The Mirror
Dear Mom, This is supposed to be a confession, but it is also to be written in the form of a letter, so there are certain rules that I need to follow. Usually, I begin all of my letters to you discussing my state of mind, and then I fill in the heart of it with what I have done with my life since my last letter (or, more often, phone call). Those messages can get repetitive and dull and I have no interest in repeating myself.

What is a Heyoka Empath?
First, I have to explain that many people have heard of the word empathy and from that quite a few have heard empathic and even empath, but I think that very few people realize there are several types of empaths and one is considered to be one of the strongest.

The Crack that lets the Light In
Just as believers don't need evidence to believe, atheists don't need a reason for not believing. However, in my eighty years I've come to the following understanding.

Why the Male Gender Is the Worst, and How It’s Not Even Close
The male gender is the worse, more violent, and less balanced of the two traditional male and female genders. It’s not even close.

Violence
Memories come flooding back to me in flashes. They transport me back over thirty years. I was a young lad at the time, a newbie to a rough and dangerous area. My parents, who were middle-class and bold to a fault, had decided to go there when my father received a federal government editing position. They'd signed a lease on a low-rent brick house that was likewise run-down, filthy, and strewn with garbage. Previous inhabitants were pigs who got along with bugs and rodents, to say the least.

"I'm okay."
CW:// open and frank discussion about anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, self-harm and suicide. Lies. People tell them all the time. Sometimes it's to stay out of trouble. Sometimes it's to get what they want. Sometimes they don't even know why they've lied.

You were never a real person.
Time and educating myself... that is what made me see the illusion. That is what actually saved me from the traumatic experience that was our fake relationship.

What I thought was right
Having to drift through childhood with little care being given, little food provided and knowledge shared. Having to strike poses that please angry others in your teen years just to survive the winter within the alcoholic loveless households

May is For…. Top Story - April 2022.
There are so many May Awareness initiatives it can be a bit cumbersome for sure. There are of course graduation goals, Mother’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, and Mental Health Awareness; just to name a few. I look to May for signifying Mental Health Awareness because it is so near and dear to my heart. I have and still am learning how to ‘deal’ with issues of my own. Through guidance and advise from others I know I will prevail; however, I worry about others too. Mainly, I am concerned about some I work with. I really think this is because we see our ‘work family’ more than we see our ‘bio’ family; so, we get to know their mannerisms very well.

Concept of 'Gender Ideology'
Discrimination against women The basis for discrimination against women lies in the division between the "public" and the "private" spheres. Equal treatment of women is still debated in the private sphere, where biological roles such as motherhood and childbirth remain the prime determinants of identity and role in society. Despite the fact that women now have more freedom and opportunities than ever before, gender ideology still privileges men over women in the realm of work, family, and marriage. Despite the recent ruling by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, this view is still prevalent in the private arena. Other practices of women in this mindset include domestic violence, incest, and marital rape, which remain considered private matters.
