    Kitchen Flirtations

    Its very sweet how you and your wife enjoy your relationship. I do think that in some ways talking about relationships can be exclusionary to those who are not in relationships, are just out of one, or never ever been in one. I sense the danger of it when I want to talk about it all the time...

    What would you want you and your future spouse's song to be?

    What do you share?

    I don't like to share space and personal toiletries with strangers. I have no problem with my friends and family using my things. I don't mind sharing my food but doing it with my boyfriend is actually an enjoyable activity. Its probably sappy but I like feeding him. We have a favorite spot...

    Allowing others to make a decision over you

    I think it really depends on the seriousness of the relationship and what the decision itself involves. Personally, I like it when my boyfriend plans our activities. He picks the restaurant or the movie or any other fun event (symphony, parks, concerts) etc. However there is always choice...

    The Precipice of Choice

    Recently, I got in touch with someone who never really lost sight of me. Our friendship has spanned 7 years and I always knew he liked me but I just didn't know if I wanted to like him as well. I still don't. As we have reconnected, there have been things that he has said and shared that make...

    An Antagonist

    Do not give excuses or mask Your actions as good intentions It is plain to see you bask You glory in the attention The more you tried to crush My spirit rose up against you Your words I simply brush Mere nothing but defeat to you Do not wake a sleeping lion A phoenix is born in a...

    Just because you like the same music, it doesn't mean you should be together

    When I was younger, 19-20, I liked men for the conversation they could hold with me. If they seemed knowledgeable about the topic at hand, it seemed to imply there was an underlying cause for it which indicated similarity. At some point, when rationality kicked in, I knew there was nothing in...

    Is it really real?

    It seems like a classic fairy-tale. You come across someone online whose writing resonates with you like no another. It’s like reading something written from a piece of your own soul. He likes Jane Eyre and reads the obscure poems you write. He is clearly Mr Darcy caught in the modern era...

    Seasons

    You told me as the leaves grew It was the start of something new Eager starry eyes full of dreams The world was waiting, it seems Summer blessings were mine This was my time to shine In hope, I waited for redemption But now I want a conversation I am a child waiting after school Did you forget...

    Heavy

    Of all the things that weigh my soul down To despair and wonder, to cry and frown With the end of one, there is yet another But when I look back as I get further As I cross through life, season by season I do not feel prepared to seemingly ease in But what looked insurmountable and heavy Now...

    At The Edge of the Cliff

    After everything, I felt I was at the edge of the cliff. Higher than I had ever been, but the fall would be devastating. There was this rush of emotion – of anger, despair and grief. I cried out, “Even my earthly father would never allow me to be at this point. You have brought me to the very...

    The Social Structure of our Networks

    Here’s an exercise. Think about all the people that you talk to/correspond within the last 2 months and with repetitive frequency. How similar are they to you? Do they share the same profession, have the same interests and how well do they get along with your personality quirks? These...

    Division of Labor in Relationships

    “Few tasks are more like the torture of Sisyphus than housework, with its endless repetition: the clean becomes soiled, the soiled is made clean, over and over, day after day.” —Simone de Beauvoir I have to say I never minded keeping my house clean. I like doing my own work for myself...

    Our Parents: Now that I look back

    When I was very young, around 3-4 years old, I had a great aunt who would indoctrinate me about Christianity. She would tell me how everything else was false and she really fired me up for God. I was always in love with God so I appreciated the time I spent with my great aunt. Anyway, at...

    The Gospel and the LGBTQ+ Community

    *** We had an intercession class at church about the LGBTQ+ community and how to address the issues that Christians might come across as they deal with them. I am making this thread here to share notes and hopefully facilitate ideas that could be exchanged to enable us to be more compassionate...
