Abuse
Would you be able to recognize the signs if you were in an abusive relationship? It’s sad but I know one too many people who are in some form of an abusive relationship and most of them do not recognize it. Sufferers of long-term abuse often even sympathize with their abuser. In extreme cases, they […]

Sometimes when it’s been a while since you’ve seen someone, it’s easier to notice how he or she is different from before. But I never thought that returning to a familiar place after 9 months would help me notice how much I have changed since I left. I had been ready to leave Toronto last […]

The way I am
I don’t love or hate by halves. ‘All or nothing’ is my default mode. I am sometimes frightened by the intensity of my own emotions. I like being around people, but I am fiercely jealous of my time alone which calms, relaxes and centers me. Ever since I can remember, I’ve liked to talk. And […]
