I smoked a lot of dope in high school. I dropped out without completing my grade thirteen. I went from part time to full time at Calderone shoes. A girl I was dating at the time convinced me to return to school. I went to Seneca for audio-visual techniques. While I found that program basic, I took a psychology course as an elective and fell in love with it.

My Brains Not Broken

AUGUST 2, 2022

Last week, I wrote about the summer and how it’s flying by. This weekend, everything I did reminded me of the classic phrase “time flies when you’re having fun.” While it might feel our lives are moving faster than we can handle, that can also mean we’re doing things we enjoy and are with people we love. And even though those feelings of enjoyment can be fleeting, being intentional about feeling them can actually go a long way toward long-term health and wellness.

One of the biggest mistakes separated parents do in their texting and emailing with a narcissistic ex, is try to respond to all their false, misleading and manipulative remarks and allegations. There is a felt need to correct the narcissist and not be blamed for matters that do not originate with oneself, but them. With that the narcissist just sees you as engaged and rather than standing corrected, they respond with more infuriating and manipulative versions of their view of things.

As small businesses crumble, shelves get emptier and the care-worker shortage intensifies, life outside the EU is having a dire effect on many of us. Why aren’t politicians talking about it? When British politicians talk about Brexit and its consequences, they tend to adopt rictus grins and assure us that, by some miracle as yet unexplained, everything is going to be OK.

I love Lemn Sissay’s poetry and I loved the book, My Name is Why, if you are allowed to love a book that is a real life story of loss, anger, bewilderment and sadness. What I mean is that I have read many “lives of” books and blogs of those who have been unfortunate enough not to be able to live with their own families during their childhood years.

She wasn’t hit. Her dad did hit her mom though. As mean as he was to her mom, she was treated like gold. She was the favorite. She had learned early on by what she witnessed, never to cross her dad. In fact, she did whatever she could to please and appease him. It was no wonder she was his favorite. Come adulthood she met and married a man much like her father.
