You know how I feel about you and Kat, honey. Sending all my love. Don't forget what we talked about. <3 You can scold me on my Russian, lol.

I pray that the surgery was successful. You're a person of great resilience. I realize you won't read this in time, you can't read the forum often due to sore eyes, I'm worried for you. Your eyes will be healthy.

Where you are, it always remind me of the opening line of the miniseries "Chernobyl" One of my favourite shows ever, I might add. But the line is from the guy who basically stopped the world dying in a nuclear holocaust. Valeri Lagasov. The first line in the show is "What is the cost of lies?"

And that's really the thing. You can lie about something to the point that you refuse to believe the truth. Not because you don't know it to be the truth, but because you WANT something to be a lie. That's why the USSR took so long during that whole Chernobyl thing to admit anything had even happened. They were like a goth 14 year old when their dad caught them on their phone at 4 o clock in the morning.
There's also a comparison between Ned Stark and Jaime Lannister. Ned was a man of honor, but because of that honor he hurt his wife, he made her think he cheated on her. Jaime broke his oath as a knight, became a despised oathbreaker, but that's how he did the Justice, saving the people of the capital when 200 people just stood by and watched as the Mad King wanted to burn thousands of innocents. Sometimes goodness isn't white and fluffy with wings.

The photo is so clear and realistic that I instinctively lean over to the monitor to smell that rose. It helps a lot psychologically.

We are alive. Nothing helps to get rid of panic like a simple walk in the fresh air.

Imagine that you no longer need to choose a fate, everything is already written for you in a document starting from your birth. Would you be happy? Have you ever thought that the theory of determinism might be true? A chain of multiple events starting with the big bang led you to where you are now. You wouldn't buy ice cream on the street if it wasn't hot outside and if you didn't like sweets. Events can happen in the only possible scenario. We need to understand how personal responsibility, free will and determinism can exist together at the same time. David Hume argued that one doesn't interfere with the other, he said that freedom doesn't give us a choice, for example, my daughter can pick any toy out of a thousand, and she will choose her favorite toy based on her tastes, there can be no other options. And if I pick out a toy for her by myself and she gets cranky, taking another toy to spite me, it's predetermined by her rebellious nature, to contradict everything. We have no choice, but we have a freedom. Socrates' worldview was consonant with Christianity long before the birth of Jesus, Socrates believed that earthly life and the body is a source of suffering, and the immortal soul, the main source of human power awaits another better world, a man was born a Christian without even realizing it. Sartre said the human was condemned to freedom because sometimes it feels like a curse instead of a gift. At first glance, the choice is wonderful but finding yourself, making a choice after years of searching is a heavy burden and there's a risk of never finding yourself at all. Neo, in the original trilogy, was cruelly mistaken, the whole world was the Matrix, and he was destined to save humanity only in one possible way. And now we come smoothly to the topic of transgender people. All transgender people have only one possible path too. Someone wastes precious time suppressing her/his true essence, thinking that she/he has a choice, two or more paths, the prison of freedom, it can be ending by suicide, I'm horrified by the death statistics. I am now convinced that gender can be determined earlier, based on medical and psychological predispositions, I've had experience. They'll all come to it anyway or later, so better sooner than later. That is why I am here, you may consider it a manifesto, I believe that in all countries there should be a clear state system for determining the gender of the person based on the conclusions of certified prisologists, doctors in harmony with the decision of the person herself/himself, which will always be just a formality. It will save many lives and let people not dream but live in harmony with themselves.

Some are celebrating Halloween, and I'm counting the hours until the Winter comes. It's like waiting for an old friend, you shower, do your makeup, get a good hairstyle, paint your nails and wait. Maybe it's strange. As a kid, I loved to sit on the roofs of high-rise buildings. It helped me to forget, not to think about people, they were just spots somewhere far away. Now, it's like I sit on the roof all the time, in terms of getting away from people, because I feel danger from them.

The uniqueness of the individual and the immortality of the soul.
Why are animals not unique? Our pets are unique, but they got that uniqueness from us. All animals are embodiments of a common natural soul, yes, an animal has a soul that reveals itself, expresses itself, we see that the animal has self-awareness, but how is all this different from a human being? Unlike an animal human being realizes his or her potential, unrealized possibilities, this very fact indicates that the root of the human self is much deeper. The animal doesn't worry about self-actualization, an animal doesn't have to worry about growing in spirit, it lives what it is, it is what it is. Human being, on the other hand, realize that he/she are so much more than than he/she is right now, a human being has abilities, potential, possibilities, so a human makes plans and sets goals. An animal is not self-determined, it just grows within certain limits set by nature. The self-determination of the individual takes place in the spiritual realm; it involves knowledge of the good, what is good and what is bad. An animal itself cannot do good or bad, only if a person does not teach the animal that for example taking food without permission or tearing stuff is bad, then the animal can feel guilt but an animal can't set boundaries for itself. In humans, this boundaries are set by God, society does not set these boundaries, but only comprehends them, sometimes in a false way, and there's so much suffering because of it. The metaphor of personality as a rider on the horse: the rider is the mind and the horse is the animated body, the ability of the rider to control the horse as an assumption that the rider is independent from the body and mental state, the human being unlike animals is capable of self-restraint and thoughtful suicide, the suicide decision come from an unchanging, immortal part of the personality to the changeable part. The horse can die, but the rider can't, only an immortal "myself" has the courage to say "I'm going to die".

