Independence: freedom from the control, influence, support, aid, or the like, of others. Do I have this? Financially, I’ve been largely independent since age 17 (well, somewhat so since age 15, but still lived at home). I think the last time I borrowed money was when I was 23, a full-time student with two children, […]

I feel love. It cuts me very deeply and leaves me open and raw and feeling bereaved, yet also feeling soft and warm and comforted because that love is beautiful even as it is painful. Additionally, that love causes distress because I fluctuate between feeling tough and feeling tender. I do not allow myself vulnerability, […]

I wonder what it would be like to feel attachment to people, places, things? One of the strangest things about me is that I have very little attachment to anyone or anyplace or anything. Internally, when I feel myself begin to get too attached to someone or something, I automatically shut off those feelings because […]

I once received a detailed zodiac horoscope describing my personality based on details of my birth. There was much info about the affects of the sun and planets on my lifespan that made no sense to me, but the personality attributes were fairly accurate. The number one attribute? You envy those around you who live […]

I always feel strange when I hear about other people’s “bucket lists” – things people want to do before they die. Maybe it’s my chronological age, or may it’s just human nature, but it seems like the majority of things people want to do have to do with sex, drugs, and/or daredevil stunts. I can’t […]

I am feeling confused today, though about what I am uncertain. The feeling in my head is a jumbled feeling, as if there is something I am upset about and something I’m not upset about that are warring in my mind. But, I do not have any feelings of upset in my heart. I am longing for the […]

I am feeling very thankful that I am alive. This morning, I read about a very sad situation – a young couple in love, separated by death. They met, they fell in love, they were happy together. The young woman, though, was stricken with an incurable disease. The young man, knowing his beloved would soon […]

I’ve decided to post some thoughts I’ve written in other places at other times but which still make sense to me. This one is about Fear vs. Love: Today I was taking a walk and looking at the surrounding natural beauty of this world. I thought of how peaceful it was and then immediately thought […]

The thing that is bothering me today is the sexualization of females. It is disheartening, disturbing, and disgusting to me. I look at female musicians and a large majority of them choose to post images of themselves scantily-clad, in provocative and suggestive poses, with “come hither” looks on their faces. It’s so frustrating. I understand […]

Today I am wondering: when I feel the varied emotions which can be collectively called “Love”, what am I feeling? According to the Ancient Greeks, there were four main types of love: Agape – unconditional and selfless love, does not require reciprocation. Eros – passionate love, as for one’s mate, requires reciprocation. Philia – companionate […]
