“Guard your mindset… When the world shakes, your spirit can remain steady. When the world feels heavy with noise, headlines, and tension, it’s easy to let our spirit get pulled into the chaos. There are times that darkness seeks space in your mind… and even though you don’t invite it in… Sometimes it demands entry. When times get like this, it’s so important to do what we can to keep the outside circumstances from creating inside chaos. Your inner state… your spirit… is not meant to be tossed around by every storm. Peace of mind is an anchor… and you can choose to set it firmly, even when the winds outside howl. Gratitude, perspective, and kindness are like vitamins for the spirit. They strengthen your mindset, guard your energy, and keep you steady when the world feels shaky. Remember, when it comes to positivity, we don’t have to lie to ourselves that life is all sunshine and rainbows… Staying uplifted doesn’t mean ignoring reality… it means facing it with clarity instead of fear, with courage instead of despair, and with compassion instead of bitterness. Although difficult at times, strength is a path we consciously choose. So, guard your mindset… Nourish your soul… Be intentional about what you consume. Please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Whether it’s news, conversations, social media, the company you keep, and even your own thoughts… Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Don’t give up! Don’t give in!”

There was a correct combination of movements---button mashes, joystick pivots, keystrokes, commands---that made the whole thing work or not work. There was a pleasure to knowing you had played the game correctly and a release that came when you reached the next level. To be good at sex was to be good at the game of sex.”

“We both preferred me on top and I wondered if that said anything about our dynamic. I felt all your copulative leanings were meant to reveal something deep about you, and if they didn’t you had an uncompelling mind.”

“They lie side by side under the quilt. He’s aware he could have sex with her now if he wanted to. She wouldn’t tell anyone. He finds it strangely comforting, and allows himself to think about what it would be like. Hey, he would say quietly. Lie on your back, okay? And she would just obediently lie on her back. So many things pass secretly between people anyway. What kind of person would he be if it happened now? Someone very different? Or exactly the same person, himself, with no difference at all.”
