In group therapy, we were talking about the Johnny Depp/Amber Heard trial. I have mostly ignored it because, in my opinion, this has nothing to do with anyone besides the two of them. As everyone rattled on about it I realised one interesting fact: if Amber had not stood up for herself, none of this … Read moreJack Sparrow vs. The Time Pirate
If your significant other has alexithymia, you will not get the emotional validation or authentic intimacy that make a relationship meaningful and genuine. Loneliness, uncertainty, misunderstanding – These are feelings that often come up for those in relationships with alexithymic people.

As we were leaving the theatre, we smacked right into one of my exes. He did his best to make direct eye contact with me so I would speak to him but I was super classy and I bolted across the street to avoid talking to him. Yeah, things with us ended strangely.

Let me make something very clear – endurance is not strength. Just because I am able to continue on with everything that I am given, day in and day out does not mean that I am strong. Stop romanticising my negative experiences. They are just as awful as anyone else’s. I remember once when I … Read morethe struggle
You feel happiness in intervals like tiny nibbles of chocolate, closing your eyes and savouring each luscious morsel until it is gone & the next piece is in your grasp.
