Jason ProvencioPublished 16 days ago in HumansThe First Dance
I do not dance unless forced to. Before I reached University, dancing was relegated to films and TV series, watching the Carlton shuffle or Tom Cruise effortlessly perform a classic dance to impress a woman. I was a voyeur when it came to the art and was very happy about that. Then came University and most recently, my wedding.

The Miracle of Toast
In my gratitude practice, here's what I've noticed Maybe "practice" is too lofty a term. I don't claim any specialness when it comes to spiritual mojo or mental hygiene. But as I've gotten older, I've developed a nightly habit: before I turn off my bedside lamp, I write down five things I'm grateful for.
Jan M FlynnPublished 22 days ago in HumansHomewrecker
“No, she isn’t my daughter,” he corrects a colleague. “She’s my wife.” On cue, I beam at my husband, innocent and doe-eyed—like I did in my 20’s when he was in his 40’s. His friend invariably elbows him, making comments about cradle robbing and spring chickens. We laugh. I say something clever in reply. His companion looks surprised.

All eyes hide such deep pain. We all cry in a dark room behind walls. With our face heavy onto a soft pillow that buries the sound of our cries, deeply in that dark room. We all hide something that kills us.

Your Online Dating profile how to present yourself online
FacebookTwitterShare Your Online Dating profile how to present yourself online For many people, the hardest part of starting to date online is figuring out what to put in their profile. All dating sites offer their members a profile page, where each member can write about his or herself, upload a photo (or several) etc. What you write about yourself in the profile is extremely important: second only to the picture in terms of making other members aware of who you are and making them want to contact you.

THAT'S TOO RISKY FOR ME...
THAT'S TOO RISKY FOR ME... Have you ever held back from doing something because it was too risky? We probably all have at one time or another. Taking a chance usually means there is something to lose, and people shy away from losing. Let’s face it, no one wants to lose. Still, taking chances is an integral part of life, and if we want our lives to improve, we have to become more aware of what we are willing and not willing to risk.

DIFFERENT PERCEPTIONS ARE A NECESSARY PART OF LIFE
I need to talk to you about something. One of my friends recently interrupted a conversation with those powerful words. As she continued to speak, I felt the moment change into a long instant of mixed emotions. A feeling of dread and a feeling of excitement…different perceptions at the same time. I sensed there was something I had done. Something she didn’t like or something that had hurt her. Something that would be hard to hear. I wanted to hear what she said and didn’t want to hear it, at the same time.

eighteen.
Society. That word is so effortlessly thrown around in everyday life. When something goes wrong, we are quick to blame society. It is ironic because... we are society. Why is it that we are so flawed to the point where we cannot look at ourselves in the mirror and reflect on our own imperfections? Why is it that when someone falls, we are so quick to point fingers at them and laugh, rather than pointing fingers at ourselves and questioning why we thought that was funny? Is it because we are so ashamed of ourselves that putting the spotlight on someone else will somehow diffuse the sins we have committed? Or is it simply the art of recognition that we are so desperate to avoid?
