NARCISSISTS FORCE YOU INTO ALIGNMENT WITH GOD
There is an ancient mystery: if God is everything, where does the darkness belong? In the beginning, there was darkness—and God said, Let there be light. The universe itself seems to speak in this language: light and shadow, death and renewal, creation and dissolution. Even the yin-yang carries the paradox: each contains a seed of the other.

Margaux Hemingway was living your Instagram feed in '75. And it killed her.
Long before the curated life was old money, a Hemingway was dying inside of it. A ‘soft girl era’ is trending across Pinterest and Instagram, a minimal aesthetics filled with photos of your most simplest moments; a morning latte, a phony ‘candid’ photo, a psychology book intentionally placed on your sofa. Intimate aspects of life that were once kept private are now shared with the world. But this trend isn’t new. Before supermodels and their lavish lifestyles we see today, there was Margaux Hemingway—the striking ‘face’ of the ‘70s generation when it came to fashion and modeling. Her intimidating and mysterious aura captivated women globally. The media turned her into the muse you aspired to be.

Fromm's Objective Happiness: A Critique of THE ART OF BEING
Erich Fromm's argument from an early passage [pages 3-4] from The Art of Being begins with an intuitively attractive distinction. Not every desire deserves to be called a genuine human need merely because it is strongly felt. A person may passionately desire cigarettes, domination, intoxicants, status objects, or forms of behavior that ultimately diminish rather than enrich life. Fromm therefore rejects the idea that happiness can simply mean the successful gratification of whatever desires happen to arise within us. Instead, he proposes an "objective" conception of human flourishing: some needs promote growth, self-realization, love, compassion, and fuller functioning, whereas others deform, diminish, or obstruct the person.

Your Mind is Messy too
On learning to live with the noise inside our heads instead of waiting for it to disappear Okay, so I’ve been putting off writing this one for a while because I didn’t know how to say it without sounding like every other “healing” post out there. But here goes anyway.

Disconnection And Death. Top Story - August 2026.
Written by a human, for humans, always. What does it mean to be human? It is a fascinating question that has been asked by all forms of people since at least the beginning of records we can find.

Sometimes I Daydream That I Could Stop Daydreaming
My entire life I have been what most people refer to as a "dreamer." Of course, I have been referred to as several other things that were much less tame or polite too. The most painful among them being "lazy." Sadly, when I say "my entire life" I truly mean my entire life... all 46 years I've been on this planet. It was only very recently that I realized that I have severe adult ADHD.
