Life presents variables; learning how to cope in order to master, minimize, or tolerate what has come to pass.
Your Body Definitely Keeps The Score . Top Story - October 2025.
That is one massive (albeit alarming) statistic. No wonder why we can all feel a bit f*cked up, or the world certainly does, if our garden has been watered accordingly, and all of the relevant weeds have been pulled out - metaphorically speaking of course. The author of the book by the same title (The Body Keeps The Score), Bessel van der Kolk paves the way for a grounding, heavy, eye opening yet awesome read into the human psyche; and (of course) trauma plays a significant role. All of our not so positive thoughts and setbacks to teach us lesson after lesson are all the epitome of trauma. This is why life can feel like smooth sailing for a small percentage of people; while for the majority of us, life is blighted with issue after issue, all thanks to the subconscious. (And that includes all of those circumstances in the opening image of this article.)

When Love Ends Quietly
"The Day Everything Changed" I never thought it would end like this. No shouting. No slammed doors. No angry words thrown across the room. Just silence. Just an ordinary day that suddenly became the day when everything shifted, when the love I thought would last forever quietly came to a close.

What lives in the Spaces
Sylvie understood she was in her childhood kitchen without seeing a single tile or cabinet. The knowledge sat heavy in her chest—the weight of recognition without image. She could feel the warmth radiating from where the afternoon sun should be hitting the breakfast table, though no golden light painted her dream-vision. Then, like a camera suddenly focusing, fragments began to appear—a flash of yellow curtains swaying in peripheral vision, the gleam of chrome on the old refrigerator handle catching light that shouldn't exist.
