I like peanut butter, but never thought it was a gift from the Gods. Never understood the hype. I bought the expensive, small jarred peanut butter spread from Pic’s and feel in love. I was like, why is this better than an peanut butter I have ever tasted in my life? I have to know why this flavor is so good and better…

I am glassy eyed...everything resonates with me. You are an introverted person that gave so much of yourself to a person that you thought was worth your emotional commitment. She played you. She does not deserve your love and emotional commitment. You had every right to snap. Natural givers do not have an endless…

No kidding, Jinni! I always invisioned you as this striking Pocahontas like beauty. I don’t think I am all that off. I can picture you in my mind and I know that you are a stunningly beautiful woman. I am a white girl who went to a high school full of strikingly beautiful girls. I graduated from high school thinking I…

Instead of trying to correct yourself, just see it as a double Sunday. The first thought that comes to mind is Morrissey’s Every Day is Sunday. Sunday is a day of reflection and historically a day of spiritual commitment. As a woman, historically, it was the only day that you had a break from your domestic duties and…

I have always admired feline beauty from a distance. My younger sister had/has a horrible allergic reaction to cats ( full blown body hives even on her eyelids) and I grew up in a dog loving household that would never entertain the idea of a feline being the family pet. I always thought cats were majestic, but not…

I have a C-section scar and a hideous lower butt cheek scar from a freak accident. I did not realize that these scars would mess with my acceptance of my appearance and feminity the way they did. I went through a low level depressive period and would not look at my scars in the mirror. I had a realization (maybe even…

They look so regal and diplomatic. Did you read to them when they were chicks and into adolescents? They look so scholarly. 

Yes, you introduced me to Jamie Bower last week and he has a grip on me! Have you ever had a song that was so haunting and intoxicating, but you could not recite one whole line in the song (and it was in English)? Just curious what that song might be for you. Mine is Röyksopp - What Else Is There ?

Gread recommendation! Thank you 

Hmm, paid to be a hermit and be part of the unraveling of social order? You're the biggest threat to “the way things are”. Feminist are not the enemy of the state. Feminist are passionate, usually like men, are full of gusto and want to be part of a change/shift in thinking that is greater than themselves. Women who…

There are at least 4 types of introverts. Not everyone who is an introvert wants to lock themselves away from the world with a good book. I do not know if the publishing/writing world is full of extroverts, I do not get that impression. You are probably surrounded by liked minded ppl who think that putting a false…

Yes, yes, yes...unfortunately. I lost my best friend because she could not stop making the worst decisions that put her health, life, self worth and dignity in the hands of a glorified f*ck boi(s). I still wanted to have a relationship, but at a distance for my own mental health. She could not handle only hanging out…

Hmm, I don’t know how to express my mixed emotions and limited, but provocative understanding of your complex state. I went to school and got a 2 yr degree in Aviation Science with the expectation that I was going to pursue Air Traffic Control. I drove with my mom from  CA to Oklahoma to get an idea of what to expect…

I know this sounds cheesy, but maybe one of those massive 1000 piece puzzles with an Australian theme? I love reading, a good show or movie, but they shift my focus to other intellectual endeavors that do not always allow for self reflection. I have been reading your comments for years and quite like the way you think…

And a lot of them were not respected or admired even in their Zenith. They were intellectual panderers that made men chuckle with their over the top ideas about governing ppl in a way that seemed outlandish.

My only position that pokes a little hole in your position... at least they knew their enemy! They were not Christians, but they were not anti-Christians. Most of their wives were devote Christians. They walked a fine line. Enlightenment could cost you your marriage. 

It is actually the antithesis of what our forefathers believed in and wanted and what they put forward as a democracy that veered away from a monarchy. A lot of language that they established was ambiguous and open for interpretation with the idea that it would evolve with time. For all their faults, they left things…

That actually makes me want to throw up. I support a woman’s right to decide what she does with her body and believe in treating women like adults who know what is right for their bodies and futures. I am sadly disgusted by how many women are coerced into abortions by so called supportive boyfriends/partners. The…

The only group who has been able to put personal responsibility into action is women. Women who put God before man and publicly proclaimed that they answered to God before man, husband or society...I think you know their fate. A personal relationship with your Maker is terrifying to men. Men always want to be part of…

Does anyone have any ideas or willing to share what you do to live a life of gratitude? I can not meditate. I have read plenty of books and articles about gratitude and how to be more mindful. I know when I am at my best, gratitude comes naturally. When I am burdened with anxiety or caught up in a checklist mentality,…
