On Becoming Too Resilient
We are taught to go with the flow when we should really resist the rust.

Affection is often misplaced, but not misunderstood. In the first part of a three part series on the human condition, we dig into the memes of affection, and how we react to expressions of fondness that bind us while also separating us.
