The Last One Waiting
Left Behind, Watching When the world moves forward and you're still standing on the platform I disappoint them. A shut mouth: what is the point? Trembling lips, and all morning I have disappeared like a turned down flower. I would like them to see the last of me, wherever this goes, however it ends, but I send them away quickly. And if they try coming back, I will send them away again. They do not belong here, nor I with them. Like the slow train cutting diagonal across the road. Where is it going? Into a field to disappear, where it will become grass, then hay. In the distance the cows are specks, and up close they are blobs, and all my figuring cannot stop life from being so. If I were good for them they would stay, and if I were meant for them, I would be capable.

It might be Cyclothymic Disorder.

The Complexities of Co-Dependency
Have you ever met a person who couldn't do the simplest of tasks on their own? That person might even be you. There is always a deeper understanding of things like introverts, extroverts, the ego, etc., within society. The idea that someone doesn't like to be surrounded by noise isn't too uncommon.

Co-dependency.

"The Interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud: A Journey into the Unconscious Mind
"The Interpretation of Dreams" by Sigmund Freud: A Journey into the Unconscious Mind "The Interpretation of Dreams" is not just a book; it is the foundation of modern psychology and a journey into the mysterious world of the unconscious. First published in 1899, this book revolutionized our understanding of dreams. Dreams are no longer seen as random or meaningless images; instead, they are glimpses into our hidden desires, fears, and experiences. Freud's writing is a blend of science, philosophy, and personal discovery. This book explains how dreams are formed, their connection to the unconscious mind, and how they reveal hidden truths through symbols. Although it can be challenging, for those interested in understanding the human mind, it is a feast for the intellect.
