- Some signs that you are in a toxic relationship!
One day we all wake up and realize that we are in a toxic relationship. Wanted to break up with that specific person and was not able to do that, having trouble “fixing” that person. Sometimes we make ourselves a second or even third plan in our lives and in that process, we are disappointed by our relationships. While these happen, we isolate ourselves from others (friends, family, etc.). Yes, I am talking...

On March 7, 2023, around 07:40 am, a full moon occurs at 16 degrees Virgo. Aries is rising in the map drawn according to the capital Washington DC. We are in a process where we make hasty decisions and hang on to fine details. The dominance of ego and arrogance seems to force us in our social life. 1 hour after the full moon, Saturn moves into Pisces and thus begins the 2.5-year Saturn Pisces course. On March 23, Pluto will enter Aquarius. March will be a slightly different month.
Two big planets changing signs in the same month means sowing the seeds of events that we...

Shoes, everywhere—
For the small and the large,
For summer suns and winter winds,
Boots that rise, boots that fall,
Sandals of rubber, slippers of leather.
For millions of souls,
For every pair of feet,
Walking...

This earth is dark,
Your eyes are dark,
I look off into the distance,
To the mountains, to the plains,
No matter how green they are,
You always emerge from beneath,
Like your coal-black eyes,
Dark, dark, dark...
One day it will cover me,
I will wrap myself in it,
My heart will find peace,
I think this life of mine will end,
But it will stubbornly begin again,
With the sunrise every day...
I am exiled to you,
Don't think I've been free since you left,
I may seem to wander from land to land,
But deep down I crawl, dragged through the dirt...

Take a moment to think about the last time you felt joy. Did you smile broadly, laugh out loud, or quietly savor the moment? The answer likely depends on where you are from. In Latin America or people with Latin cultures, emotions are often expressed openly. Joy is loud, grief is shared, and anger can be temperamental but fleeting. This openness comes from a collective culture, where emotional expression strengthens bonds. In contrast, in East Asia, emotions are more covered or more silent. Societies like Japan and China value harmony, often prioritizing emotional restraint to maintain social balance. A Japanese person might feel the same joy...

Venus Changes Signs
Dear readers, Venus is changing signs as of the second week of July. While this transit effect continues until the end of July; When Venus leaves behind its fixed and deeply bonding nature in Taurus and moves into Gemini, our understanding of love and value begin to be reshaped through mental mobility, curiosity and communication. This transition is like a wave of air that lightens our love language on a collective level and carries our relational contacts to the ground of speaking, writing, learning and sharing. Here, Venus is in love with words, not emotions. It attracts ideas more than looks, and seeks mental...

Yes, I am guilty.
I know something.
And I am brave enough not to confess what I know.
Yes, I am brave.
My essence will fill yours so completely
that your soul will ache,
your heart will sting—
You will burn.
Yes, I am afraid, still.
If you cannot conquer your fear, you are human.
And I am still human.
But you—?
At the wolves’ table,
you lost the last trace of humanity within you.
Then you wandered the nights too much
and darkened as much as they did.
You lay with vampires,
rose with them.
Yes, you drink blood.
Sunny days are far from you.
You have built a trap for yourself.
And the hope it once gave
is now a prison—
Peace is gone,
conscience is gone!
Yes, I...

I love the holidays. The happiest and funniest of my childhood memories belong to the mornings of the feast. I remember when I was 9-10 years old in my pink dress, brand new patent leather shoes, and skirts flying up and down the stairs, trying to catch up with the holiday table, like today...
My first article in our newspaper ‘Arttmodernmiami’ coincided with an American holiday, "Thanksgiving Day". Now I would like to tell you about the “Candy Feast” celebration. Candy Feast mornings are special. After the 30-day fast, the breakfast table is very enticing… The hands of the elders are kissed, and the little ones are...

I am not someone who likes to share my feelings. I am someone who lives in my own world, weighs and solves these situations. I did not want to constantly share this earthquake disaster on my social media pages, but I am in a situation that I see around me and now I need to intervene. Everyone around me is constantly talking and crying about this issue, making themselves suffer.
It is very nice to share feelings, as the old saying goes, "Lives increase when shared". But there is also that; You cannot understand the pain of people who experience pain because it didn't happen to you,...
