What is Success and Have I Achieved it?
In grade 10, my civics and careers teacher assigned us a project on what success means to us. I thought long and hard about what that word meant to me; money, fancy cars, a big house, and the one thing I really believed in.

Being A Little Person
It’s hard enough being in a world that is tall. It’s hard walking into places made for “normal” people. Little people are supposed to acquiesce to what isn’t made for them and yet if something is made smaller for us, we are told to fix things to suit those that are “normal”.

Time to Talk to Yourself
A sense of self can be grounding during almost any situation in life, be it good or bad. However threats to one's image in both societal and self acknowledgement can be detrimental to health, mental state, education and your ability to get through the day. Ever heard the saying “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”? This quote is credited to Einstein in the book “The rhythm of life: living every day with passion and purpose” by Matthew Kelly. (Although there is no evidence to support that he actually said it as It does not appear in the comprehensive collection of quotations “The Ultimate Quotable Einstein” from Princeton University Press.)

Love you
Love? What is love ? Is love life ? Are you love ? Love is a complicated word. I can explain what love is to you. But you need to discover what love is for your self. Love is not something you can express in formules or numbers or words. Its not invented by humans. Its invented by nature its like a energie. This energie is gives people hope and happiness and sometimes it gives you something more to life. You need to understand that if you want to acces the power of love you need to do something first. You need to love your self. Its possible but difficult. Before you give love to your girlfriend, friends, boyfriend or anything you want to love. You need to be aware of what love is and what love will do to you. Love is not something you can play with one day and the other day you can throw it away, NO! Its one of the most rare energie in this world. Please for the people who are heartbroken because of love it will be allright, Maybe not now but eventually you will be able to feel happiness and love again. You want to know why? thats because of the universe. You are part of the universe and the universe is in balance. I will not tell you exact the reason why, but you can find it here.

Emerging from the Shadows of a Pandemic.
When will we emerge from all of this? No one knows for sure yet. Weeks, maybe months. But someday in the hopefully not-so-distant future, we will open our front doors and we will no longer be fearful of the unseen. We will no longer have to quickly leave our homes to grab our necessities and run back to escape the unknown. We will not wrestle with anxiety as we pep talk ourselves before we head out of our front door for work (for those essential employees who still must leave their homes to go to work. We will no longer fearfully anticipate what awaits us when we turn on the television or pick up our cell phones. We will no longer be forced to choose between our health and the health of our families or financial stability for our families. Unfortunately for some families they are one in the same depending on what stand to endure without financial stability.
