family

Family can be our support system. Or they can be part of the problem. All about the complicated, loving, and difficult relationship with us and the ones who love us.

So What's On the Other Side of an Anxiety Spiral?
It has been three weeks since I finished work. You would think I'd feel more relaxed, but the knots behind my shoulder blades persist, and the constant feeling that I should be doing something remains. I have never been good at relaxing.

When The Dead Come Seeking Life
How Long Have You Been Dead? Most of the people I meet today are Dead. Usually, they Do Not even Know it. Sometimes, they have been Dead their Entire Lives without Realizing It.

Through the Window of Wonder
A Child’s View of the World The sun was barely peeking over the rooftops when Lily, age five, pressed her nose against the cold glass of her bedroom window. Her breath fogged the pane in little clouds, and she traced circles into the mist with her finger. Outside, the world stirred to life—birds called softly from the trees, a mailman in a bright blue jacket walked by, and the neighbor’s cat perched on a fencepost like a tiny lion surveying its kingdom.

It was quiet. Too quiet. There was something about the silence that felt... strange, like it didn’t belong. The shadows seemed to stretch longer than they should have, creeping across the floor in ways that didn’t make sense.

Shadows of Obsession
The Beginning of Darkness Eva was always unique, a girl whose thoughts teetered on the brink of reality and madness. Born beneath a tempestuous sky, she entered the world silently, her initial cries overshadowed by the roar of thunder. Her parents, weighed down by their own challenges, were unable to offer the affection she yearned for. Tragically, when she was merely an infant, a devastating car accident took their lives, leaving her without family. The state subsequently placed her in a succession of foster homes, each more fleeting than the previous one. Although she yearned for love and security, Eva found comfort solely in her rich imagination—crafting realms filled with characters who cherished her. However, as she matured, her dreams took a darker turn, descending into obsession and paranoia.

When The Mind Trembles, the Body Breaks They say the body is a temple, but temples fall. Not because the stones grow weary, but because the foundation begins to crack — slowly, silently. And nowhere do those fractures begin more often than in the mind.

The psychology of love
'What is the real definition of love?' I was reading a definition somewhere in my school life that is - without considering good or bad, without feeling ashamed and disobedient to parents, and without going into the ocean, that is love.' The color of love changes based on the mind. Starting from human behavior and perspective, it changes. Since love is not bought and sold with the mind, why should psychologists be left out? Various psychologists have discovered various theories about love by falling into such a patch of love. Here I will share a theory of love of a psychologist with everyone. American psychologist, Professor of Cornell University Robert J. Sternberg's gave a three-dimensional theory of love in 1985, which is known as the Triangular theory of love. According to Stenberg, love in interpersonal relationships revolves around 3 dimensions.
