Read MoreTo outgrow any weakness, we have to first feel the pain and the embarrassment it brings. We remember how it feels and we replay those awful images and we learn to coexist with nightmares.

There’s definitely a lot of truth in this, but also everything in moderation. Becoming fixated on things won’t make you better, just neurotic.

Nice writing Daniel.
Thinking is the root cause of all our suffering…. we can’t stop thinking but we can stop long enough to watch the mind.

You must be Scottish to use a word like ‘snool’.

Haha, by ancestors only, but my soul feels like it should have been born there. How can you miss a place you’ve never been too…..

I found this so relatable. It was one of my former employers least favorite things about me, but I’d rather be a thorn in someone’s side than someone I can’t stand.

Some people take things too far and are so controlling.

Read MoreMy eyes open, to the imagined. My eyes closed, to the real. My ears open, to hallucinations. My ears closed, to your voice. My mouth open, to ramblings. My mouth closed, to anything sensical. My hand open, once to yours. My hand closed, now to yours.

Das ist ein sehr schönes Gedicht, Daniel! Ich kann mich absolut damit identifizieren.
The use of opposites is the perfect stylistic device to underline the fact that in our dreams and illusions we are most alive! Brilliant!
