Hmm… I am not sure that I would agree that every relationship can be healthy. Just like knowing cheeseburgers are unhealthy doesn’t make them healthy.

We are all different. Some people have certain properties about themselves that arise from an interplay between genes and environment which confers upon them certain strengths but gives them some vulnerabilities.

A while back I was fascinated by the idea that the lack of aesthetic was still an aesthetic. Sterile, no ornamentation, no frills, no distractions. Clean. Pest-free.
