Amor and Psyche

One of my older works and one of my favorites... Cupid and Psyche

Am I becoming a cynic?

I recently heard someone say "kindness is the lowest form of manipulation." A younger me would have balked at such a claim. Current me sees the truth in it. What the hell is this world doing to my psyche? (edited)

Embrace one's Psyche as a Whole.

How far gone is the dating pool?

What's the psyche behind casual dating and hookup culture? I can't comprehend not emotionally connecting with someone and just doing stuff with no strings attached or is it just me?

Trauma born empath loner

Someone finally put a label to who/what I am inside, in my mind. Why I drain so fast when socially interacting. Why relationships feel so difficult and emotionally charged. Why being alone feels like the only safe space. After a long conversation he said, "these are functions of the psyche not the… read more

Thoughts/feelings?

Carl Jung put a lot of work into figuring out the human psyche and I don't think he gets enough credit. How do you feel about sharing your consciousness with others if you believe Jung? I believe the ego and shadow are fixed aspects of the human psyche and it's a battle every day to remain sane and… read more

I’m not chasing this person. I’m actually chasing the ending I never got

Ever wonder why some of us seem drawn to the awful people/situations over and over? The emotionally unavailable partner. The situationship that never becomes a relationship. The events that make us feel intensely alive but ultimately leave us hurting. According to Beyond the Pleasure Principle… read more

A man will keep a woman orbiting him, not because he's choosing her, but because she makes the empty space inside him feel slightly less humiliating. You want the truth? Most men don't even choose the women they end up with. They drift into them like debris floating into a gutter. But the ones they… (edited) read more

This will never end 'cause I want more. More, give me more - give me more

The unconscious mind sees familiarity as safety, even when that familiarity is actively toxic. My early landscape was defined by that which created trauma. The ego became conditioned to seek out those exact unhealthy dynamics in future relationships. It created a horrific paradox: where the… read more

Integrity of bio and psyche elctrochemical channels

IMO, the existence of malignant archetypes that develop post birth in humans serves as a warning that the loss of internal structural integrity on any or all levels, may lead to a state of permanent, violent predatory hunger and the erasure of the humane "Self" of which humans are idealized for… read more

Hope

Why does the universe send me this fleeting sense of hope The angel that showed the future was a demon hiding behind a cloak Awoke soaked in safety only to reveal a cruel cosmic joke Out of my control even my bones feel alone the day is done I'm broken If it were only spoken about I know this too… read more

Would someone nerf Hazard in Stadium already?!

If there’s anything more broken than him, it’s my psyche from dealing with him nearly every game.

Maha Sohona, a symbol of death, terror, reverence and absolute strength.

Maha Sohona, meaning "The Great Demon of the Graveyard" is a highly feared and venerated demon in Sri Lankan folklore, representing the terrifying power of the afterlife, graveyard spirits and vengeance. Often depicted as a giant, muscular humanoid with a head of a bear, this entity haunts places… (edited) read more

Lovers who loved before

Would you do anything for love? Like bite an apple Of sin and sonnets? (Adam and Eve) Would you do anything for love? Like look back, When they told you not to? (Orpheus and Eurydice) Would you do anything for love? Like die from a height, For your enemies life? (Sherlock and… read more

Raccoonism

Looking for scraps of inspiration, I run along my trashy brain and dig out- Something worth writing for, Guess that makes me a scavenger. I'm a raccoon, Who loves to dig, My brain out to look at my psyche, And what I find is something I wish I didn't. But it satisfies the hunger in me, Am I… read more

When with the right person : healing day after day (as part of "building together the harmony")

Some are sometimes claiming: "I don't need someone to heal me !". As to say they do not need to see a mentalhealth professional. But, that's not the way to see it. That's not the question. Let me explain : Everyday's life is full of experiments. None shall say he never hurt himself,… read more

Any witty woman?

