We teach sex, not love. No one teaches teens how to choose a partner, build harmony, or keep intimacy alive. What if public schools invited real psychologist‑sexologists to teach this? Would fewer marriages fall apart? What do you think?

Ever ask for something gentle — and get dismissed?
You mention herbs or aromatherapy, and they offer pills.
I’ve written about anger, hope, and the search for gentler paths.

I used to let thoughts like “I’m not enough” or “I always mess things up” run wild.
Now I pause.
🌿 I breathe in.
🌬 Name the thought.
✍️ Reframe it kindly.
Inhale lavender or orange.
Just one breath, one new truth at a time.
It’s a quiet practice, but a powerful one.
Now I pause.
