Asking Sunshine: Dating While Friends

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Asking Sunshine I have had an on-again, off-again kind of relationship with a guy for about three years. Recently, we have tried to really make it work for real this time, but the results are an interesting mix of chaos and harmony, with the chaos being explosive arguments, digs under the belt, and me trying hard to be better FOR him. My spirit is LOUD in telling me we’re not for each other, but there is so much history there, and I love him at the very least as a close friend. How can I get over this ideal of … Continue reading Asking Sunshine: Dating While Friends

Poetry Moment: Pablo Neruda

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

The first time I read Pablo’s work; I was addicted.  I would read and reread his poetry as if it was written only for me.  He is a poetic genius.  Please enjoy one of my favorites poems… If You Forget Me I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were … Continue reading Poetry Moment: Pablo Neruda

Asking Sunshine: Distant Daughter

Sharea Farmer, LCSW

Asking Sunshine  Because of how life has moved for both of us, and timing of my early educational pursuits in the midst of my parents’ divorce, I have a much distanced relationship with my father. Long story short, we keep in touch, but there is no REAL relationship there. I love him very much, but it’s always extremely uncomfortable trying to talk with him. We are literally just alike, so I understand him more than he knows, but sometimes it feels like there’s a gaping wound in our relationship that no one is willing to approach, so it will always be … Continue reading Asking Sunshine: Distant Daughter
