Filtered: Graffiti Reflections
Seen on someone's wall once: "What you see in a mirror is a reflection of a temporary entity." I keep trying to tell myself that. Because then what Meridjet tells me would be true. He says that judging a human being for their body (looks, et al) is like judging ...

Meridjet Motives in a New Light
I was reading Wikipedia a bit ago, about schema therapy.
