Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Goodbye Kerry
I have been catching up with a ‘colleague’ for about two years now. We meet every Tuesday or Wednesday. At first, it was for a walk around the park with a coconut and lychee smoothie, then it became over a coffee. Now we grab a lunch during our weekly get-togethers. There are texts here and there, but we see each other weekly – always ‘face to face.’

How You Can Be So Right and So Wrong at the Same Time
I’m in the midst of a painful “ah-ha” moment. It’s one of those times when I’m forced to admit that I’m not always as nice as I should be. The good thing about this is that I can change. The bad thing is, I’m not sure I will, but I intend to try. Here’s what’s going on.

My Reappropriation
The biggest regret of my youth is that I never recognized my own worth. If I could go back, I would tell myself to embrace those warm, melty and soft parts of myself, my flair for everything creative and poetic, and not repress those innate hallmarks to fit into society’s exoteric mould. That’s exactly what I would do.

Maslow's Hierarchy (of Suffering)
Ok, so we're going to start this one with a teachable moment here. In the world of psychology, there exists what is known as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, and over the years since it was created it has been a successful tool in gauging what parts of a person's past are still lingering in the present, specifically in terms of what "needs" they currently have and what needs may not have been met when they were younger.

Sometimes a Sweatshirt is Just a Sweatshirt . . .
The Story I have a friend who wears a Harvard Law sweatshirt. She didn’t study there. She wanted to, but didn’t. But she doesn’t mind if you think so when you see her wearing the sweatshirt. In fact, that’s pretty much why she wears it.

If at First You Don’t “Succeed” . . . Fail, Fail, Again
The Story I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. — Michael Jordan

The Astral Projection and Its Importance to Mankind
The Astral Realm The Astral plane is one of the seventh planes of existence. It is the place where consciousness goes after physical death. Regarding esoteric knowledge, all human beings possess an astral body. The Astral plane is the place where all the spiritual beings stay, such as the souls of people after their death until the moment they incarnate again. Angels, demons and so on.

Jewel
I sit here alone in my lounge typing. I'm always alone unless I meet the other women for coffee once a week. I'd rather be alone than get involved and fall in love again, just to get hurt. 6 months ago, I was in love with the man who I thought was the man of my dreams. It was bliss for two months and I had everything I had ever dreamed of, or I thought I did until reality crept up on me. I wasn't allowed to go anywhere, see my female friends or talk to males. I had to clean the house until it was spotless, and the only time I was allowed to speak was when he spoke. I was his maid and I was made to bow down to him in ways I now know to be wrong. Hell! I even had to ask for a bath and was only allowed to eat what he said I could. Ever since that day, I have been in the tornado of torment that plays in my mind. I am afraid to be loved.
