I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Some people build up walls around themselves. Others layer on a moat along with the wall. Others have no walls and no filters. A party filled with extreme people like can either be a complete disaster or a fun social psychology experiment. And, becomes it happens naturally you […]
This was it! The trip of a lifetime. Beauty. Awe. Tranquility. However, everything was far from tranquil. Her heart was in turmoil and her brain was muddled. Nothing made sense anymore. They had sat for an early dinner with their assigned dinner table mates. It was lovely getting […]
Today I am amused and bemused. Today I am settled and unsettled. Today I am bored and stressed out. The mind is numbed. Yet, emotions running wild and thoughts streaming away on their own. I’m a runaway freight train with no will to stop. I want to hide. […]
