The Cynic's Guide to 'True Love'
It usually starts with a Disney movie. You are the doe-eyed child staring longingly at the cartoon screen as the prince and princess finally kiss before they go on to live happily ever after.

Moments Series
The moment I saw the change in her eyes was probably the scariest two seconds of my life. I thought we were having fun while we were being playful until her eyes got round and her pupils dilated. She was out of her seat so fast that the chair crashed to the ground. The next five minutes passed in a complete blur. After I calmed her down, as well as I could, I paid the bill and ushered her out the door.

Empathizing With The Enemy
The beginning of my shadow work journey started with a heavy hitter. The first challenge was to write a message to the person who hurt you the most and explain why you said what you said. I actually had a harder time than I expected on that part alone. Until I reached the second challenge, create a visual of how I see myself (which I did on my phone). After some thorough self evaluation around my own self image, as well as concluding who’d honestly hurt me the most and the reason why what they’d done hurt me to the extent that it did, I was able to come to this ultimate conclusion: We should all take the effort to empathize with our enemies before internalizing what made them an enemy, so then us as people can can have an easier time dealing with our own faults and forgiving ourselves for past mistakes. I was personally able to see comparison in areas where I felt I lack and how that affected my interactions, next to the actions of my said “enemies”. I could see where the behavior possibly rooted from. However I’m no psychologist, merely an observer and an analyst

Gemini is the master of dualities. If you were born under this sign (May 21 to June 20) then the set of twins is your astrological emblem, and Mercury is your governing planet. You are curious, resourceful, and possess excellent reasoning and communication skills. That being said, all of that communicating can get rather tiring.

Speak to me
As I walk through the fabric store, holding a single remnant of fabric, I whisper to it, “Speak to me. Tell me what you want to become.” Crazy as this may sound, the fabric never lets me down. I’ve come to realize that, in the beginning, my obsession with fabric was born out of necessity but has since grown into a life-long love affair. But let me start at the beginning.
