A Dream to Teach Perspective
I won't make up any names or descriptions of faces. I'll only tell this dream as I saw and heard it almost a year ago. I've procrastinated in sharing it. I remember I could almost feel the dust blowing through her shattered home. I'll describe every detail, making the dream seem longer, but it only flashed before my eyes a little more than 10 seconds.

We are in the midst of the 21st century, and that means that relationships have evolved, giving way to new ways of loving and being happy. On one hand, we have Monogamy, an old acquaintance with relationships of two, strong and indestructible (well, that is if you don't go through one of those emotional storms that tear everything down). And on the other hand, Polyamory, which has come stomping like giants to break those stale schemas and show us that you can love several people at once and be truly happy. Now, not everything is rosy, there is also science behind this, and precisely psychology in the midst of its studies shows us the advantages and disadvantages of each type of relationship.
The different forms of intimacy
Intimate relationships, the cornerstone of human connection, manifest in diverse forms, each uniquely enriching our lives. Spanning from the fervent depths of romantic partnerships to the unwavering loyalty of familial bonds and the supportive embrace of friendships, these relationships serve as fundamental channels through which we experience love, growth, and understanding. This exploration seeks to unveil the myriad faces of intimacy, highlighting how each form contributes to our emotional landscape. By delving into the essence and dynamics of these connections, we aim to celebrate the complexity of human interaction and the profound impact of intimate relationships on our journey through life.
An Apology to You.
I took a moment to sit down and have a heart-to-heart with myself. Yup, you heard that right. I had a one-on-one apology session, not for my own sake, but for yours. Sounds peculiar, I know, but bear with me. It was like a weight off my chest, dumping out all those unspoken grievances, even if they never reached your ears. It was a bit of self-imposed therapy, and it seemed to work wonders.

It was the night of August 21, 2012. I started experiencing labor pains. I had suffered a lot during my third pregnancy. My gynecologist was very concerned about my complicated situation. I had been suffering from a urine infection for the last 2 months. The 8th month had been challenging for me. The weight of a growing belly, internal discomfort, and two small children. Abraham did all he could to help.
Ainy AbrahamPublished 17 days ago in HumansAn Inspiring Message to You
April is the start of Autism Awareness Month, while April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day. It's a day to highlight the need to improve the lives of those with autism. I was diagnosed with autism at the age of five. Many of my peers in school and everyone else said that I wouldn't have a successful life. Despite those naysayers, I refused to give up. I was bullied for being different from others, because autism was so misunderstood back in the 90s. I was in special education classes from Pre-K through my junior year of high school. I'll be forever grateful of my teachers and everyone for helping me become the person I am today. Special education teachers in general deserve all the credit for taking time out of their day to help people like me strive for excellence. Autism Awareness is one the causes I'm very passionate about, because it's something that's relatable to me. It's also a cause that very close to my heart. Plus, it's something I can speak about from personal experiences. I believe that people sharing their stories about being on the spectrum will be inspirational to others.

Azhar Mehboob uthwalPublished 17 days ago in HumansEASTER Time of Reflection
You wake up to a cool breeze. Dark as night your alarm hits a high. You shut it off for 5min but you really want 5 more hours. You lay there, in silence. As if to be meditating but really to look around your room. The space you now call home and wonder if this is it. All the years and experience brought you to this. Back in your child home where all you have is memories of happy times and surrounding reminders of what was. No dating, no boys or even intimate connections. Just happy memories that made you happy to be alive.
How to Deal with the Fact that Everyone We Love Will Die Someday
There's obviously a degree of pragmatism built into the human psyche, which enables us to carry on each day while somehow completely ignoring life's largest and most alarming truths. Yes, everything is meaningless, and we find ourselves floating about on a speck in an infinite universe, and we have no real idea how any of this came about, yet, for a time, one can manage to focus all their attention and care on the fact that they're running late to their morning shift at the grocery store. But every now and then these truths sweep over our awareness, and in an instant, the whole world becomes unrecognizable.

In the quiet town of Ellsworth, nestled between rolling hills and meandering rivers, lived a young artist named Emma. Emma had a heart full of dreams and a canvas that captured the essence of beauty in everything she saw. Yet, amidst her colorful landscapes and vibrant portraits, her heart yearned for a connection that transcended the boundaries of her art.One crisp autumn day, as leaves danced in the wind, painting the town in shades of gold and amber, Emma's path crossed with Liam, a kind-hearted musician whose melodies could soothe the most troubled souls. Liam, with his gentle smile and eyes that sparkled like the night sky, was a melody personified, a song that Emma had longed to hear.Their meeting was serendipitous, a chance encounter at the local café where Liam's soft tunes filled the air, and Emma's sketches brought life to paper. It didn't take long for their souls to recognize each other, for in Liam's eyes, Emma found a home, and in Emma's smile, Liam found his heart's song.Their love was a canvas of dreams, painted with the hues of sunsets they watched together, the melodies of songs they danced to in the moonlight, and the warmth of embraces that felt like returning home. Emma's art found a new muse in Liam, her paintings now imbued with the emotions that his presence evoked within her. And Liam, inspired by Emma, composed ballads that spoke of love, belonging, and the beauty of finding one's soulmate.Life, however, had its own designs, weaving challenges and trials into their tapestry of love. Liam received an opportunity that beckoned him to a distant city, a chance to share his music with the world. The prospect of separation loomed over them, a storm threatening to drench their haven of love.On the eve of Liam's departure, as they walked hand in hand through the gardens that had witnessed the blossoming of their love, Emma's heart weighed heavy with unspoken fears. The silence between them spoke volumes, a quietude that echoed their inner turmoil.It was then that Liam stopped, turning to Emma with a gaze that held the promise of eternity. "In your eyes, I find my home," he whispered, his voice laced with emotion. "In your smile, my heart finds its song. With you, my love forever roams, in your arms, where I belong."Tears welled in Emma's eyes, a torrent of love and fear mingling in her heart. Yet, in Liam's embrace, she found her fortress, a sanctuary that shielded her from the storms of uncertainty.The night before Liam's departure dawned, a canvas of stars witnessing the depth of their love. Emma presented Liam with a portrait she had painted, a depiction of their souls intertwined, a testament to their eternal bond. Liam, in turn, played for her a melody he had composed, a ballad that narrated their love story, a promise of forever sealed in the notes of his guitar.Time passed, seasons changed, but the bond between Emma and Liam remained unyielded. Distance became but a mere word, for their hearts beat in unison, their love a bridge that spanned miles. They found ways to be together, in letters filled with dreams, calls that bridged the silence of nights, and visits that rekindled the flame of their love.Years later, as they stood once again in the gardens of Ellsworth, vows of eternal love exchanged under a canopy of stars, Emma and Liam proved that true love knows no bounds. In their journey, they had discovered that home wasn't a place but a heartbeat, and in each other's arms, they had found where they truly belonged.Their story, a testament to the power of love, continued to inspire those who heard it, a reminder that in the gaze of the one we love, we can find our forever home, and in their smile, the melody of our heart's song.
