Love around to me

I realized as I was reflecting on my own disillusionment with dating and plutonic relationships that I always felt safer in one that was non-committal and never trusted consistency in another, but both were lies that told me to keep searching for the perfect "one". It wasn’t until I heard a message that explained one …

Parenting patterns will play out

Where do we think patterns that play out in society come from? The home. Yup, I just said that. To the degree of illogical treatment toward each other in the family of origin is the degree in which it repeats itself in the world we create outside of it. Heal your childhood and you will …
