The Gaslight Effect, is incredibly useful to me since I put it on my iPhone, since one exercise recommended is about living 24 hours with only your own opinion in your head, and it is lovely that the book refers to gaslighting as the gaslighting tango since it takes two to tango with that. The term "gaslight," comes from an old movie from the 1940s, called Gaslight, which came out in 1944 and is about a woman whose crooked husband wants to steal her jewelry while he changes the lights around in order to make her feel crazy, when she isn't. The husband then isolates the wife from the outside world. Gaslighting is about making someone think something. It is about lying to them while coming up with your own version of what happened.

KNOWING WHO YOU’RE DEALING WITH Pt2
Perhaps you were taught to give and receive feedback or to just simply respond or the painful judgement, ridicule or consequences you may have endured, from doing something considered to be wrong, without knowing any better, are all the experiences which were already planted into your minds, that came from your home life. From these environmental influences, they’ve created the beliefs, the thought habits and the lifestyle habit behavior that your person is currently exhibiting in their daily life.
