friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Welcome to my mind- Is there hope ... or am I being too hopeful?
Welcome to my mind : Is There Hope or… Am I Being too Hopeful…? Also December 1 2022. My mind has been at a constant race, but its also been having more calm days. This has been the roughest heartbreak. But this heartbreak, has made me learn so much. And what I have to change in myself, to be better for myself and not to keep sabotaging myself, and hopefully I’ll be better for you too, once I’m happy again and see the change. I’ve held onto so many things from the past and its blinded me in so many ways and blinded me from a love, lost a love that I’ve always wanted, and I’m hoping to regain that love one day. I’ve been learning to be a better communicator, which is one of my biggest issues. And I need to be able to communicate no matter how hard it may be. I cant keep pulling away, because I thought it was the best thing to do and to solve the situation at hand, but pulling away isn’t always the answer. I’m not used to communicating because I haven’t really done it before. For me, once I start to trust you I begin to open up to you slowly, guess I’m like a cat in that aspect. And the crazy thing is I was beginning to trust but I was broken at the same time and I felt like, it wasn’t enough, its just that I needed time and if that time was given then maybe. I was already low, when I was made to feel lower, especially by the person that I so deeply love, and that’s when I became a shell and withdrawing just taking pieces away. Feeling shattered especially by your words and my own circling in my head, I just felt that you really felt that way for me and I crumbled. Although I felt like this for the longest, since that moment somehow, some way I still deeply loved, and still do love you. I try to forget you but I can’t, I cry about us all the time, I wished many times I could show you that I still want this, us to work and I still miss you and I hope you feel the same way too. While I was mentally and emotionally battling myself while simultaneously projecting onto you all my hurt and pain, and the expectation of something bad happening, it took over and I didn’t completely see you, when you were going through your pain because I was so consumed with mine, and I was pulling away, I was also causing harm to you – with no intention to, a part of me didn’t want to make you sad by talking about it, but I could’ve been there in other ways and I wasn’t and im sorry. Just like I needed you to be there for me during my lowest, you needed me now and I wasn’t there, because I was too busy in my head. And I’m so sorry. I know this is why I have to be more vocal not just for my own sake but for you too, be more present and I wish I was because, I as hurting you and your someone that I didn’t want to hurt. This pain is so hard to focus on, one day I’m fine, the next I’m sad or bleh. I know while going through this heartbreak, I’m also healing, and healing the inner child in me. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this hard, I’m usually over things quickly, but you, I cant get over quickly. This was way to real, way to genuine and passionate of a love to just let go, and that’s why I’m fighting. I know we are both hurt, and going through this journey, I hope it really does lead us back together, I really do. I’ve felt so many things since we’ve last broken up and I wanted you back, but I couldn’t not until I was healed and you as well, because I didn’t want to end up in this pain or confusion because with you I want so many things to be right I know things aren’t perfect, I even have tattoo on me in order to remind me, and I think of us, it reminds me love isn’t prefect. I just know, that we do go well together and we just gotta work on this kink, this double knot, because there were so many good times, but we had very bad times all because of not communicating and understanding. I saw you a few days ago, and you have no idea how happy I was to see you but so nervous, because I was going to let you in, let you in emotionally, let you know I’m still in love with you, that I still want to be with you, that I never stopped wanting those things, let you know what’s wrong with me and why its so hard, but I’ve been noticing a change since we broke up, I’ve been communicating better, just the person I really had to communicate with was you, so you know how I really felt. Although I know you didn’t want to see me, you did anyway and I’m so grateful for that. And I hope you see and hear the love I still have because, I want to fight for us because I want to give you the love, you think you wont have anymore, because I do know I have the kinda love you want to have and keep in your life, if your willing to give us that chance. I know I shouldn’t have my hopes high but I do have hope, a hope for a love that will always bring me to a smile. And something for certain, that I’ve learned recently, not just from being apart from each other, but our talk helped more than I thought it would and I’m glad we were able to speak freely to one another, which could be a sign of something good to come, we really do have to talk more and understand each other, then its in the bag babe, we’d be on top and finally ourselves… Is there still hope… or am I being too hopeful?