This is almost certainly a long shot, but here goes. I'm looking for a woman who sees astrology as something more than a cosmic weather app or a machine for predicting when she'll get married. Someone who suspects that astrology, at its deepest, is a symbolic language of the psychea way of… read more

Pinchbeck on Co-Creating Reality

"The universe is an emanation of mind. As human consciousness evolves in an accelerated spiral, we are being compelled to realize that our minds are manifesting reality to an ever-increasing extent- our collective shadow-projections of wasteful technologies, wars, and weaponry reflect subtler… read more

Where are the lover boys?

To the men that actually fall in love with their partner, how does it feel?What do you do? Like I'm trying to get behind the psyche of a man that is absolutely in love and that is of course if they exist.

Got hit on at a psychiatric hospital.

A pregnant woman around 10 years older than me decided to hit on me while in the psyche hospital, I’m not sure I’ll ever know how to respond to that.

Knowing Helps

I posted this in Asperger's but I think it applies to most neurodivergent people so here it is again: I'm 43 and have always known I thought differently than most people but didn't know why. Last year, my mom confirmed that "they (my family) always knew" I was autistic but just never told me. Why?… read more

Knowing Helps...

I'm 43 and have always known I thought differently than most people but didn't know why. Last year, my mom confirmed that "they (my family) always knew" I was autistic but just never told me. Why? Because it wasn't a big deal and I didn't need to know. She had me tested and I was reading at a… (edited) read more

Study of the Soul 💫

The word Psychology comes from Greek: • ψυχή (psyche) = soul, spirit, or breath of life • λόγος (logos) = study, account, or reason So, psychology literally means: “the study of the soul.”

Any myth

What are people's favourite myths? They can be Greco-Roman, Norse, or anything you like. Mine is the myth of Cupid and Psyche.

Wee Psyche :)

🫶🏻If you have a man like this cherish him! Don’t lose him! He’s a gem 💎❤️

@Psyche

Are black holes language? Rephrased.

I laughed at the rebounding from the original question. People were right, it was phrased poorly. So let me try again. okay so people are giving me flak for the poorly phrased question, and so it was. (Sorry, sleep deprived brain) So, are black holes language? Ive sat and I thought on it. Its… (edited) read more

Gentleman vs. Gentle Dom

Gentle Dom vs. Gentleman From an outside perspective, these two titles seem to go hand in hand. But from someone who has been raised from birth to be one, and known from his teens that he was the other, I can tell you that they are nowhere near the same. And if you try to retain being a gentleman… read more

Missing these kinds of sunsets.

The clouds look like the golden fleece that Psyche collected.

Psyche disorders

In his personal point of view that we are so aware of what is a psychiatric pathology. Do you think it should spread more? Do you think there was any change in the cup of suicides if our culture included those issues as part of our academic training in general?

The Artist

Old poem... Wrote this when I was 18, but was going through my poetry archives this weekend and felt like sharing. I do not fear the aging for its wrinkles, but its rot. For internal dissolution with no fixes to be bought. As the mind continues burning, but the bones are turning ash, lines… read more

You don’t have to choose between good things in life

A lot of people have this scarcity mindset that you can only have one between two or three great things. For example, money or love But what if we change the statement. Money AND love. It is POSSIBLE and has been proven many times over. It’s the same with other things. You don’t have to sacrifice… read more

Mythical Love

What love story from Mythology moved you the most? For me it was Cupid and Psyche, the way Cupid never stopped loving her and the way she would do anything and everything just for the chance to see him again and prove her love 🥺❤️

Vulnerability Male vs Female

Just a trend I've noticed in my several years on the planet as a male... women can seemingly just up and dump all their emotional issues into any willing (and often unwilling) Male psyche at any time and more often than not recieve the support, sympathy and attentive ear they need. Men, despite… (edited) read more

Afraid of relationships

Frequently, unsuccessful relationships cause FEAR of getting into a new one. So, life goes on and you meet interesting people, but you don't dare... The most important thing to understand is that NO ONE can EVER guarantee that a new relationship will be perfect. Moreover, any relationship, even… read more

I'm a simple gal

Looking for good conversation while we perhaps nerd out over shared fandoms/interests. Maybe an uncomfy topic or two as we peruse the depths of each other's psyche. What makes you tick and what more do you want from life?
