Страх — как Люцифер. Был ангелом, а потом что-то пошло не так, и вот: тебя уже все ненавидят.

Just think about it, you are having a relaxing day at home. You don’t have work to do, you’re just cuddled up with your Pomeranian named Fluffy on the couch reading a newspaper. No big deal, right? As you are reading the newspaper, you notice something. It’s an ad to be apart of an experiment. As most…
Compatibility between couples is key for a long-term relationship.

It was over a year ago that my then 85-year-old father brought me a trunk load of apple wood he had methodically cut up — by hand, mind you — from his beloved tree. “Each piece is less than eighteen inches so it will fit in your stove,” he remarked. That was in the early summer of 2014. It was a humid day…

I woke up at 6 this morning to the sound of beeping and banging and yelling coming from outside my window. I rubbed my eyes and looked outside, only to see a blanket of dark grey rain clouds.
Hi all, just wanted to share some thoughts with you. As I was walking this morning I started thinking of my weekend and the things I learned from it. My husband and I took a two hour drive back to our childhood town. We actually stayed at my childhood house. My sister owns it now and has had it remodeled since we lived there, but the only thing that…
Great writing has two parts. First, there’s the story itself. Then, there’s how you write it. You’ve gotta…
I’m happy that you keep on writing despite the haters. I’m also glad that no one threatened you using your home address or anything like that — it’s so much harder to laugh it off when there’s a credible threat of violence, and I know a lot of women writers have had to deal with that.
My favorite part of your article was the guy calling your cat your demonic familiar!
Silence is patience wading in the waters of a frantic wake, sleeping in the settled unrest of chaos, killing time to live forever. To fear God is to run with reckless abandon into the unknown, blind, naked and famished for certainty, in debt to nothing but your dreams.

Most of my everyday after my consciousness and greater share in deciding what I generally do, everything started with WORTH, I have real fascination for this word WORTH. Do I feel worth in it? Yes I do, that corresponds to most of things I do, because its worth.
I keep thinking that I should have moved on by nowThat I shouldn’t be feeling this amount of sorrow by nowThat the sadness should be ebbing by nowThat mind should be back to normal by now

I could’ve done something besides write this.
I could’ve read something on Medium. And, odds are, that something would have been something related to productivity, something about getting up in…
No matter how hard you try, sometimes things don’t go as you want and you feel stuck. So what do you do then?
Maybe I am not being fair to myself, but I don’t consider myself productive. Instead I would describe myself as a person who is careful to details. (Some extraordinary…

Get rich or die vlogging: The sad economics of internet fame
I started this tradition at the end of 2012 on my Silly Little CaveGirl blog. Back then I was learning to nourish myself and defend myself. I continued the tradition as I continued that blog for two more years. Through my divorce and my reawakening. And my return to my true self.

It used to be that when the going got tough, the tough got going. A simple aphorism, making some baseline assumptions about the relative feasibility and merit of toughness. Not everyone can be tough, it presumes, but those who are, well, they will get going, and…

Rain
A storm approaches
sky is dark, water is pouring
It seems endless
And for that moment, it is
But the storm does end
The sun comes out
The holidays can be a bittersweet time for many. While others are all jolly and happy, there are a lot of people who are trying desperately not to be a “negative Nancy.” I had a…
you’re special
you’re really really special
I hope you believe it
when you think someone’s better than you are
you better look in the mirror
look at how beautiful and unique you are
I was once told in my life that you should forever dream your wildest dreams. To shoot for the stars, because at a certain age that dream begins to diminish. It’s a sad truth that 99.9% of all things in life…
memories, what bittersweet things. we can’t decide to keep the beautiful ones, and simply toss the sad and upsetting ones out like crumpled pieces of paper with no ideas on them. perhaps that's a good thing, because the past is what makes you, you and me, me. all the things we have conquered on this road-trip…
My fingers hurt as they struggle to turn it right side out. Its still damp from yesterday. I’m standing on top of my shoes and putting it on is not going to be fun this morning. The joy and excitement of going out that I had as a kid is all but washed away. Its now about exercise, almost a chore. But…

