Key Ingredients for Lasting Love
In relationships, keep an eye out for these four signs; if they’re missing, it might be time to move on. Not every relationship is smooth sailing. Couples who care about each other will encounter problems. What matters most is how you deal with these issues.

Psychomachia. Top Story - May 2024.
"Fragile. Handle With Care." You dropped my heart Cognizant it was made of glass I watched it descend in slow motion A careless mishap ? A sabotage , mayhap ? You put the blame on the wind And thrived in that chasmic cosy chaos ~~~~~ I wish I knew then, what I know now I failed to notice that a neon sign Above my head blinked " disposable " It overshadowed my warning label ~~~~~ If I weren't so myopic If I was just a tad psychic If I had followed the maps of my gut If I knew where your trail of paint would lead to I'd have stopped you long before ~~~~~ You were aphasic in dialect Nothing more than an empty envelope Or a cassette with its tape pulled out You felt so macho , like a champ But you're a psycho and a chimp ~~~~~ I'm feeling so conflicted Should I beg you not to leave? Or leave it to the cosmic energies? You don't believe in karma but you will When it shoves strawberries up your ass Watching you erode would be my bliss

Be where your feet are
Be where your feet are We often find ourselves either guilt-tripping in the past or ruminating about the future. The present is all that we have in our hands yet we tend to often forget the importance of living in the moment. In a world that constantly holds our attention, it becomes difficult for us to catch a moment of what our primary requirements are in the present, to catch a glimpse of what it is that we truly want for ourselves. Everything that you have ever dreamed of, wanted and will ever need, all of it stems from the present moment.
