Have...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Captivation/569748In a moment of stillness I saw a place I loved. Reflection, letting and allowing words and thoughts to flow from my mind, heart, and soul to penetrate the blank page. People come to places such as this to heal. When needs are provided and no expectations are there, people heal and often they...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Captivation/568438Beginning relationships is so scary. Becoming vulnerable over and over again. In my relationship we have hit a point where we are staring each other in the face, waiting to budge further until the other one does. A Check-mate, if you will. I have been working on encouraging thoughts to carry us...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Captivation/568185Last month was awful. So I searched for hope.

If I was to draft a list of everything I want in a companion, it would describe him completely. Loving of mankind, appreciates the...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Captivation/567271Birthdays are strange. Some are like torrents of celebrating waves carrying you on and on for days and even weeks. Others trickle by with hardly a glance. This birthday has been door number two. Not a bad thing as had no expectation but it seems to have escaped everyone's mind. It is up to myself...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/Captivation/567067When did the human race decide harmful relationships were acceptable? Why do so many relationships distract us with difficulty? Unhappiness within us is what leads to such destruction. This damaging of hearts and souls around us.

For many years I lived my life programed as so many others do.
