💌 The “Soft Life” Relationship: Loving Without Fear
For the first time in my life… love didn’t feel like survival. I didn’t wake up anxious. I didn’t wonder if I was “too much.” I didn’t question whether my feelings were safe.

Smiling Outside, Sinking Inside
He was always the quietest person in the room. Not shy. Not awkward. Just quiet. At work, he met deadlines. At gatherings, he smiled politely. When someone asked, “How are you?” he responded with the universal lie — “I’m good.” He mastered the art of appearing functional. And in modern society, functionality is mistaken for mental health.

The Soul That Never Felt From Here
Born Human, But Not Only That As we see a body being born, many of us assume that that’s all there is. We are that baby, that person who is born, so we are automatically human. But our essence isn’t visible. It’s felt.

Trying to Take a Left Off the Roundabout
I won't keep anyone long. An introductory post that may never be followed up on. I'm not in a great place. I can't see many opportunities in my future, that excite me at any rate. My romantic relationship is far from ideal. No kids and mostly estranged from my family. I have so few friends I can't volunteer. I've witnessed corruption in the worst way - repeated institutional failures and no, I'm not a conspiracy nut! Just shit luck and a defiant, diogenic personality that's not exactly helped me or anybody else much.

When Thoughts Become Judge
When Thought Becomes the Judge The tragedy of thought is not that it exists, but that it so easily turns against itself. What was meant to illuminate begins to interrogate.

It’s Really Not That Deep
Some days I hate myself for still wanting things I was never built to have. Some days I hate everyone else for having them without trying. I hate their friends. I hate their laughter. I hate birthday parties and inside jokes and photos where nobody is standing slightly outside the circle. I hate how effortless it looks. Like if you asked them how they do it, they’d laugh. Or look at you in that quiet way that makes you wish you hadn’t asked. I know it’s pathetic to resent people for being loved. I know it makes me seem like someone you wouldn’t want to know. I hate that I know that and I still feel it anyway.
