This article was inspired after a talk with a 25 year old lady, who during one of our conversations expressed her frustration at how much pressure she felt from others, whom are constantly trying to mold her to fit the “status quo” for their age bracket. She constantly has to deal with the pressure of…… Continue reading Dare to Be Different: Invest in Yourself
Author: Sofia Falcone
I believe, with quiet fervor, that one soul can shift the course of many. I write not from abstraction, but from the raw immediacy of lived experience and learned studies - from the labyrinth of my own challenges, triumphs, questions and awakenings. In offering the contours of my inner world, I hope to awaken in others a remembrance of their own power, their own unclaimed wholeness.
Carl Jung: The Man Behind The Legend
As mentioned on a previous article, I’ve decided to write about those whose work have had the most impact in my life and whom I have chosen for various reasons as role models. I have already written on Friedrich Nietzsche and my last article was on Charles Bukowski and his lesson “Don’t try”. Today I…… Continue reading Carl Jung: The Man Behind The Legend
Charles Bukowski: “Don’t Try”
These past few days have been particularly challenging to say the least. Other than a few minutes here and there to do nothing or use that time to share my articles on social media, I find myself busier than usual. I know this state of being won’t be permanent as every month I’ve learned to…… Continue reading Charles Bukowski: “Don’t Try”
Idealism: The Antidote To A Dilapidated Society
This article aims to talk about Idealism and its power. Far from being considered a dynamic, adaptive, useful tool, society has been taught to confuse its actual meaning, which has led to its contempt, mockery and the underestimating of its value as an antidote to the dilapidated and divided state our modern society finds itself…… Continue reading Idealism: The Antidote To A Dilapidated Society
Abortion: The Debate
Today I am going to write about a very controversial subject, one which many shy away from as per the repercussions it may have; from simple disdain to threats. However as most of you know, I believe in the expressing of our opinions politely but clearly. With so much “Pro-Choice” propaganda out there, I figure…… Continue reading Abortion: The Debate
Friedrich Nietzsche: Quotes for Self Development
This article is about moral progressivism —the idea that human morals consistently improve over time and what Friedrich Nietzsche thinks about it. “I am the first German who has mastered aphorism and aphorisms are a form of eternity. It is my ambition to say in sentences what everyone else says in a book, what everyone…… Continue reading Friedrich Nietzsche: Quotes for Self Development
The Importance of Healing Our Emotional Wounds
We live in a world that often clings to excuses…where blame is cast like shadow puppets on the wall, obscuring the light of personal accountability. We explain away rudeness as character, justify apathy, cheer at the hypocrisy of congeniality, and lose ourselves in the maze of circumstance. The Stoics would say: we choose this way…… Continue reading The Importance of Healing Our Emotional Wounds

You are the one who brings out my magic Let me be your earth, your air, your water. You are life’s breath Divine Venus who brought me out…… Continue reading Without You
Warrior Within
This is a rough copy of a poem which I am dedicating to anyone who has ever endured a mental or physical abusive relationship. Sometimes when one has endured pain growing up, one tends to accept more pain and abuse as if it was natural. It is not that one goes out looking for abusive…… Continue reading Warrior Within
Man/Woman Child Syndrome
We all have met people who on the outside look like adults while on the inside they have gotten “stuck” at some level of their development; this process is commonly level as the “Peter Pan Complex”. The Peter Pan complex refers to people who refuse to grow up. More often than not, they label themselves…… Continue reading Man/Woman Child Syndrome
