What I Wish to Tell You
I sit in my favorite down town café with my usual order: medium Peanut Butter Mocha Frappuccino with no whip, no drizzle. $4.49. During the summer it was $4.50 even, but now I get a penny back, and get to think that I’m lucky. I sit at my usual high table with bar stool, so I can sit or stand as I please. My lap top is open with a fresh, new document ready to go. She should be here any minute. In my head, I practice what I’m going to say to her. You turned out just fine, after all. You never lost the taste buds to enjoy dinosaur egg oatmeal and Lucky Charms. You’ve made a career of your art, music, and writing. Good for you! High School was not a bad as you thought it would be. Crushes really are not that big of a deal. You really should wait until you’re thirty to date. It’s kind of a waste of time.
Sarah MasseyPublished 3 years ago in HumansOpen Space
In all honesty I thought that when the time came to write this paper on the final chapter of contemplative dance practice: open space, that I would be able to define open space. However, I find myself still asking…what is open space? I feel as though it is a space in which a group of individuals holds in order to provide way for original expression in a communal space. Therefore, there is room to express oneself within an influential environment. “Individuals become a group; the improvisation is a single total event, or succession of events in which each person becomes simply a part” (Forti 72). In this explanation of the space I feel the key word is simply. It is important that within the space we do not feel the need to perform or take part in something we do not feel connected to do so.
A World Where Sarah Draws
Sarah sat before me, putting pen to paper in a local coffee shop. My friend Hannah and I decided we wanted to get a tattoo done, but we needed someone's feminine touch added to the process. Only 2 weeks prior we discovered her in her element at Painting With A Twist. Instantly we had this awesome connection that has surpassed the night of wine and canvases. So after a click of a button following her on Instagram, I knew she had to be the one to design our tattoo.

Sunny summer afternoons in the city park were Adam’s favourite time of the week. From atop a large hill that looked out over the steel and glass towers in the distance, the park provided enough green space for multitudes to enjoy. For families like the Pushmans, working-class people living mostly in apartments around the city, the greenery, and open space was a temporary haven.
Falling in love made me a writer
I never considered myself as a writer. I wanted to be one. I always dreamt of being a journalist or writing a book but I couldn't finish anything that I started. I guess a lot of people have that issue. Mine was the fact that I didn't feel like I had anything important to say. I felt like anything I wrote was absolutely stupid and childish and I didn't think there was anyone who'd like to read my stuff so at some point I just stopped writing.

Kadeem HoseinPublished 4 years ago in Humans Healing is an Art
Art is healing and healing is an art. Ten-year-old me loved art, but vowed to never get a tattoo. Tattoos were for “edgy people” who wanted to rebel against the rules. Rebellious being the very opposite of who I was. Yet, ten-year-old me had no clue about the journey that was ahead. She had her anxieties and disappointments and tears, of course. But she never had to really heal. Fast forward to 2018. Two years before the world got sick, I was becoming all-too familiar with westernized medicine. That year consisted of visiting puzzled doctors, taking a bunch of seemingly-pointless medical tests, and having a surgery. I was in pain and couldn’t eat and no one could tell me why. I rang in 2019 with my poor health following me into the new year. A lack of answers, and my sweet mother’s pleading, led me to the decision to move back home 7 months later. I needed to try and heal, but I didn’t know how. I didn’t know how to combat the overwhelming thoughts of despair and the nagging feeling that this suffering would be my new normal. I had always been healthy. My greatest challenges had always been temporary. I didn’t know how to find peace or hope in this chaotic state that was my withering body and life.

We are all human, We all have unanswered questions, and some of us (not all of us) think we know what is best for someone else.
Brianna ReecePublished 4 years ago in HumansTattoo - Scorpion Rose
This is the story about my first tattoo, a lil scorpion with the stinger of a rose, a claiming of my body, my voice, empowering me through punk, music, art, magic and that all that’s a lil bit taboo. Living in the world authentically as myself, female artist, authentic and true.

The Boy with the Teacup Tattoo
I have seven tattoos, but the one people seem most eager to see is the teacup on my ankle. They seem to appreciate the lengths to which I have gone to declare my love of tea. I do love tea; in fact it is one of my favourite things. However, this is not why I have adorned myself with its famed receptacle. And, no, it isn't because Ed Sheeran or Louis Tomlinson has one either. But, as it's quite a long story, I often just don't correct people when they assume as much. However, it's nice to have an opportunity such as this to explain the full tale.
Matty LongPublished 4 years ago in Humans Every Tattoo Has A Story
Greetings. So like this challenge says about inner growth or personal meanings behind tattoos. For a long time I would argue not all tattoo's have meanings. Some get inked up just because they like the picture or art work and want to wear it.. forever. This is coming from myself, a man who has spent 20 years deep in the tattoo game as a tattoo artist. I've worked with the biggest names, tattoo magazines, conventions and even invented a few needle configurations in my time. I at one time truly believed that not every tattoo has a meaning.
