Fool Me Twice Shame On Me: Falling For A Friend
There seems to be a problem with my brain. Something on a chemical level that I just can't seem to get around. I met this guy in college, a light in the never ending storm of grey that left me struggling to adjust to this new life away from home, and he was nothing short of perfect. I'll call him Chris, a proper gentleman if I ever found one. Chris was the textbook definition of a contradiction, respectful to women yet loves shows that depict them as nothing but a object to be desired, a philosopher who had no interest in philosophy that wasn't his, good looking and athletic yet humble and kind. Someone who had all the same likes as mine yet was on a whole other level. After classes we would sit and talk for hours on any topic under the stars. Home life, writing, anime, religions, dating. Anything that brought a smile to the other's face, allowing them to grasp a glimpse of the many layers that made us before our defenses swallowed us whole.

The Cold War: Has It Started Again or Did It Ever Actually End?
The Cold War started in 1947 between the two greatest superpowers at the time, America and the Soviet Union (USSR). Although many believe it is over, there was never a clear winner in this social, political, and economic war. However, the Cold War is still going, therefore no one won. This can be proven in; the Korean War being a stalemate and the Vietnam War and the Space Race cancelling the other’s win out. The Cuban Missile Crisis was another stalemate, plus treaties were created to not allow further conflict. Even the USSR dissolving did not mark the end of the Cold War, and political events from 1999-2017 being further proof that the Cold War has not finished.

#MyWorstDate Distant Boys and Dog Slobber
I had been seeing this guy for a few moths, let's call him Mark, and we finally decided to go on a date. I know strange right? I left it all for him to plan and asked that he picked me up. The time rolls around for this date and he's nowhere to be found. I try texting, nothing. I try calling, nothing. He shows up half an hour late with his mom driving and comes up to my door. I'm just wanting to leave but my father has other ideas. He starts playing 20 questions with Mark who is already freaked out to even be in my house but then he notices the antique WW1 musket we have hanging on our wall and the boy almost pissed himself. My father was across the room from where the gun, which doesn't even work, is hanging and I see tears in his eyes as if he's seeing Jesus.

Monsters and Me: Growing Up with Abuse
There are days that I forget the memories rattling around in my head are mine and not some bad movie I watched. It's hard for me to imagine that the scared little girl always looking for an exist was a key part of who I was. But then there are days that I feel myself returning to her, as if I never grew out of her shoes. On those days I find it hard to get out of bed and face my life now, the depression being an uphill battle I'm never 100% sure I want to win. Some days I'm in my room, singing along to whatever song I'm listening to on repeat for the next few days, huge smile on my face, as I dance like nothing in the world can touch me. Other days I'm hiding under a mound of blankets, not eating for days, crying at the memories that berate me. On those days I think of all the questions that were left unanswered to me. Why did he love the bottle more than he did me? How come my sister was perfect but I was nothing to him? Why hasn't he changed after the drinking stopped? Where did everything go so very very wrong?

You see there's a few things you need to know, and please don't hold this against me but I feel if you're not prepared you'll drown in the sea of hugs. Because there will be a lot of hugs.

Wicca
Religion Wicca is a nature-based religion with one main belief. It has one main philosophy called the Wiccan Rede or Wiccan Law which is more of a guideline for all Wiccans to follow. It is as follows: "an ye harm none, do as ye will." This summarizes the Wiccan religion very well as it states to harm nothing and no one and let others do as they will and believe what they wish. When people refer to it as an "open religion" they are being very literal as Wicca, after those guidelines, allows the believer to believe in different things. It goes right into separating the religion into three sections;

#Me Too
I sat at my computer innocently scrolling through Facebook when I see the first signs of a movement. #MeToo written on status after status after status of my female friends and comments following made by men telling them that no one wants to hear it or they're making it up. That they should be glad they got the attention they did. A comment on every status I saw and I felt my anger rising, opening my status bar and typing in the hashtag to lend my voice to the movement sweeping the nation and I stopped... erasing the words and clicking to a different screen. A movement for women to shock people with the rates of sexual assault or harassment that I could lend my voice to but all I could think of was what speaking out cost me.

The Story of Us: Falling in Love with My Best Friend
Five years ago, way back in grade nine when I was still trying to find my place in a new school full of new transitions, I met my best friend. For the purpose of this story I'll call her Payton. Payton was in my gym class on my team for softball and, being my usual introverted self, I was standing by myself in line not talking to anyone. That is, until I turned around and noticed the anti-possession charm from the TV show Supernatural drawn on the arm of the girl standing behind me. In a moment of pure instinct I turned to her, pointing at the doodle, and tried to ask her if that was, in fact, the anti possession charm from the hit TV series. Of course once I got the first few words out of my mouth my brain caught up with my actions and I stood there, sputtering and pointing for a solid two minutes (thorougly making things awkward) before I finally managed to spit the name out. The look of relief that crossed her sun-kissed freckled face was almost as amazing as the blindingly beautiful smile that made her whole face light up. And from that moment I knew I was hooked. She laughed and told me she was so nervous as I sputtered on that I would accuse her of devil worship (a reality that was all too common in our small town) but then when I finally found the words she was so thankful that I was in fact just filling my free time watching gorgeous boys on Netflix.

Yuletide Recipes
Yule is traditionally a three day celebration over the Winter Solstice where friends and family come together to celebrate community and the return of the sun god. During this time people feast, swap presents, dance, drink, and party until the holiday is over. This Pagan and Wicca holiday traces back to Roman time when the people would strip themselves of their clothing and have a three day party in the street; although, these days we prefer to keep our clothing on.
