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!"

Why Remote Work is a blessing
Remote work was extremely rare prior to the 2020 Covid-19 crisis. It was only available to consultants or people with sufficient experience to be accepted as remote workers. In 2022, it may be the most sought-after perk when it comes to choosing a job, alongside salary and work culture. There are several reasons for this, which I will discuss in this article. After reading this, you will understand why working remotely benefits employees, employers, and society as a whole.

Suicide Reflection
There you were. Your beautiful face, the magnificent wonderful face, staring at me in the bathroom mirror. You couldn't see me but I was there and I could see you. I could see the pain in your eyes and the sorrow in your tears. I could feel every heartbeat that dared to beat. You fooled everybody. All the smiles and laughter. No one knew all that you held inside. No one ever seemed to understand or get the real you. You felt that it didn't matter. You knew no one would see past all your layers. You always looked for ways to numb all the feelings that consumed you but nothing was ever enough and then you just finally told yourself that you had enough. There was unbearable loneliness that I could feel that surrounded you. This underlined yearning for something that you knew would never be able to be obtained. I pounded on the mirror and screamed as loud as I could as I realized what you were doing. I pleaded and begged for you to stop. For you to look at me. For you to remember all those who loved you and were here and wouldn't understand. I screamed until my voice echoed into silence. We promised each other a long time ago we would never take our lives for granted. That we would live them to the fullest. But I could feel you and a pain that was crushing your soul. I could feel you. And it was killing me. There was nothing I could do because when you decided to take your life was the night the shadows that were in mine ceased to exist. And I was too late. I told those around me about the presence I was feeling of the fear of the unknown. How it was crushing me. But it was you. You were sending me these signs that just to me were so incomplete. Every time I have lost someone close to my heart the shadows come and I knew something wasn't right. I just couldn't see what was right there in the mirror of my nightmares. It was you this whole time. Crying out for help. You were one of the only ones who knew of the shadows and how they haunted me. How something had a hold of you. As far apart as we were I still felt you. I loved you. We were soulmates. This was one of the things that I learned is that soulmates don't have to be lovers. Soulmates can come from different walks of life or different lives altogether. They form a bond far beyond a deep connection that is tested but will never divide. You would always find me and I would always find you. And now you are gone. I am incomplete without you. There will be a part of me that will search the ends of the earth for you. Until I cross the veil to finally find you. And I hope that you knew that in those last moments that you were not alone. I was there, while you cried all those tears. I was there while you screamed at yourself that was there in the mirror. For I was in the bathroom mirror as you took your last breath. Standing next to the reflection of you. I believe that is when you finally saw me. Because that is when I woke up. And you were gone. Your beautiful soul disappeared and darkness fell over my heart. You were gone. The presence that loomed over me for days was gone. The shadows that I was seeing in the corners of the rooms during the day and the night, were gone. You no longer remained in the realm of the living. You left but I felt that you finally felt free.

