True Power Uplifts; Narcissists Abuse It
Framing the Narrative is a Manipulation Tool Luckily, my DNA shows that I'm less susceptible to framing. I agree, as I tend to see through manipulative people and have taken big risks calling them out. Whenever I do, I've usually been portrayed as the alleged abuser, especially by those determined to win at any cost, and lack morals. I don't know how common this trait is , to question someone's motives and/or not accept what could be manipulative harmful behavior. I tend to spot dishonesty and dislike dealing with dishonest people, such as those who deliberately lie, deceive, manipulate, troll, etc. They do things under the guise of something else, and their agenda is one-sided. Such people shut down any diverse discourse that differs from the narrative and operates in a way that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy, to prove they are right. It's like karma and they attract what they give out, which is toxicity.

In My Life. Content Warning.
We have been asked to "Share a transformative moment from your mental or emotional journey" and to be honest, I have had several in my life, so I will share a few that have happened to me and either changed my beliefs or strengthened them. As time passes, we should learn from things and use them to help ourselves move forward.

Change is a Part of Life
In the Sonapur village, the old mango tree was casting a shadow as the sun set. The slender dirt road where Rohan used to play was bathed in golden light. Now, years later, he was returning after a long time, a stranger to the place he once called home.

What is Anosognosia?
Anosognosia is a term in the mental health field derived from several Greek root words meaning “not or without”, “disease”, and “knowing”. Simply put, anosognosia is the phenomenon of not knowing that you have an ailment or disease. In the realm of mental illness, this is a common occurrence with many persons experiencing mental illness, as they can sometimes seem blissfully unaware of their symptoms. Sometimes, family members might label persons with anosognosia as being “in denial” that they have a mental illness. This refusal to accept a mental health diagnosis is often a harsh reality for many people. Families must cope with the fact that their loved ones may or may not ever get treatment or help for their symptoms, and those with mental illness feel frustrated that no one believes them or is on their side.

"LOST IN UNDERSTANDING IN TIME". Top Story - March 2025. Content Warning.
I created this video song story to talk a little about mental health and what happens when one divorces a narcissist. I thought I would create this out of memory of a friend I knew who was hurt deeply by her ex-husband. This situation occurs in many relationships. The older lady friend of mine reflects about her over 30 years ago. She is sad, but therapy and time she begins to heal from her pain that she hid from people for many years.
