Health & Fitness > Bipolar Disorder Bipolar disorder: Illness or excuse?: 1 of 85

Bipolar Disorder is a very real and threatening illness, which needs to be treated as a long term disorder in order to manage it effectively throughout a persons life. How do I know this? Years ago my brother in law was diagnosed as having Manic Depressive Illness, otherwise known as Bipolar Disorder. It was described to us ...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Humanity: 3 of 169

As you walk through See the strained faces See the lines and wrinkles See their haunted places Slow down a pace Notice the water splashing Tracks of slime run on their face Wonder how it will end The crawling maggots of hate The vile fruits of youth Blending into a putrid mass A cauldron of untruth Walk a little faster Try t...
Relationships & Family > Dating Dilemmas & Advice How to gracefully end a bad blind date: 1 of 39

'My friends cousins son wants to meet you, I said I'd set it up' Sentences such as this one usually send most sane people running screaming in the opposite direction, or for the braver ones at least a raised eyebrow. This is because we tend to have pre-conceived ideas about the dreaded Big Blind Date. In particular bad cases...
Creative Writing > Short Stories Short stories: A cat's perspective on life: 10 of 59

I wake up with a start. I'm not sure why but then I realize that the next door neighbors white fluff ball is scratching on the glass door. It sees me and starts yapping. Just perfect.

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Thoughts: 130 of 275

The frailness of your thoughts are blinking in the bright sunlight. Blinded. Unsure of what to expect. There are humans in front of you and their eyes are floating balloons... Red ones, blue ones, grey ones As they get nearer, you reach out one hand and pop them with the tip of your ballpoint pen. The shutters that were open...
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: On love: 705 of 1171

The dimensions of the skies, they are luminous; uncut For it to work nothing can stop what the passion declares fruitful, but is it? It's possible, the times of the hanging gliders can confuse the motions within your head, tumble your heart until it is crispy and tender. Breakable.
