Staying Sane in Dizzying Times
As the world spirals into a miasma of Uber speed change and accelerated events around us leave us flabbergasted, how do we stay sane when things change by the time one reads this sentence. Indeed, the Pandemic has been the spark that lit the fire of imploding world events. In a manner similar to the humungous number of funeral pyres across the nation, what we are now seeing is a “bonfire of vanities” where hubris is having its comeuppance.

Now, Where Do I Belong?
There's a part of chronic illness that no one ever really talks about. It lingers in the downtime, inbetween pain medicine and days spent managing symptoms. It's not something a doctor will often talk about - they've got bigger problems - or perhaps, may even go overlooked by your well meaning support group, all who utter that they're for you, and whilst you've no doubt that their intentions are pure, not even they can help when it sets in.

Finding the Light
For as long as I can remember I knew something was different about me. My moods were so drastic, and the way I felt things when I had an emotion was extreme. I wasn't just sad; I felt like my life was not the way I had planned it. I wasn't just mad; I felt like a bomb was ready to go off in my head. I wasn't just happy; I felt this wonderful feeling of elation.

Love Analyzed
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. Nietzsche “I sometimes think that love is a dirty word and much dirtier than pussy, for example. All we need is love. I don’t think as much anymore. All we need is the silence of a kind breeze, the shade of a happy tree, the sight of a blue sky, the knowledge that the Sun is still there at night, sending its rays of life and death. Love is already in the fabric of these moments and there’s no need to extract it and give it even more meaning when it simply doesn’t merit it.”
