INFP Camil Petrescu's "Patul lui Procust" (Procrustean Bed)
Your reprimands are devoid of utility, like the anger of someone who knocks on the wrong neighbor's door, instead of knocking on the door of the neighbor they're really looking for; and just like it was with the previous letter, and just like it is right about now, they have weakened my will to make the effort of explaining the idea that even attempts at clarification are often fruitless.*

Behind the Microwave Door
The microwave's shrill electronic cry shattered the concentrated silence Sarah had cultivated for the past hour. A cruel countdown to the looming deadline that hung over her like a storm cloud. With a sigh that rumbled from the depths of her being, she slammed her laptop shut, the satisfying click a defiant act against the suffocating pressure. Reaching for the familiar cotton oven mitt hanging by the stove, it offered a small comfort against the pre-meeting jitters that had taken root in her stomach.

How to care for oneself while grieving
How to care for oneself while grieving Grief in its entirety strikes while you least expect it. The atrocity of sadness lies in the false notion of being alone and having it all together all the time. To be or not to be in the constant state of despair is not in one’s hands, as melancholy varies in its intensity ranging from a dejected mood to deep and chronic loneliness. Oftentimes people subject their negativity to a mere passage of time, but often there is an underlying cause that needs to be addressed and healed to become in a state of awareness of their emotions and innate being. It is important to bring light to the need to embrace one’s emotions and not shame ourselves with guilt when we don't feel happy or in rhythm with our souls. Often we lose the sense of self when surrounded by grief.

Art and Suffering
There exists a school of thought that maintains that without great suffering and depth of experience, no truly great art can arise. Why does it seem like so many artists, both in the past and in more recent times, appear to have been the victims of so many misfortunes, turbulent psychological states, unhappy childhoods and family backgrounds, and miserable or failed marriages and relationships? Is this unhappiness perhaps part and parcel of the human condition, and are artists just the more obvious or poetic martyrs?
