For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
The Color of Youth
College is the very amazing stage for students, they have gone through the hard time and finally come to their dream place. In this beautiful age, students are young and full of energy, their color of youth should be red, which means active.
safe and secure
As a child, I would dream about a door in my closet that would lead me to a secret garden where I was safe to exist, to be myself, to feel love, express, and feel my emotions. I would immerse myself in stories of children finding these magical places where they could run, and not simply hide, but escape. Hoping that one day I'd be able to have that same luck, that luck is called growing up.
Living in Two Worlds
It’s Columbus Day and I am supposed to celebrate the discovery of America. But I am part Native American so I am supposed to be angry that he did so. What is a person like me to do?
To Save a Laptop
It was Sunday morning. Cath and I were at Barnes & Noble. I browsed the mags, found a couple, bought a latte. Cath found her book, found a couple of mags, and we sat down in the café. A fellow, 40-ish, was seated near us looking at his computer. He picked up his phone.

The night is bleak, and what is desolate is life; what is desolate is youth; what is desolate is like a dream, and what is desolate is love. The long and long youth belongs to others; the floating life is our own. ——Inscription/Lone Star Chasing Moon The wind outside the window tore wantonly, it has been tearing for many nights, there is no intention to stop, sobbing to swallow everything, the vehicles on the distant highway always galloping in the night However, the dust was lifted up in all directions and followed away, like our dreams when we were young, so vulnerable, fragmented in the torrent of the world, scattered all over the place. Souls waking up from nightmares are always unable to sleep peacefully anymore. At this moment, at two o'clock in the morning, the wind is raging, and the ghosts are at their extreme. The night outside the window was gleaming, and the howling wind "whipped" everything in the night for a long time, reverberating in the valley like a ghost, the doors and windows creaked...This night, I was destined to lose sleep and listen to the ghostly wind and loneliness outside the window. Associate. The gloomy wind outside the window tore the night, making people uneasy, as the same electric current stimulated my mind to be especially clear. In such a violent air, my heart was ups and downs, as if it was also torn apart, and it was easy to be sentimental for many things at first. I suddenly thought of yesterday, of those flying times, of us without any emotion, of us who were young and lingering in the sun yesterday,
So I wrote a book about control...
So I got so angry, as a 41 year old woman in the UK who genuinely has felt frightened to be a woman, has even felt shame because of it, especially after the recent kidnappings and murders of several women, that I decided to do something about it. I wrote a book detailing every controlling behaviour I had ever experienced, within unhealthy relationships.

I have to take French civics classes to be able to have dual passports. It’s a process that I delayed far longer than I should have done. I glanced around the classroom as it began filling up with mostly sleepy faces. We were such a mashup of peoples from literally all over the globe. It was pleasing to me. I love that sort of thing. I felt quite comfortable.
Karolyn Denson LandrieuxPublished 3 years ago in Humans5 Things I Learned From Teaching Up North
The incredible spirit, perseverance, and connection to the land and those around, have blessed the lens in which I’ve seen my students. I’ve never felt more honoured to share spaces with folks then when I’ve taught in Igloolik, Kimmirut, and Poplar Hill First Nation. These kids are superheroes, and I dedicate this piece to all those I’ve crossed paths with.
Oneg In The ArcticPublished 3 years ago in HumansGender Stereotypes are Outdated
I'm glad that our society is becoming more aware and understanding towards different genders, and that more people are allowed to be themselves. When I think back to the fact that for centuries gender and sex were viewed as the same thing, and that everyone had to fit into what a boy or girl should be, it's hard to fathom.

First of all, please look after yourselves. I endeavour to be honest and truthful, and will try not to be overly bleak or graphic, but I want you to be mindful of your own mental health throughout. If anything you read does bring up bad stuff, please, please, please seek out help. Speak with a trusted friend or family member, or reach out to one of the many mental health crisis and call back services. I will endeavour to include a list of just a handful of these at the end of each piece. Remember, you are not alone, you are deserving and capable of love and the world could not stand to lose your unique spark!
