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!"
I’d Rather Be Accepting Than Afraid
You’ve probably noticed that the only types of people I constantly badmouth are racists and bigots. I speak often and at length about the ignorance of so many Americans. It’s a frustrating topic to focus on. I wish it wasn’t this way still, in 2022.

How To Handle When Your Friend Asks THAT Soul-Destroying Question
Here's the question no friend wants to get asked. "Do you like my partner?" Like, kill me now. I don't want to answer that. Please don't make me answer that. Why are you asking me? Make this whole thing stop.

Three Birds, One Fowl
Three birds congregate in the meadow to woo the likings of one fowl. The first bird, a strong hawk, is so sure of himself. He confidently assumes a stance of magnificence, much like a great marble statue. He is an idol, influential, yet dominating.

Tough Love Can Make You Whole Again: From Denial to Raw Truth in One Session
Tough love is more loving than having your feelings spared while you keep self-sabotaging yourself. People who tell you the truth do it to help you. The ones who spare your feelings do it to help themselves.

The Lost Scrolls of Nestor & Tinka 2022
Getting warmed up The first Sunday morning, one of our favorite age-old traditions is 'the song' with our friends The Dregs at 9:30 AM. Right before the song begins, we are playfully warming up our voices. Nestor sings, "mi mi mi," and it slowly becomes an ego-maniacal, "Me. Me. Me...Me!"

The Song She Sings
She grew up in a world of chaos, a world that didn't care. Each step she took, every deep breath, countless fake smiles she wore on her face. This was her life. Dreams of a world that cared for her, because she gave so much of herself, became farther and farther away. Love poured out of her soul and gave peace to those around her. "A breath of fresh air" is how she was described. If only they knew the pain she wore inside, the tears she kept hidden, and the exhaustion she fought every step she took. At night she'd pray, she'd pray for happiness and for love, she'd pray for comfort and peace. What does one do when they were taught to give to others, to be selfless and kind, to be the person that other people dreamed they could be?