Write me down somewhere
As a mark on the glass
Make me a note
Of your long day
I'll be a message on the table
And maybe it says goodbye
Write me down in your notebook
It's not difficult for me
To be a record on a white sheet

We are happy together, I don't know to whom I am addressing, maybe to the void, but nevertheless, don't hurt us, don't separate us, all we want is to live and enjoy life. Don't hurt us...

You and me both. The cold and dark are like old friends. I hate the sun because it hates me lol. The beauty of a silent vista on a moonlight night, is breathtaking. It's not strange, Whisper. Knowing what I know about you and your little girl. The things you've been through. The dark... makes you feel out of time. Makes the world feel at a standstill. Like you're the only person alive, embracing the silver light of the moon. It's enchanting. :)

Hey, everybody. I'm continuing to write after a long hiatus. It is partly due to fatigue and compromised health, partly due to fear of Trump's new laws, because the site is US, now I realize that my fear were wrong.

So much has happened in this time and I am so mentally exhausted that I don't know where to start. Our situation...is very difficult and troubling.

But now I want to reminisce about the beautiful past. It's February 3 2003, me, a young emo goth, going to a rave party. T.A.T.u. just released an album called "Not Gonna Get Us". The band consists of two girls who are both positioning themselves as open lesbians. There's a song on their album called "A gay boy". Are you interested of the public's reaction? General popularity, adoration. No sanctions, no condemnation, no hatred. We have the meme give me back my noughties where my emo subculture and Blazer drinks are. Things were different in those days, in those days I had hope for the future, now everything has turned to dust, I have lost my home and my future is wandering the world which has started to change for the worse.

Welcome back, Whisper.

We have been wondering how you have been. Times are difficult for many of us.

Do you have resources available that can help you stay safe? There are international organizations that might be able to help. Befrienders.org is one. https://befrienders.org/

They may not be local to you, but perhaps they can refer you to someone more accessible.

I remember t.A.T.u, they were big in the UK. For this song. It was huge here.



Everything goes in cycles, Whisper. It won't be like this forever. Only until people get tired of being stepped on.

I am sorry that things have not gone well and that you are without a home.  I know that you are doing everything you can to keep your child safe and healthy.  Please do everything you can to keep yourself safe and healthy too, so that you can have a happy home together when the storms have passed.  God bless you both.

There have been severe temperature spikes lately, from minus 36 Celsius at night to zero. Spring has already arrived in the southern regions, while we are promised a couple more cold days.

My old childhood toy and an old printed poetry book, two of my most treasured relics from the past.

Thank you, Lori. But it doesn't help me. I've already consulted a lawyer. The only thing I need is a knowledge of the language, in all EU countries I need a good, if not perfect, knowledge of the local language to find a job and make a decent living. There are more specialized sites for learning a language.

I've lost my home since the war started. Even then it was clear that there was no future here. We couldn't get out yet, you know it's almost useless to go against the state, it's a soulless machine that will digest a person like a chip in a millstone. Keeping mentally healthy helps me a lot with contemplating nature and drawing. Beautiful things heal the soul. So, dear ladies, we're fight.

Watching overly emotional people we think it will never affect us, but suddenly in certain moments of solitude our feelings behave like an infallible teenager, and some stuff from the past can be a start. Hugs to everyone who knows this feeling.

Marcel Proust was a wild misanthrope. He avoided all communication with people, left the house only at night, in his room where he created no one ever entered during his life. When he was gone, a stack of schoolbooks was found in his room, Marcel Proust died on his desk after putting the last dot in his multi-volume novel "In Search of Lost Time". Did Marcel Proust experience loneliness in his solitude? He was communicating with humanity, with potential readers. It is a pity that his contemporaries did not fully understand the meaning of his novel, while we understand it better and better. Robinson Crusoe was not alone on a deserted island, and he also communicated, because he worked with cultural objects, he recreated culture in his small world and thanks to this he survived. It is not necessary to have a flesh and blood person around to communicate. Having realized and felt this, I now understand the meaning of "remember, I am always with you" better....

When my repressed emotions arise in solitude, I take the time to sit with them, process, and try to understand their roots. This approach helps with the discomfort for me.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you cope?

I haven't heard of this writer before, but it sounds like a good read. I'll look into it, thanks for sharing!

This reminds me of Wilson, the volleyball from Cast Away. He becomes Tom Hanks' sole companion during his isolation on the deserted island. It's interesting how Wilson represents not only his sanity but also his growing need for connection and communication.

I also have my own objects and plants that I talk to in solitude. 😊

Hah... this phrase 'remember, I am always with you' holds deep spiritual and religious significance across various traditions. I personally find comfort in the Christian framework and concepts, especially when connecting with my imaginary friends.

What are your spiritual practices, if you don't mind sharing?