Sewing
They met in kindergarten. Seph and Rhea were quite the pair. They were inseparable as they were different but exactly the same. The boy, Seph, was trouble prone so Rhea often spent her time lecturing and caring for him which always seemed to include sewing up his clothes.

'Humanity' of the 'Humans'
8 Humanity is at its best when it can be fully applied to the right place. Otherwise, the real meaning of the word humanity is not revealed. Just as humanity does not exist in the heart of all, so it is not right to manifest humanity in all cases. The creation of humanity from man is again the destruction of that humanity by man. In a state of restraint, a person finds the weakest side of another person and grabs the opportunity of time and hits the extreme. At that time, even though there were hundreds of forces on human beings, both human and humanity took a violent form. In the current society, in most cases, thousands of anti-moral activities are carried out for the sake of humanity. The word that is deeply intertwined with the word humanity is selfless. Because when a person works for the welfare of the people, it is completely out of selfishness. But now it would be a bit foolish to say that people work outside of selfishness. Although there is no direct self-interest in it, there are various kinds of self-interest indirectly.

N.T.'s vs N.D.'s
Have you ever met someone odd in a way you couldn't place what was odd but knew something was there? Have you ever met someone who was called, "a walking encyclopedia"? Have you ever been the one who picked on this person for knowing things you did not? Have you ever wondered what made them different? Do these questions bring a specific someone to mind? As this was me growing up, I do not want this to be my sons fate, which is why I am writing this. I know in todays "Age of Information" and the World Wide Web, many questions can be answered in the blink of an eye just by saying, "Hey Google" or "Hey Siri..." But not always these questions, nor several others, I mean you can add in the oddities to a search and I'm sure it would pull up something on some site or other.

Welcome to my mind...Heartbroken & Healing
Welcome to my mind… December 1 . 2022 I’ve realized through this process that, I do have to do it alone, at least at this present moment. But sometimes, it is hard doing it alone. Going through a heartbreak and a healing journey all at once, having so many conflicting emotions. I have ups and downs and days where I feel like I’m in neutral. Sometimes I do wish that the few people I do know would reach out on their own, without me having to bring it up myself. It’ll be nice to be asked “how are you doing?” I know that most of the time I put on a front, and a face that works all to well, but sometimes I cant keep it up, sometimes it crumbles. And I’ve been crumbling while picking up the pieces again and putting them back in the right spots. I know this is just for me alone to go through to be comfortable with just myself and my own happiness, cure me of self-doubt and self-sabotage, and my fear of success and so much more, especially in relationships, especially as of recently. I know you have to learn yourself and love yourself to really be happy. Maybe that’s what happens when your in relationships so often your so busy learning someone else you just forget about yourself, because relationships have just become your identity. And I’ve lost myself but I see that I am finding myself, and I do feel a little different. Its just hard because sometimes, you want a little check-in, sometimes you jus want to know you matter especially when you feel alone, despite a front you may put on. Because, this is hard it isn’t easy. And I know I’m healing and hurting, its such a complex thing. But somehow I know something beautiful will come of it.

Tonight's the Night
Prologue This creative work is a parable based on a wild dream and only that. The violence depicted is not to condone or encourage violence but to allegorize the depths of anger that boils within the mind and heart of one who has suffered the devastating loss of a loved one.

What is love?
Honestly I kind of think asking what love is, is a really loaded question. It’s an unquantifiable emotion felt everywhere, everyday. Someone once told me that where there is life, there is love. I think the best place to start is by acknowledging that love is so much more than just romance. Love is found through our family, friends, pets, and even through our passions. We have all experienced at least one kind of love in our lives. To think otherwise is naive. Through loving we are able to find happiness, bliss, and a sense of purpose.

Motivation and Achieving Goals; But What's The Cost?
When considering motivation, is efficacy the best metric to use to judge/compare them? Can there be effective and powerful motivators that are dangerous, destructive, or chaotic? And how do emotions help (or hinder?) us in attaining a better understanding of this conundrum?
