Come find out, but I take no responsibility if you end up feeling insulted. — I used to say (yes, very openly) I have two faces: one public face, which people know me in person for, and one private face, which you can see here. Some people know who I am in both places, and if you do I trust (or once trusted) you very…

Ever wondered that? If so, let’s talk. But before you click here, beware: I won’t be sugarcoating it. — First of all, let’s keep one thing in mind. Even if you forget all else, remember this: You belong on Earth, for better AND for worse. You can’t just have the good bits of belonging on Earth with none of the discomfort. I’m opening the article with the above because…

They hate condescension, but somehow think patronising behaviour is a-okay (as if these weren’t synonyms). — A while ago, I wrote a very empathetic article about people who exhibit a lot of lunar energy. You can check it out here. I’m not sure I still mean it. I’d love to keep believing what I said there, because I like trying to stay hopeful and see the…

You can’t defend yourself if you’re already vulnerable. Not even with the fanciest rituals. — I don’t know and don’t care who started this trend of compartmentalising different areas of knowledge — as if they didn’t overlap and connect at various points throughout life — but it has to stop.

(Even if they probably don’t love me back). — This title is a bit weird, let’s be honest. Love isn’t a thing we justify or rationalise; we just have it. That being said, I think this is a good thought exercise. It could uncover a few social issues I’ve wanted to discuss for a long time but didn’t know…

But the problem isn’t them. They‘re valid and good. I’m just tired and need to vent. — I attract them, but I find it extremely difficult to deal with them. I don’t dislike them, no, that’s not it — I just don’t GET them. It’s like we’re speaking entirely different languages. It takes mental effort to just be around them, and even a casual get together ends…

This is an article I wish I didn’t have to write. But here we go… — The above photo is entirely for aesthetic purposes. All of the photos used here are for aesthetic purposes (and to prevent you from getting bored when faced with a wall of text — my images are page breaks). I hope that’s clear.

I’m pretty sure you’ve met a few, regardless of what it is you believe and practise. — Recently, I learned a new term: Kerouac narcissist. When reading about it, I found it clever and useful.
