You can honor David Lynch by wearing a mask in public.
He had to begin isolating at home because he has emphysema- a COVID infection would likely be fatal- and no one wears masks anymore.
Millions of others like him (including myself) were left behind when COVID measures were abandoned

when people ask me what marriage is really all about, i tell them this. essentially you live with a person and some point you watch top gun together. you then mutually agree that tom cruise's name is actually tom gun. from then on, both of you call him tom gun in every movie. and that's marriage

The ratio is so important in relationships.
"According to the Gottman Institute, a project by 2 academic psychologists to improve relationships, happy couples’ “magic ratio” of + to - interactions (a negative interaction being one involving critical, dismissive, or defensive behavior) is 5 to 1."

The stories you tell and the stories you seek can tell you about what you need. Do you seek comfort, or catharsis?

Literally how do you use this app 😂😭 I have no idea how to go about finding other accounts to follow that center around abuse, trauma, and recovery. Searching those words just gives me dozens of posts where people say "nature is healing." Pls help