6 Tips for Building the Best Relationships
Relationships are like a garden. If you tend to them consistently and regularly, they will thrive. But if you ignore them and let weeds grow, they will wither away. A healthy relationship is an essential part of a happy life – not just in terms of dating or romance, but also friendships, family connections, and any other social connections you have. A strong relationship is the foundation for any personal or professional success – and vice versa. The better your relationships are with others, the more opportunities you’ll have to grow professionally and personally. 1. Be fully present when you’re with others. In any relationship, it’s crucial to be fully present. This means being fully alert, listening carefully to others, and not letting your mind wander. When you’re with others, give them your full, undivided attention. This is how you show that you care about them. This goes for friends, family, colleagues, and anyone else in your life. When you’re fully present with people, you create stronger connections and build better relationships. You also give people an experience they’ll appreciate and remember. If you’re talking with someone, stay focused on the conversation and don’t let your mind wander. If you’re at a social event, don’t let your eyes linger too long on your phone screen. Don’t let your attention wander when you’re with others. In other words, be present. This is the best way to show that you care. 2. Show people you care. Showing others that you care is a crucial part of any relationship. This means more than just saying you care – you actually have to show it. What does this mean? It means that you do things for others. This can include things like helping them with something, providing emotional support, or being generous with your time. When you show others that you care, you build stronger relationships. You also show them that you value them and their time. This also creates better connections and stronger relationships. 3. Don’t hold grudges, and forgive others. Holding grudges damages your relationships and leaves you stuck in the past. Forgiveness is the key to letting go of grudges and moving forward with your relationships. How do you forgive others? The best way is to actually write down the person you need to forgive. Then, write down what you need to forgive them for. You may be wondering why we recommend you write it down. The reason is simple: When you write it down, you’ll be forced to confront the issue and think about it. This is a crucial step in the forgiveness process. When you confront the issue and think about what you need to forgive them for, it makes it real. This makes it easier to let go of your grudge because you’re not trying to forget it – you’re actively trying to confront it. 4. Ask questions and show interest in the people around you. People love to feel appreciated, important, and heard. One of the best ways to do this is by showing interest in the people around you. When you’re talking to someone, don’t just focus on yourself. Instead, ask them questions and actively listen to their answers. When you’re with others, don’t just wait for them to show interest in you. Instead, show interest in them. This will help you build stronger relationships with people. 5. Don’t be lazy — do the legwork to understand your relationship dynamic. In any relationship, there are two types of connections: the connection you create, and the connection that’s already there. The first one is under your control, and the second is not. However, the connection that’s already there is often overlooked. This can lead to misunderstandings or hurt feelings. One way to avoid this is to do some “relationship legwork.” This is when you actively think about your relationships and how they work. When you’re in a romantic relationship, family relationship, or any other social connection, ask yourself these questions: How long have we been together? What do we do together? Who else is in this relationship? What do you do together, and how long have you been doing it? What is the dynamic like between you and the rest of the people in this relationship? 6. Stay flexible — Relationships require give-and-take, so be ready to adapt. In any relationship, there will be give-and-take. If you only take, you’ll burn out the relationship and eventually lose the connection altogether. If you only give, you’ll eventually resent the person for taking advantage of you. In any relationship, be ready to give and take. This means that you need to be flexible. You and the other person(s) in the relationship will need to adjust accordingly to keep the connection healthy and strong. You may need to adjust how much time you spend with others. You may need to adjust how often you talk or how you communicate. You may even need to adjust how you interact with one another. Bottom line A healthy relationship is an essential part of a happy life – not just in terms of dating or romance, but also friendships, family connections, and any other social connections you have. A strong relationship is the foundation for any personal or professional success – and vice versa. The better your relationships are with others, the more opportunities you’ll have to grow professionally and personally. Build the best relationships you can, and you’ll have a happier, more successful life as a result. In other words, relationships are like gardens. If you tend to them consistently and regularly, they will thrive. But if you ignore them and let weeds grow, they will wither away.

I FEEL LIKE FLORIDA.
I’m sure that’s a level of insensitive many won’t appreciate, but I think I can confidently say I’d prefer watching my house demolished to it’s foundation and float away opposed to the last 2 months. Whatever the highest category of hurricane exists blew in, sweeping away and devastating something irreplaceable - uprooting the foundation on which I’ve stood for 20 years.

Learning to Let Go
When I was younger I was a ball of fire, always ready to get into the argument and state my opinion, even if it wasn't popular. In my relationships, I would get upset and state my mind, in detail, and one time I got so mad at my husband I slammed the cupboard door until it banged closed, open, and closed again. I was angry and everybody knew it.

Center on Integrity to Attain Life Fulfillment
As a child, one of my favorite quiet games was "dot-to-dot." The cells in my body buzzed whenever I played this game. It was as though discovering the larger picture hidden within seemingly random elements was expressing some sort of inborn wiring for integrative thinking.
