Finding your Tribe.

5

I've walked this earth for thirty eight years, and I'm genuinely unsure if I have a tribe. I've never really felt like I belonged anywhere, like I truly fit in. My partner, who is also my lover and my best friend is the closest I have. When I'm with her, no matter where we are, I feel like I'm home. The thing is, our differences

I think everyone feels this way at some point in their life, but sir you are home now. Kick your feet up and enjoy yourself

Where does one start...

Last weekend is a time in my life I hope never to repeat. I'm not sure I can find the words to describe it, but I should probably try (continuing the idea of this being a form of self-therapy and all that).

I'm sure I'm not the first, and I know I won't be the last, but let me just say...

I hope that this indeed does help her; I haven't experienced that myself, but I can offer you my sympathy for being in that situation.  I don't know how I would handle it, nor will I claim to.

Using ones words.

By this I mean that they always seemed to have lots of trust to spend with others similarly wealthy with...

If you could ask eternity one question.

I'm frequently confused by the observation that too many people seem unaware of the chains that link all of us together. Had I the chance to cast one question into the sky, knowing I would receive a whole and complete answer, it would be to ask that most dangerous of questions; "why?".

Every action we take, creates ripples around us. Everything we do can, and...

What does one say to a largely empty room. I think the biggest thing …

I've heard many theories, chief of which is that Neptune is in retrograde. There has to be more to it though, because I've seen too many people be handed far too much additional stress.

It's not even just occurring around me. People I know, even people I've only just met seem to be having a tough time. I might be imagining things, but it seems...
