Beyond the Relationship Script
We hear a lot about what people expect from a relationship. The standard script usually sounds like a checklist of requirements: someone to provide security, someone to take care of them, someone to fill a specific role or anchor them down against the world. While talking with a friend, I never… read more

Autonomy shifts
I think the classiest revenge in the world is never letting someone have access to you again.

Healthy Boundaries
When i was married, and even in ltr, i didn't have any boundaries, and i have seen how unhealthy that was for me. As I'm working on healing myself and building myself up (confidence, self esteem etc), i am also building up my confidence in my ability to not become codependent when i do fall in… read more

The War Between Freedom and Order
Imagine a war that survives the people who started it. Kings die. Empires fall. Governments change. New technologies reshape civilization. Yet two secret organizations continue to struggle over the same question: Should humanity be free to choose its own future, even if that freedom leads to… read more

Loss
In case anyone was curious as to my disinterest in a relationship? Well, here it is. It's a vent post too. I was in a nearly three year long relationship. The majority of which was long distance. We were opposites in lots of ways. She was very religious, I was not. She was celibate, I was not. She… read more

Submissions Denial
I am neither object nor possession, neither conquest nor fragile thing to be claimed. I am the force that moves through flesh like fire through the night—a body forged in autonomy, a mind shaped by defiance, a soul that craves not to be owned but understood, met in equal measure. Desire, in its… read more

Anyone else out there experience zero autonomy their whole childhood only to grow up and find out that hey, how you grew up actually sucked and how you turned out is due to the fact that your basic needs weren't met?
I had to send this to my step dad because my parents think that me living here rent-free means I don't get to have boundaries. Guess what, you don't get to treat me like a prisoner and at the same time demand respect... (edited)

Permission
I’m learning that autonomy isn’t isolation. It’s choosing myself without needing to explain why. There’s a quiet power in deciding what you give your time, energy, and heart to.

The Audacity of the First Message
I’m all for body autonomy and people chasing their desires, but the reasoning capacity of some individuals is terrifying. Imagine opening a chat ~ no "hello," no pleasantries ~ just a stranger offering to fund your life if you let them inflict pain and trample them underfoot. They couldn't even… read more

What is feminism
Feminism is a movement for gender equality, challenging systems that limit women’s rights, opportunities, and autonomy.

I want flowers too.
I want flowers too. I've been thinking lately about how much of heterosexual dating (I’m bi, but mostly prefer women) still seems built around an old script: men pursue, women are pursued. Men initiate. Men impress. Men create the romantic momentum. And I've realized how exhausting that script… read more

Love vs autonomy
I’ve been working on a fictional story about emotions and how they can be overwhelming or amazing. One of the plotlines i’m trying to address is the idea that if you don’t choose who you love, then does that mean all love violates autonomy? Or, maybe love is defined BY the choices we make, and not… read more

Educational system and it's controversy.
Very often I feel that I'm within a system that asks me to think but it highlights me how to do it. The one who dare to reinterpret is a threat because of challenging and this is not because of professors it's because of how the system is molded. At the very end of the day I have to reached out… read more

A stone that cannot be warmed is useless. Raising someone who cannot be tamed is ungrateful.
I recently heard this phrase "a stone that cannot be warmed is useless, raising someone who cannot be tamed is ungrateful". To me it sounded like a blend of some metaphorical wisdom from different traditions, though it is not some direct quotation from any canonical source. So I looked it from… read more

That's not love; that's complicity!
That sharp distinction separates genuine care from toxic enmeshment: love respects boundaries, fosters individual accountability, and encourages growth, whereas complicity covers up wrongdoing, enables harmful behavior under the guise of loyalty, and sacrifices integrity to keep the peace. Now let… read more

Smoking & Vaping In Common Areas
I want to open a calm but direct discussion. Why does it seem so difficult for smokers and vapers to be aware of the airspace they share with other human beings? Not in hostility. Not in accusation. In simple physics. Breath travels. Chemicals linger. Bodies react. Some people get headaches. Some… read more

Self-Aware 2s?
Okay, so I only recently discovered that I'm a type 2 in the Enneagram after years of not thinking it would be possible. The way I discovered it was through triads and a few hours of talking between my ESFP 8w7 friend who I've known for years. He helped me realize I am heavy in the Rejection Triad,… (edited) read more

"They don't want empathy from you, they want compliance and obedience from you."
That is the fundamental trap of transactional relationships: confusing submission with genuine connection. Empathy requires curiosity, vulnerability, and a willingness to understand someone's internal world. Compliance is simply modifying behavior to avoid conflict, penalty, or further… read more

The great alibi of the 'lesser evil'
Whenever in politics, someone particularly honest (Who more often than not happens to also be marxist) proclaims a coherent position, for example, against both nations in a war, someone inevitably shows up to say one of three things: 1.
