…how not to treat the self…
*E.E.
35 and more pounds later
the hole inside still refuses to cease fire
and it will not at all relent
unless one ceases to insist
…
in protest the body lets go
its frame already chronically ailed
no longer able to bear well the pain
*E.E: Emotional Eater (an abbreviation self-coined after the A.A. model)
For some, it is the alcohol; for others, food. Overusing it, that is. To numb acute sensations. Or to lessen the inborn high sensitivity of emotions when reacting to life. Bluntly put: being self-destructive. Due to the inability to accept rejection by an other [sic]. Or by one’s self.

Love is not a decision…
Thank you for the reminder Laura Lee, my dear Facebook friend! With your Jack Kerouac quote below, that is…
“My fault, my failure, is not in the passions I have, but in my lack of control of them.” ~ Jack Kerouac
