Recently I had dinner with a good friend and we talked about betrayals. I could feel the depth of how profoundly scarred we are by the very people we loved. Maybe we are cursed. We are damaged goods. Too damaged to be salvaged nor saved and even if we could be, I do not want…

GRATEFUL FOR LIFE
So today is my birthday and I am grateful for my life and everything I have. I know I am not supposed to wait till my birthday to be grateful for all the things I have, I should be grateful every day. I have decided to write a post on my birthday and on my…
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: RUMOURS
Personal experience is very important and most often the best way to get to know someone without the influence of others. There are so much rumours going on and if you are not discerning you will believe them and judge people based on what others say. I have made some really good friends with people…
FEELING LONELY IN THE CROWD
I should be happy because there a lot of people, drinks, food, laughter, smiling and fun but I feel lonely. I tried really hard to fit in and laugh with them but I still felt lonely. I stopped trying and went to sleep. They are not the kind of people I feel connected to. There…
THE “I CANNOT LEAVE” RELATIONSHIPS
I asked a married man why he cheats on his wife of 27 years and he said it is because he sees her like his sister. He did not say much but the expressions he used while talking to me were very sad and he looked very unhappy in his marriage. He said he does…
KITCHEN TABLE TALK: MOVING OUT OF HOME
Most of my friends and I are in our mid-twenties and one of the important things we discuss is moving out of home. We think we are adults and need our own space and privacy. We have reached the stage in life where living with your parents is not acceptable in society. You are expected…
CONVENIENT LIFE
I love convenience! I want to wake up every morning in my own warm bed, walk into my bathroom to take a bath and to my kitchen to make breakfast. I want to be able to go anywhere with the easiest form of transportation. Everything should be convenient. I cannot live poor and I will…
THINK FOR YOURSELF
I cannot deal with people who cannot think for themselves. Sometimes we ask for help with a decision but to make others think for you all the time is very disturbing and pathetic. We cannot be friends if someone told you to do so. I want us to be friends because you think we can…
FRIENDSHIP ON TEMPORARY LEAVE.
I cannot comprehend friends who assume I hate them because I hardly talk to them again. There are several reasons why I hardly communicate with some friends; lost their contacts, sick, going through difficulties or away on vacation. If I hate you, you will not be my friend. Communication is important, but it does not…
KITCHEN TABLE TALK; LESS FAMILY… LESS DRAMA
I have spoken to several people who prefer to be surrounded by less family members especially extended family members because they cause more trouble. Biologically related family members are the people we all did not choose before we were born to relate with. They are our relatives because we share the same ancestor. The older…
REVERSE ASSUMPTIONS
Some people can make you look desperate or evil most of the time. They never do the right thing and when you complain, you become the person who nags too much, the perfect one or you are just plain annoying. I always look like the bad guy in most situations because I complain or scold…
NO FAILURE AND UNNECESSARY COMPETITIONS
I hate failure and unnecessary competition. I absolutely hate it when things end and I have to start all over again, especially close relationships. After all the sacrifices I made and the inconveniences I endured, that relationship ends. There are some things I wish lasted forever, especially close relationships with some people. I hate losing…
