What A Hungry Refugee Child In Turkey Taught Me
As I stepped off the beautiful Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul, my hair was beehived with wind and ocean breeze. I walked with a sway in my step; still used to the rocking motion of the boat. The sun was beginning to set in the distance, burning the sky in an extravagant fashion.

Science and Diary Writing: Mental and Physical Benefits
I’ve been told that diary writing is only a certain demographic; troubled hipsters or spoiled kids who use their diaries to whine endlessly.

Trust Me; Burnout Is Real
Ever had deadlines and finish lines to meet with absolutely no energy to do so? The dates on the calendars menacingly glare at you with their red sheen and you know how urgent it is to meet those deadlines, but you just can't will yourself to do so.
