The Meaning of Life
You may forget memories but you can’t forget an emotion. People may forget what you did for them, but they can never forget how you made them feel. We all want to find meaning to life. We are all so clouded in this endless race, trying to find our very own nirvanas. A cycle of continuous. An infinity in its very nature. We all want to find meaning to everything. I have spent so long trying to perfect my ideas not realizing that perfection is an infinity in its very self. For every step you take closer to it, an infinite number of steps you are away from it. I didn’t realize that I just needed to do it.

On Working Through an Emotional Time
The other night was full of tears and devoid of sleep. I’ll admit I did a little grumbling at the sun for its untimely arrival the next morning. Alas, I hopped (okay, stumbled) out of bed (couch.. same difference) and made myself a damn good bowl of banana ice cream, some hot coffee, and went about a productive day. I’m not going to go into logistics of the ongoings last night. This is a blog, not a self-counseling site… I’ll say this. I’m still hurting, bruises don’t mend overnight… but I refuse to let them cripple me. Here’s five tools I use to work through an emotional blow and get back on my own two feet.

Dreaming
In my life, I always had a thing for dreaming... I knew there was something bigger out there, waiting in the universe. Sure, dreams exist in big and small things. They live in everything. From our need to touch the sky as astronauts as a kid to our desire to look at Tumblr and Instagram pictures, it can’t help but to strike our imagination. We want the awe, the mystical, the whimsical and the beauty of it all. It exists in pop culture, in the schools, at work, at the mall, at the movie theatre, and everywhere you look. There is also something bigger, more intricate, more amazing, and more philosophical, something that makes us human. It’s our greatest nature as humans. Here, I’ll explain it to you and maybe you’ll understand why I’m so interested in it...

38 Things I Would Tell My 16-Year-Old Self

Self-Sabotage Explained as a Child Wanting Cake
Self-sabotage explained as a child wanting cake. When I was a teenaged queer woman living in Kamloops, British Colombia, I had the pleasure of befriending a woman and her family.

What Can the Creative Process Give Us?
Anything that is done in the creative process takes effort and hard work. Any work of art, any piece of music, any lengthy novel took days, weeks, months, and even years to create. The creative process allows any person to express oneself in any way they see fit. The idea to keep in mind is that it is best for somebody to discover what he or she would like to create based on what his or her interests are. They then must discover for themselves what exactly they are good at creating and what they have a passion for doing. Being creative cannot be forced on someone.

Is It a Crutch or a Tool?
Is it a crutch or a tool? Sometimes we find ourselves relying on things to help us accomplish tasks or goals. But do we really need to? If it is something that is helping make you better then it is a good tool that truly helps you, however if it is allowing us to be lazy, or not improve, or stagnate it is a crutch and needs to be discarded.
