“Disillusionment becomes an engine for growth because it forces us to discover our needs. Knowing oneself, recognizing one’s needs, and speaking up for them in a relationship are often acts of bravery. Most of us are guarded about our needs, because they are typically our areas of greatest sensitivity and vulnerability…”

“I shall die here. Every inch of me will perish. Every inch but one. An inch… It is small, and fragile, and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us. I hope that, whoever you are, you escape this place. I hope that the world turns and things get better. But I hope most of all that you understand that...

The Moods and Facebook Phenomenon
“But we don’t enjoy “Romeo and Juliet” because we like to feel superior to the young lovers or happy that they die apart. Instead we identify with their pain — and art gives us a way to witness it and know that we are not alone.”

The Dance of Intimacy
In winter, porcupines often huddle close to each other to retain warmth. However, soon the quills start to prick each other and thus the porcupines scurry away to avoid the pain. But, soon they slowly come back to each other to avoid the cold. Thus, the dance of intimacy remains in flux…
