Searching for Love . Top Story - May 2025.
The more I have to lose… the more I worry. I suppose I’ve always been this way. Of course no one wants to get hurt, loss things that matter or feel let down. But lately I have been really contemplating how bad my rejection sensitivity can be. To the point where I have made up things in my head that have to match my reality for me to realistically ever make a great connection. And as I start to wonder about taking chances in life and really focusing on things I want and how to get there…. Well… the sensitivity comes back in grand force.

Why Journaling with a Timer Improved My Writing. Top Story - May 2025.

my favorite movie magic is reel to reel. Top Story - April 2025.
Spoiler alert: This whole damn article is a spoiler! The film begins with a zither filling the screen, its strings vibrating behind the opening credits while its hidden musician plays one of the great musical scores in movie history. When the opening credits end a British narrator introduces us to post-war Vienna, a city divided into four zones by its occupying Armies: British, American, Russian and French. In its center an international force shares the responsibility for its policing with all the nasty political ramifications you might expect.
