Guys, help! So, my ex-boyfriend (we broke up just two weeks ago) and I met him through a group chat with mutual friends. The thing is, I left the group a while ago, and some others did too. Then, two of the remaining members decided to revive it and add everyone back in. And, of course, they added him! The problem is, he had blocked me everywhere, I guess to avoid contact. He hasn't replied at al... » Continue Reading
Something I noticed long after watching Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein is that many women are very attracted to Frankenstein's monster. This got me wondering why so many women are drawn to "monster romance." And while there isn't a single reason, there are some possible explanations. So I decided to break it down into seven points and possible reasons: 1. The monster represents what the world c... » Continue Reading
Hey everyone, don't take this too seriously or anything like that too seriously, I just wanted to vent, haha. I HATE unimaginative people who take every word literally and see me as weird or crazy just for being a dreamer. For example, I posted a blog talking about cannibalism as a METAPHOR for love.

For this topic, I decided to make a comparative chart of... » Continue Reading

Let me explain further: It has a romantic, nocturnal air: intimacy in the dark, fangs like an extreme kiss, blood like a secret pact. Vampirism is endless repetition: hunger always returns, there's always a need for more... » Continue Reading
In a previous blog post I talked about cannibalism as a metaphor for love, and now I want to address another very beautiful and interesting metaphor: religion as a metaphor for love. Just as religion is born from faith in the invisible, love is also about believing in what cannot be measured or guaranteed. It is trusting that the presence of the other has a meaning greater than any explanation. In... » Continue Reading
Okay, but can we talk about c*nnibalism as a metaphor for love? I find the idea of loving someone so much that you want to absorb them beautiful; that impulse to incorporate them into everything and make them part of you, to always have a little piece of them present. Let me explain further: Love can be experienced as hunger: for contact, for words, for presence. Metaphorical c*nnibalism express... » Continue Reading
