Sustainability: Our Future
In light of the recent Australian federal election, many of the Australian youth are left thinking to themselves: is it even worth it when the privileged refuse to listen to the current global climate emergency? Leaving many with a strong sense of uncertainty towards their own future. Perhaps a wake up call to take things into our own hands? Away from a cloud of vested interest and unprecedented bias? With the topic of environmental sustainability quickly becoming a political issue.

Geez Louise, Taurus. Can you loosen the grips just a little bit from around the Universe’s neck? We get it. You are an Earth Warrior, a real fighter, a true leader, a real–

**THIS IS SIMPLY A THEORY, NOT MEANT TO DEFAME OR INSULT ANY COMPANIES, PEOPLE, COUNTRIES, AND ANY OTHER PARTIES** The moon landing was widely debated and still is to this day; was it real or was it simply a hoax? I do have my beliefs when it comes to this, but I'll get to that later.

"Jupiter are we almost there?!" The cries of my little brother being lost in the howling wind as we ran through the dimly lit forest. My grip tightened around my little brother's small wrist pulling him. The rain had pelted our hair, the loose strand of hair stuck to my face as we raced through the forest. The clawing of the branches ripped and scratched at my wet skin and clothes. I didn't know where we were going, but all I know is that we must get as far away from them as possible. My legs began to turn into jelly, chest heavy with bricks as I kept pushing. Looking back to my little brother whose tripping over his little stubby feet. The forest was silent, the only thing we could hear was the harsh breathing of our breath.

It's no secret that people who genuinely believe in Astrology and Zodiac Signs are perceived as a little bit crazy to the outside world. See, I get it. Before really diving deep into the world, I felt that way too.
Aries (June Energy Reading)
Aries... I know what you did last summer... JK but I know what you did this year. You didn’t. Aries why so prideful? Why is it that no one can tell you about yourself and that only you know you? I can tell you right now that some of you barely have the right to self assess because people have let you get away with so many things for so long. Yeah, you look great, yeah you have this person wrapped around your finger, and yes you keep your appearance polished but the motto for you is not “look good, feel good” this season.

A wise man once said that your focus determines your reality. And well, to me, it actually rings the most true in regards to the very movie it came from in form of Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. Simply put, I've gone from loving it unconditionally as a kid to being more than a fair bit conflicted with it during the emergence of in depth YouTube reviews, to eventually making peace with it it's flaws and loving it for it's amazing world-building, technical prowess, and some truly memorable scenes. However, in recent years, I've also come around on many of its flaws.

*crickets, crickets* So Cancers... what did we learn? (Cancer Moon here with the full spillage). Did we learn to cut out the dramatics? Did we learn that just because we throw up our hands, and say “fuck it” that it still won’t make your issues disappear? Did we learn that we couldn’t fight the things that had to be shown to us beginning in April, and peaking mid May. How many of you got burned?

Ah, Scorpio. You are definitely a sneaky one. May, you went MIA knowing that was when the madness was about to erupt. Little did everyone know, you were getting your ass dragged through the dirt LONG before anyone else.

Corina White had agreed to it. When the witches of the Everlight Coven came to her with an offer, telling her that if she agreed to be a sacrifice in their ritual, she would gain powers, Corina had been expecting it. She knew it was going to happen. Her father had told her story after story about the Everlight Coven, about how they worshiped dark Gods, how they had to give a sacrifice every twenty years to appease them.

For centuries, people of all religions have debated the existence of fate. It’s become one of the most common conversations to be had despite the ever changing religious beliefs of the world. Yet, no one can seem to come to an agreement. It’s a topic that creates passionate arguments within science and all regions of religion, whether it be within the one most common God, or all the Gods in history that are now obsolete. It seems that most people believe free will and fate work together hand in hand, guiding each other along a path, where fate only intervenes when necessary. Unfortunately people fail to see that these philosophical constructs are contradictory to each other. Their purposes reverse that of the other which in turn diminishes their value of existing in the first place. If they mutually exist then their purposes become invalid just by the mere presence of one negating the function of the other. So either they both exist with no true function whatsoever, or only one exists. And if only one exists, then rationally it must be fate.
