Dancing Across Loneliness: The End of Beginnings and the Hope of Goodbye.

In the buttery, iron taste of the aftermath, food will not fill me. A pill will not clear me of this, and sleep does not always lend itself to rest. The frothing surface of lingering promises shields the unknown sediment, sinking below. Every lie we tell ourselves haunts me, ripping apart my heart.

You Might not Think of Me, but I Dream of You.

Turn Your Back on the Systems That Want You to Hate.

We cannot address the deep collective sickness without addressing our own. We cannot apply surface solutions to deeply embedded collective traumas and claim it is enough. We cannot change the oppressive structures of the current regimes without stripping it down to its bones, and rebuilding its ...

The Magnetic Attraction Between Narcissists and Those with Low Self-Esteem.

That’s precisely how a narcissist and a low self-esteem individual can be magnets to one another. Both see the golden luster of the other, and want to catch it to prove themselves that they are able to be partnered with very attractive people.
