All you need is Love, and Love is all you need.
Lost and Found
It’s strange how you don’t really realize how thankful you are for something until you come close to losing it. For example, I appreciate electricity, a whole lot more after I have to go without it for a few hours, or days due to a hurricane or storm. Or, when I get sick and have to stay home, I find myself to be more thankful for the majority of the time, when I am healthy. There’s so many things that I take for granted, much more than just electricity and a healthy body. I never really thought about all the things and people I take for granted until I almost lost my cousin. His near death experience inspired me to cherish and invest in my family relationships.

There it hangs, a half moon, abandoned by someone in the corners of the western sky. Above it, a grey-blue canvas stretches out, resembling a weathered piece of grey cloth more than the sky itself. A few feet below it, an inky darkness washes over, similar to a bottomless swamp, a landscape I know as the White Deer Plain. Before me, the city square unfolds in a surreal manner, its shadows wavering.
Jacklyn ParrishPublished 29 days ago in HumansHow to love yourself
What motivates you? How influenced are you by your thoughts, words, emotions, core values, and beliefs? The relationship between diet, exercise, and weight loss and the increasing rates of body dissatisfaction and overall dissatisfaction in society is complex. Self-love can significantly impact your life positively. Cultivating self-love is essential for meeting our fundamental need for connection and love. Developing a deep sense of worth and self-love can help us move away from seeking external validation and comparison with others. Embracing true beauty, love, and kindness towards ourselves can lead to a more fulfilling life. Instead of focusing on diets, prioritizing love is more effective. Positive emotions can bring our nervous system into alignment, leading to better decision-making and overall health. Our thoughts greatly influence our feelings, with a high percentage being negative. Experiencing and expressing love and gratitude can have a profound impact on our well-being and strengthen our emotional and physical health. Gratitude, in particular, plays a vital role in enhancing our lives and relationships.
Stop It
This is for the women who unapologetically complain about their husbands, boyfriends, partners, and the father of their children to everyone and anyone who will listen.
Celebrating My Greatest Source of Inspiration
In the quiet moments of reflection, I often find myself drifting back to sweet memories of my mom, Patricia born in 1916, the year of the Dragon! She was a woman of remarkable strength and resilience despite having only completed the 3rd grade in school. Her unwavering belief in the power of self, instilled in me from a young age, continues to shape my journey through life.

Pain and Deceit
Why are the most impactful moments in love also the most painful ones? In fact, a lover’s betrayal might be the very best prompt to self-actualization. It will force you to launch a full body scan to evaluate all the feelings and sensations you are experiencing and it will push you to analyze them in extensive details, making a poet out of you. Perhaps that is why I do not hate my ex so much.
Lily SéjorPublished 30 days ago in Humans The Dragons Besides Me
To be honest, there are quite a lot of dragons besides me during my life and somehow, the most inspirations comes from women. Suddenly, the question is, about which of them I wanna talk here. Of course, I could talk about my adoptive mum, since she created a lot of me, but I have my doubts that anyone wants to read a horror story at the international women day. I also could have talked about my biological mum, since my strength is coming from her. But even that seems wrong to me.

Pravena DevanPublished about a month ago in HumansThe Negative Impact of Drama in Relationships: Navigating the Perils of Unnecessary Conflict
In the intricate dance of human relationships, drama can be a perilous partner that undermines the foundation of connections. While a certain level of excitement and passion is expected in any relationship, toxic drama, characterized by unnecessary conflicts, exaggerated emotions, bringing up hurtful triggers or unresolved feelings, and incessant turmoil, can wreak havoc on the bonds we hold dear.

so pretty to think
ORIGIN STORY Hallmark once told my parents, concerning their love story, that it was "incredible, but not enough conflict" to be made into a movie. From birth, I was certain soul mates existed, that they found their way to you with the same pristine ethos as a stork delivering a baby in a crystal sky. When I asked my Mother about sex in 5th grade, she handed me a bodice-ripping romance novel and said, "Here, read this." I didn't stand a chance.
Cali LoriaPublished about a month ago in Humans None Know Better Than a Mother
My mother attempted to have me for six years. She had been the kind of girl who dreamed of being a mother, who ached to hold a child in her womb, in her arms. When it took doctors, surgeries, and long nights of prayer to produce me, her worry overcame her hope. She craved the sweet intimacy of a daughter, one who would share tears and laughter, dress up days and bakery dates. When I arrived it changed her world - and growing up I sometimes wondered whether that was for better or worse.
