Relationships Aren’t Transactions
In a world where we weave through the complexities of human connections, it is perhaps a little too easy to forget that the only person we truly know is ourselves. Everyone else—those friends, family members, colleagues, and lovers—are, in a sense, unfamiliar and unpredictable entities that we attempt to bring into our lives. We think of them as extensions of our desires, functions in the greater machinery of our day-to-day existence. But perhaps, relationships are less like the human connections we idealize and more like machines we expect to perform specific tasks for us.

Echoes of Yesterday. AI-Generated.
The first time it happened, Daniel dismissed it as nothing. A passing sound—an old music box tune—floating in the air as he walked past a bookstore.

The Lasting Impact of Childhood Trauma
It's a term we've been hearing a lot lately, especially in the news. Celebrities and influencers are coming out of the woodwork and talking about ways that they have been mistreated in their childhood. I used to look at those stories and read them and feel this immense empathy for them, but I never understood why. What about my life was similar to theirs? What did I go through that makes our experiences sound almost 100% alike despite distance, time, money, status, etc.? They were groomed and experienced SA (sexual assault), and so did I. Mine just wasn't seen under a spotlight in front of the world. Now I realize that, and I want to help others heal and come to terms with their own trauma. The only way to move forward is by going through this healing process, and I think that's always done better together, with other people who have experienced what you have.
