Such women have the greatest fascination for men, not only for aesthetic reasons, since as a rule they are the most beautiful, but also because of a combination of interesting psychological factors. The charm of a child lies to a great extent in his narcissism, his self-contentment and inaccessibility, just as does the charm of certain animals which seem not to concern themselves with us, such as cats and large beasts of prey.

Sigmund Freud, on the allure of narcissistic women, in “On Narcissism: An Introduction.”

For modest cat ladies such as myself, this quote really puts things in perspective.  To understand why men are often drawn to self-absorbed, unavailable women, I need only think about my own love for my hotshot cat.  It’s kind of the same thing, according to Freud.

Photo Essay: Paperweights of Despair

When I was in third grade, I went to an art class once a week after school.  I remember that year as a relatively carefree one for me, but maybe that was just because all of my more difficult feelings were being sublimated into the creation of these disturbing clay paperweight faces.
