Let me first say that this post might appear a bit darker than what I usually post or talk about, but this subject is close to my heart and very well worth exploring. So please, bear with me till the end. True intimacy always comes with a lot of risks. This is a paradox:
Introduction The world doesn’t always end with a bang, sometimes things go out with a whimper. Sure, some relationships end because of cheating or betrayal or huge fights, but I’ve seen many fizzle out because of an endless supply of little arguments which sap the life of significant others. The death by a thousand cuts,
Introduction There’s a tendency I’ve seen with people who are struggling with their mental health. They get introspective, which is great, but to a level that becomes troubling.

Introduction It seems like everyone has relationship advice.

Popped an experimental finger up their asshole. Honked their own boob. Wanted to tell their friend that they’ve been
There are many things that can be thoroughly enjoyable over the holiday season. Going to your hometown and drinking with your math teacher under the table, taking your nieces to see Santa, re-watching Die Hard for the thousandth time as your mother falls asleep on the sofa.
