Hi, How are You? I am highly adequate, and functioning within manufacturers specifications.
Updater: Shout out to Singapore & Hong Kong
The last year of 2024 saw over 10,000 pageviews from Singapore, and 6,000 readers from Hong Kong. My book blog "XENOPHILE" is a treatise on loving all people, including our variations. But between the lines is a document on Split Bias Marketing. Nothing sells like being hated for belonging to a exclusive out group.
Boutique Parapsychology, and Alternative Medicine are perfect examples of elite targeted marketing. No one gets that I'm selling meaningful statistical profiling meshed perfectly with online cultures of trivial escapism. After the web was banned in Russia, (My only readers for the first several years) Asian Pacific readers started seeing the diplomatically safe message of tactful discretion. (Mom once said, "Snoopy people are the bane of the world and peoples concerns are for themselves only.") Esoteric traditions may seem arcane, but they are subject to precise analysis.
Prayers to a dead medium, Your Art speaks to me whether I want it to or not. What kind of books and letters did I leave myself for the future? Can I catch up again?
What? Too Much Information? The verity of every life is one.
Everyone's story is thread unwound under the eye of the universe. May my heart still love when the losses of living grace my shadowed soul.
And when the empty bowl breaks again, I'll remember.
Moonshine across my eyes, like gravity forgiving sins.
Wash me away, sing to me in sleep.
Warm mists rise from waters peaceful stars,
And dream of shadows release.
Pathologically Self Reliant people are tired of being labeled avoidant. I am not a product.

Jennifer Fern says in her book, “EXISTENTIAL KINK”
“Being with the wrong guy can be a lot of fun.”
I am the wrong guy too. I’m not just checked out, I’m all over the place. I own up to my inner avoidant, everyone has one. We all want to stop obsessing, every now and then.
If I don’t say yes, I’m definitely saying no! {Ironic statement for self acknowledgement} Those of us who are avoidant need to get it together, with each other and with ourselves. We, the Avoidant must Unite. We will only let others in when we want to, or not at all. Who can better understand the twisted language of conflict averse people better than another stiff, stoic, quiet martyr. The clueless hero, the conscientious loner, the virgin top. Male, female, gay or straight. Virtue is very sexy and integrity is super hot. But dating for value alone, is a relationship slaughter house.
I’m not enticed. I’m not even overly avoidant. But the term Avoidant has become the new pop diagnosis. Blah blah, blah. Who isn’t? I was diagnosed an infant Autistic, then decades later diagnosed OCD and or ADHD. Then I was hospitalized with terminal depression growing into a manic depression. Meds have changed, services have evolved. My Addictions came with the fresh diagnosis of narcissistic borderline personality disorders, PTSD and grandiose dissociation. When the issue of conduct is mine, I tend to prefer to be alone.
Maybe none of these labels apply all the time, but, critique accepted. I’m better for engaging each critique to develop new adaptability. Supposedly, everything I was diagnosed, is in remission. But, I was also told along the way that most of these conditions would never go away, much less respond to treatment. What gives? Did I do anything unexpected? Was it anyone’s fault? Domestic casualties have always been a fact of life. What’s changed? I’m not complaining, (much) change is good. It is. I think when we don’t respect that people will change, (including us) we’re doomed!
The Hard-sell of this whole wellness thing has been a bit of a red flag of false hope. I think the medical industry is coming off a little too desperate to make a sale. The unexpressed expectations and costs of a viable recovery is a big put off to any informed consumers. Speak proactively with your providers, most will respect your honesty.
“Mind the gap.” It isn’t just a curtesy, it’s a warning. Physician heal thyself.
