The Year Of...
The air was swirling with the hints of cinnamon and apples. The tiny kitchen was crowded with party guests, all huddling around the petite kitchen table which overflowed with homemade appetizers and goodies. In the center of table sat the night's prized possession; a freshly baked apple pie complete with birthday candles in the center. It was November 2017 and we had all gathered around the celebrate Heather's birthday.

Fearless 2021
This year I have made a decision to become fearless. Fearless of things I was scared of last year and even many years ago. Things such as not believing I have confidence to become a great actor, auditioning for a theater stage play, looking at my own performances etc. so with that being said I actually auditioned for a play this year and got the part. I was very nervous at the table read but the other actors were such great readers that It built more confidence in me to bring it out. Two or 3 years ago I auditioned for the same play but I did not have the confidence or experience that I have now. I could tell that the other actors knew as well but that was not the problem. The problem was that I felt in my heart that I was not prepared for the opportunity just yet. Even know I did not get that particular role I still kept my head up high and went on auditioning for small parts in student films, commercials and background in Hollywood films. Fast forward to this year I am now blessed to have gotten the opportunity to play another role in the same play. Being a Actor is a very tough job but fun job. I learned and is still learning that the more you ask questions while study your craft you will learn so much but at the same time you will notice things differently. Every particular actor will not have the same journey as others because that’s just how life is. I believe you have to really study the art behind acting to really understand what it is to be a great actor. That’s one of the biggest goals for me is to become a great actor. I know that I am on the right path from the research I am studying on the great actors before my time. Another thing I told myself I were going to do this year was read more instead of watching so much tv which is very important. I take helpful advice from mostly everybody not just people who are in a great place in their lives. You never know who you may run into or who may guide you in the right direction. It’s not good to go through life judging people from the outside. Not saying “ YOU” have to listen to everybody but that just how I feel about it. Most importantly you have to work hard. Talent only goes so far. You have to want it and know that you want it. If it were easy the whole wide world would be peaceful because everyone would be happy. Always remember that success is not a race it is a marathon. Just don’t ever quit because you might not know the next day you would’ve gotten your big break as in the opportunity you needed to get your foot in the door. From what I studied I know that many actors I watch today did not get their big break until they were in the thirties or forties, or maybe even fifty’s you just cannot give up. Something that is given to you either doesn’t last long or after a while it doesn’t feel right because no work was put it. But if you work really really hard for something the outcome of it feels great because you know that in your heart you deserve it. Today I am still a struggling actor but the journey of learning is a blessing. So stay focused, study, work hard, believe, and I am pretty sure you will get there. The end.

What is Law of Attraction by John Szepietowski
According to John Szepietowski, the law of interest is a perspective suggesting that positive evaluations bring positive results into a person's life, while unfriendly considerations bring inverse outcomes. It relies on the conviction that pieces of information are such energy and that positive energy pulls in achievement in every regular issue, including prospering, records, and affiliations. While the Law of Attraction has made thought starting late due to books like "The Secret," it needs sagacious affirmation for its cases and is generally seen as a pseudoscience.

Choosing to live
At the dawning of 2021, I chose life. It was an inadvertent New Year's Resolution in that the timing was coincidental. I have terminal cancer. Have lived with ever increasing cancer in my body for 14 years. In June 2020, my palliative specialist told me that based on my CT scans, I had between 3-6 months to live. It is now the end of January 2021 and I am still here, still living well although my energy levels are decreasing.

Think of life as a romp
I once saw a kind of interpretation of life: life, that is, life is born, to live wonderfully. This interpretation of the spirit makes people dumbfounded, which is more helpless to life, but at the same time there is no lack of perseverance in the courage of life.

How To Fix Yourself In Case You Ever Break
I think compassion is the only term we need, paired with patience. But then again, those are two words not one. Yet one in this case cannot exist without the other as it is the synergy of compassion and patience, the self-love multiplied by time giving us that healing unguent we would need in case of crack. The glue of healing.

From Solitary Reflection to Wild and Free, Cyclical Me
2020 was a year of deep shadow work, self-reflection, personal growth, dreaming big, and learning to be comfortable in solitude. Now 2021 breaks through the silence with huge energy shifts that call us out of our shells and beckon us to get ready for the year ahead. I sense big changes brewing below the surface, about to emerge.

Act of kindness even through a dating app.
It has been almost two years since I’ve joined a dating app. Not only to get to know people out of my cocoon whether it’s only for a night or as friends, but also to stay social offline and online specially during the pandemic. As a 21 years old “gay” man who immigrated from Iran to Australia, I felt the need to make connections in order to understand the culture, here in Melbourne city.

My 2021 resolution: Burn your New Year's resolutions list
Once again, I fell for the "new year, new me", the unoriginal and diminishing social promise that this would finally be the year when I would become all of what I had always dreamed of, and when I would unlock all my raw potential into proving a triumphant woman. I helped to plan this magical party that would, at last, prove that I was worthy of self-admiration and success. I spent days thinking what my new year’s resolutions would be for 2021, after a dreadful, slow 2020.

Hope Cultivated
The only surprise that came with 2020 for me was the Covid-19 virus, the season of life I was in had long been on lockdown. As I sat at the park and thought of how stagnant my life had been a refreshing thought popped up in my mind “you’re still standing though”. As refreshing as it was, I was upset it made me feel refreshed. I had been down this road too many times, I wallow in the thoughts of my life’s predicaments, amidst those thoughts comes one with refreshing words that I always recognize, a glimpse of hope is birthed, I cultivate the thought, gather the bits of strength left in me and put it to work as I hope for the best. But again nothing works and I’m back to square one, wallowing. It’s a cycle I thought. So, this time, that refreshing thought wasn’t going to play me again. I refused it.
