This post is dedicated to many who wonder and wander in search of matching souls, many who have been pierced too many times and left with perforation. Many who are now numb and devoid of passion, many who are learning to walk in love again after crashing, many who have lost themselves with no replacement… Continue reading Love Pasadena
The birthing story
There is always an event that leads to a turning point. For many, it becomes the villain or the hero story. Truth be told, how easy is it to become the hero? It goes against every sense of self-preservation that is instinctive to humans. And while it seems like being a hero is hard, try… Continue reading The birthing story
What do I do with all these feelings?
Elena Gual First of, I need you to know that this post is not about you, it may not even be about me, but it is definitely about rage and bottled emotions even after providing outlets to escape but it never seems to end. You know that moment when you decide to start your life… Continue reading What do I do with all these feelings?
The Sweet Lining – Criticism
Elkie Duck I listened to a clip of a podcast today that explained how women and men reacted to criticism differently, especially in a relationship. For women, criticism is seen as catastrophic and dealt with as a failure, which they must address to survive. Whereas men do not change as a result of criticism, rather… Continue reading The Sweet Lining – Criticism
Living & Loving

I love what companionship signifies, especially in a wholesome union where each part is completely allowed to… Continue reading Living & Loving

Instead, it is the seasons that forge us. The tests that build our muscles, the ashes that form the beauty. I… Continue reading This thing called life
Looking in the Mirror: What it truly means
By Marie Alexander It is often said that one should live in such a manner that sleeping at night is peaceful, in the popular words, 'no sleep for the wicked', or even that they may like their reflection in the mirror. While this is good advice, it is mostly from the viewpoint of perfection, making… Continue reading Looking in the Mirror: What it truly means
Flashback
Painting by Saidou Dicko I remember the teenage girl you once were. Standing in your gold and brown sweetheart neck bridal party gown. That was one of your happy days. Do you remember how pretty you felt? It was the closest feeling you have felt to being a princess. Do you remember the long road… Continue reading Flashback
Gratitude as an inflective reality
UZOArt '...And God saw that it was good.' The first time I had a different perspective on the efficacy of good was when I was asked the question, 'Why is good not enough?' I mean, there is enough to be said for goodness, but I never thought of goodness apart from the superlative sense. Good,… Continue reading Gratitude as an inflective reality
