How important is respect to you? To me, it’s the foundation of every relationship be it spouses, romantic partners, friends, siblings, parents or anything else.

Accepting is NOT defeat, it’s adding layers of intimacy with the universe or higher power and getting more acquainted with them.
-Kyle Higgins, Mental Health Counselor
Does acceptance of something that didn’t go your way a form of defeat?
This is something my counselor and I recently talked about in a grueling session. For new readers that may not know, I have clinical depression and have been seeing a counselor years.

“Have a good cry, wash out your heart. If you keep it inside it’ll tear you apart.”
-Sometimes You Win (1979) by Dr. Hook & the Medicine Show
Sometimes it’s discouraged, sometimes you’re pushed to let it out. But if you’re a male who grew up in the twentieth century, you were most likely told not to do it, especially in public.
I’m talking about crying.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside of you.”

-Unknown
Being sick sucks, right? It can put you in a depressing mood and everything, be it eating, talking or simply getting out of bed seems like a chore.

Yes, I’ve posted and reposted this article a few times. And I continue doing so periodically because I feel it’s crucial in building a relationship with all of you members and readers. And hence, here is that article to give YOU, the reader, your time under the spotlight:
“If someone seriously wants to be a part of your life, they will seriously make an effort to be in it.”
-Unknown
If you’re read my previous articles on this site, you’ll notice that one thing I always stress on is never giving up on anything that’s a passion and close to your heart no matter how many obstacles come in your way. But are there exceptions to that philosophy? Are there instances when giving up will actually be advantageous?
“The meaning of life is whatever you ascribe it to be. Being alive is the meaning.” -Joseph Campbell What’s the meaning and/or of life?
