She hadn’t always been a large person. In her youth, she’d won trophies in the discus throw, long jump, badminton, and table tennis.

She especially loves to wander around the house and make her literal mark on non-paper items. One day, she happily scribbled all over the top of my Macbook Pro. I was going to wipe it off with a magic eraser (those things really are magic), but I think I’m going to leave it, instead. It serves as a memory for me, as a reminder that she really did live here with us and it wasn’t some sort of strange, surreal dream....
And the thing is, if you hear something enough you’ll believe it. You not only believe it, you understand it. It makes sense to you that someone wouldn’t want you because they don’t. Why would they?

Patients in rural areas often experience problems with that — there may be few options, and they may come with waiting lists or steep co-pays. It’s hard for anyone, anywhere, to find quality mental healthcare. Accessing those resources becomes exponentially harder for those who are low-income, uninsured, or underinsured. Even finding providers who take Medicare or work on a sliding scale narrows options considerably, often forcing patients to see providers who are less equipped to treat them....
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that sentence, I’d be rich. And it is a sentence, not just grammatically speaking, but those words sentence the speaker and anyone who has a close relationship with him or her to a future in which substantive life changes are impossible. The problem with this sentence is that it’s not true. Another problem is that I used to not only believe this, but I was a primary perpetrator of what I now see as a widely accepted cultural myth....

The Quarter Moon in Libra is the Last Quarter Moon of 2021, and with it comes the last offering: Use this turning point to better your life. This lunation wanes; it’s almost over, and it’s giving us one last chance. Being that it falls in Libra, stability and balance are its main features.

One way to do that is by asking each other serious questions, based on his zodiac sign.

While it does take time for any type of relationship to bloom, it shouldn’t be the only factor that determines its overall longevity and success. In order to achieve a successful relationship, both partners should be equally committed and passionate in creating a strong bond.
