Mental health is a fundamental right; the future of humanity depends on it.
Afternoon Tea
I didn’t show up for work that day, but it couldn’t be helped. As it were, this was the most important thing in all the world and needed to be addressed thoroughly and completely. I sat in silence as my husband hurled obscenities at me in front of my two children. That morning at 4 am he had shouted for me to get out of bed. Shortly afterwards, he did the same with our two children. They slowly and sleepily made their way to the kitchen with worried faces and straight backs.

Science, Philosophy, and Technology
As a research scientist myself nothing gets under my skin so deeply as hearing fellow scientists disparaging philosophy. Many times one hears it from the so called “popularizers” of science who spend their days not on the bench, or in the lab or the field actually practicing science, but rather on the couch or in front of a screen dispensing their wisdom upon the unwashed masses. These are the same “scientists” who praise the virtue of the technologists (who also despise philosophy for some reason(s) that make(s) no sense), and think science and technology are one and the same discipline, brothers in arms against the dark forces of religion and mysticism that threaten to overwhelm the land. In addition to their disgust with philosophy the other thing these pop-sci paragons share with the techno-elites is an ego that must constantly be fed a steady diet of adulation, praise, and recognition.

The Woods
The last time I saw him he was dropping me off at the airport in Austin. I was crying but didn’t want him to see. The car idled in the passenger drop-off lane, and though we weren’t supposed to linger, we did. I had my back turned to him. Of course he knew I was crying. I was sniffling and wiping hot tears from my face. He reached out to me and said gently, “Hey…hey. Turn around.” I snorted a laugh, turned around, and sang the opening lines of “Total Eclipse of the Heart.” We spent lots of time on that trip singing dramatic radio rock remembering decades past. He laughed with me, added his Adam Sandler version to the song, and pulled me in close for a final hug. I pressed my cheek to his chest and breathed him in, missing him already.

To the chronically misunderstood sensitive ambivert; I totally get you.
Hello, highly sensitive ambiverts! Being such a complex and contradictory, often socially misunderstood personality type has been such a journey for understanding (for me, personally). All of my life I’ve felt both that I was older than my peers (and sometimes even wiser than a lot of people who were older than me, like I magically had built in wisdom somehow available to be intuively) and yet I have such a youthful energy. It also creates confusion too, that my genes also make me appear younger than my human years. But anywho, I felt like sharing an analysis of my own collection of experiences would yield some useful knowledge for whomever might be needing to hear it [because I sure as hell would have found it validating and confirming to have someone who gets it when you feel like a unicorn in a field or rather, sea of horses].

Tea with My ancestors
This year I started practicing witchcraft. I was a skeptic for a very long time, but I started to notice that I was able to predict things, then I noticed that I was able to influence things. So I started to study. As I sit here with my cup of tea, which was heating as I finished my coffee, I reflect on the ideas of witchcraft and the things I have learned over the past nine months of study and learning.

The NHS Vs The Forgotten Patients
Mental health was once a taboo subject, it was barely discussed never mind treated accordingly. Nowadays, it seems to be at the forefront of everyone's mind. Does this then mean that treatments have progressed alongside the social attitude towards it?

If you believe that everyone is bad, read this.
If you still genuinely feel like people have bad intentions and you are always coming up with reasons why you cannot trust them, they are lying or their actions are fake ----> you really have to check in with yourself as well.

What Is The Meaning Of Today?
Whats today? Today is a special day because you can’t take it with you. We all experience today differently because time doesn’t stop for any of us. This article talks briefly about a few things we might experience and how each experience will be unique because of our particular background in life. We cannot get away from living in this moment and feeling everything around us no matter how hard we try and live in the past or future, even if we tried to.

What is an Empath? Here are 11 Different Kinds of Empaths..
I like writing about empaths and intuitive empaths, but I have never written so in-depth about all of the different kinds of empaths to this level. It has been very interesting assessing all the many similarities and differences of empaths.
