What’s the “Situation” With Modern Love & Heartbreak?
During my high school and college tenure, the word "situationship" hadn't yet been popularized, but the concept certainly was. If you're unfamiliar with the term, it might be because the idea is ambiguous in and of itself.

Love is.... Top Story - February 2024.
I was actually intrigued by this challenge, because to me, love has always been many different things. There's no point in untangling the meaning of love, because it's a rope of many fibers, intristinctly linked. Seperate them, and the whole thing falls apart. The tangled threads of love are a Gordian Knot, impossible to untangle (unless you're Alexander the Great-At-Solving-Problems-With-A-Sword...)

Today I was Supposed To Be A Mom. Content Warning.
February 22nd Today, I was supposed to be a mom. I was going to ascend into queendom, transforming into a goddess, bearer of life, deliverer of sweet essence. But today isn't… that. In my valley of wretched shadows of death and malice demons, I nearly drowned with my babies. And as malignant beasts ravaged every corner of a broken world, which was all I thought I knew. It was my everything. My two little sweet ones were my everything.

Are you high?
Being quite “obsessed” with frequencies and related information about this topic, I want to invite you on a special journey. Science long confirmed that our emotions emit vibrations. Furthermore, our world tends to deliver us what we feel deep down, imagine that you are the "remote control" and you can tune to whatever channel you like! Confused? Interested? In this article, I will look at the traits of high-vibrational people.

"MASLOV'S HEIRARCHY OF NEEDS"
This is a story about Maslov’s hierarchy of needs of human motivation. Maslov’s hierarchy of needs is a pyramid very similar to a corporation hierarchy. This theory says there are many of us human beings living on the bottom rung of the ladder of the pyramid. Many people are barely surviving the physiological needs of surviving with food, water, air, shelter, and sleep. The people living on the self-actualization for personal growth, fulfillment, and a realization of one’s potential can seem out of reach for people on the bottom rung of the pyramid. A low-income person struggles to make ends meet, feed their family, and attend to their needs as the self-actualization of their life has been squashed due to being extremely tired, high rent, bills, and groceries. As our high inflation erupts society, I feel sad because I know how they feel. However, I studied Mid-Management in college in the 1970s. I was at the beginning of the woman power movement of self-actualization.

The Virtue of Showing Emotional Restraint
In both professional and personal settings, criticism is an inevitable part of life. Whether it comes from a colleague, a friend, or a family member, criticism can be challenging to navigate but important to embrace if it is justifiable. However, it can be especially difficult when the criticism is unwarranted or unjustified. Therefore, it is crucial to show emotional restraint in these situations, even when it feels difficult, rude, or unfair.

I use distilled water often. For some reason the local groceries keep that water in troughs that magically push a new bottle into place when the one at the front of the line is purchased.