Dinner
I had dinner with 3 homeless gentleman on the streets of Raleigh, NC last night and it changed my perspective. Taking the time to buy dinner, sit and have conversation with someone who is mostly neglected by society as a worthless deadbeat or bum enriched my life. Sometimes we forget people are people and our sinful…
There is a sensation that occurs on my rear.
Tingles that rise up my spine then slowly melting into my upper back.
The causes vary however the sensation continues.
A compassionate hug straight from the Third World.
Thank you so much for the post !! This helped a lot.
Ugh, I feel you! I’m not a comedian, but heaven forbid I express an opinion on the internet that’s contrary to what a man would say! How DARE I opine that rape jokes aren’t funny without being called a joyless bitch!
I have recently realized that it’s not about perfection, but it’s about effort and when you bring that effort every single day, That’s where transformation happens- That’s how change occurs.
A summer draught
finds its way through my window
in the evening twilight
The sun hides its face
and the world trades its suit of blue
for a purple twilight robe
“Mishandled phone”
Since my Nokia xpress music got lost in a resort and it wasn’t my fault why it was lost and my mom promised she’ll buy the same but instead she bought me a smartphone (Samsung galaxy pocket) which is similar to my sister and I’m not really happy but I should be contented of what I’ve had.

Comfort is dangerous…
I’ve been living in the comfort zone for far too long. And the price I’ve paid has been great. I have been putting in efforts where I didn’t see fruit, and neglecting the areas where I knew a blessing was awaiting me. So in that, I…
Life is an end. It is not a means to an end, but an end itself.
Life does not live as the means to the service of death. And yet life is at it’s end is death. Life which moves on and continues cannot be an end. Unless the end we know is not right. An end by limits and…

I was thinking that one of the skills we need most is now moot. Talkin’ ‘bout delayed gratification, one of the hallmarks for achieving middle-classness. This may be a singular contributing factor to the fast declining middle-class.

Awesome post, completely resonated with it!
Bubble of gaining statisfaction from outside in has bursted. We can now see through all the lies which were told to us by our parents, corporations & society in general. Once it bursts there is a cascading effect, when you see meaninglessness of one thing, everything connected to…
Thanks Yasir bhai…
Wonderful Jacqueline du Plessis what you’ve done. I wanted to ask where was it just for the context. I also wanted to ask did you find them again because I saw in your response to someone that they didn’t come. Did you ever see them again? Do you know what they’re doing now?

Today is the last day of work for the year.
What did he say about the second solution you gave?
Ritual or Routine.
Why don’t the seasons feel like either? The changes are always always heralded and proclaimed throughout the earth. A proclamation by wind. The wind from the trump of God himself.
These are the words that echo in my mind since the age of nine ….Thank you

A day in Tokyo
A bit depressed in Tokyo today to be honest. Conflicts at home are leaving me in a weird place emotionally. I crawled out of bed early - a lingering headache followed me into washroom. Cold water in the face is the recommended cure, but as I patted dry, the dull ache behind my eyes just laughed at me.

"Dancing around the truth".
Y E S , this is it, the very frustrating problem some people have when I talk with them. I wish they would realize already that it’s even more painful to chat with that kind of attitude.
I always want a better world, better environment, better life. Who doesn’t? I think everybody want everything better in their life. But sometimes we just end up only wanting without doing anything, hoping everything just changing the way we want it.
“People are the key . . .
People collaborating with people have the answers to the betterment of our civilisation.”

Through the lens of time
I see me as I was
And how I could be
I see who I used to be
I’ve had life pretty easy. I never really had to try hard at anything. Let’s just say growing up I was very well taken care of.
Don’t get me wrong, I would consider my family middle class, maybe upper middle class for where I grew up…
I’ve always been a “night bug” too. I can remember falling back to sleep while waiting my turn for the bathroom in the morning (2 sisters , 1 brother) the earliest memory of it, I think was 1st grade. Mornings are overrated, I think people are “wired” differently, I am FAR more productive at night, when most others are sleeping.
Spot on. This is the road to tyranny
I had to come back as I roominated on that last kill myself and how it felt bad to say, but good to get “Off of my Chest.”

I have seen. Change is not easy in a society. It takes people out of their comfort zone. Fear of the unknown. Ignorance to the fact that everything is going to be alright. Life is change and we must learn from past mistakes and past successes. Live happy and never with fear.
