Humanity begins at home.

Silence Grows
I have not spoken to my father since 2016, at least, not in the conversive sense. Words have passed between us in one sided conversations or quick reiterations that he will have nothing to do with me. Till 2018 I sent many emails and paintings to him, updates on my life, just as I had before I was banished. Of course, as my denial ended so did the emails.

Time shallow edge to have you
Life is alive, and the grass and trees are in autumn. Flickering, flickering, in an instant. You and I are as light as a cloud of smoke, as small as a speck of dust. But it is the countless little you and me who have lit thousands of lights and illuminated the whole world. Life and death, honor and disgrace, rise and fall in this world have never been controlled by people, but we will never lose our time and ourselves, guarding the grass and trees, guarding the clouds and water, and interpreting the legends from generation to generation.

Our dog was about to die. I can’t say I ever loved our dog too much but that was because I was an only child, and it was only me in my world and it was the same for him and so all we did was fight like brothers do, I guess.

4 Types of Gaslighting in a Family
You’re so dramatic. That never even happened. You’re overly emotional. If you have heard people say things like "you have a vivid imagination," or "you're just blowing this out of proportion," then they are trying to gaslight you. These phrases are hinting that everything you think is wrong and they do not believe the amazing thing happened to you because the person issuing the statements doesn't see it as something incredible.

Sadness of the starry sky

She was young, beautiful, talented, famous at school, and had no shortage of suitors, but he was an ordinary man who had been admiring her for a long time, and she did not know it. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee. She was surprised, however, out of politeness, she said yes. Sitting in the cafe, the atmosphere between the two people is very awkward, there is nothing to talk about. Just as she was about to make an excuse to leave, when the young lady brought them their coffee, he suddenly said, "Would you please bring me some salt? I'm accustomed to putting salt in my coffee." She froze, the young lady froze, and all eyes were fixed on him, so that his face turned red.
