Traumatic Effects
What is Emotional Trauma? Symptoms of emotional trauma, an emotional outburst, extreme anxiety, and relationship issues, may seem very “crazy,” but these expressions are nothing more than a human reaction to a very abnormal situation. Bluntly, emotional trauma stems from any situation that makes us, and other mammalian species, think that we are in danger.

I envy you. Top Story - January 2024.
You weigh on my chest, capture my breath. I'm held captive in your hold and stripped of all that I know. I'm a helpless, fallen soul beholden to empty hope. I'm lost here, all on my own. I'm lost here, broken to the bone.

In the veiled city of Zephyr, where clockwork owls patrolled the gaslight-kissed streets and houses sprouted mechanical vines, lived a clockmaker's apprentice named Elara.

Living with an Asshole!
What is an Asshole? Funny you should ask this question. An asshole is a muscle of the body that excretes biowaste from our body. It is also a person who is just flat rude, and mean and doesn't care whose feelings he hurts. I am sure we have all met at least one asshole in our lives, some of us even live with one.

Unpacking The Baggage: How Self-Esteem Shapes Personality
Self-esteem is so important at doing its job, we tend to take it for granted without realising its effects. It emerges from the core beliefs we have of ourselves - whether negative or positive, confident or insecure. Thus our self-esteem influences the development and expression of personality traits within us, based on the impact of past experiences and our self-perceptions of ourselves. It follows that low self-esteem often stems from the negative beliefs we have relating to our emotional state, like feeling inadequate, worthless, or unlovable, Yet the twin aspects of self-esteem could not be more different.

Narcissism And Personality Disorders. Content Warning.
Are all personality disorders the outcomes of frustrated narcissism? During our formative years (6 months to 6 years old), we are all “narcissists”. Primary Narcissism is a useful and critically important defense mechanism. As the infant separates from his mother and becomes an individual, it is likely to experience great apprehension, fear, and pain. Narcissism shields the child from these negative emotions. By pretending to be omnipotent, the toddler fends off the profound feelings of isolation, unease, pending doom, and helplessness that are attendant on the individuation-separation phase of personal development.

The Suncatcher's Walk
The Suncatcher's Walk: A Tapestry of Belonging (homelessness, self-discovery,belonging,acceptance, search for meaning) Seven o'clock chimes, yet my home feels distant, a mirage shimmering beyond two weary hours. My legs, mapmakers of endless pavements, ache as if sculpted from clay. The dim yellow lamp on the side table mocks my weariness, its dying filament flickering a premonition of dusk. Dinner sits unmade, a forgotten melody amidst the symphony of exhaustion that hums within me.
