Know thyself or others will know you

The ancients knew the importance of self-knowledge. Some 2,500 years ago, the phrase “Know thyself” was inscribed on the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, ancient Greece. Sadly, humans have not spent mille…

Slipping away piece by piece

One of the last texts he sent me a few months ago read “miss you girl”. I smiled as I am long past my girly days, but in the palaces of his mind I was still the 20 something girl that once loved him.…
