Life
Creation As Solace
You ever wake up in the morning and stare at the ceiling, wondering what is the point of this life? Sure, the coffee and the kiss on the forehead and the laughters of your loved ones is great and all, but isn't it all just a bit too absurd?

What does a year as a writer look like?
As a creator time seems more like a construct than to the average person. We string together different time periods, different limits of realities, like it’s a common thing among our busy schedules. How could it feel like a 200th entry, when we’ve written thousands in our head?

The Beauty of Gratitude in a world full of Cynicism
The beauty of gratitude in a world full of cynicism Ever acquainted with the phrase that the world that you exist in, the life that you embody dwells in the perception of the stance you hold for yourself. The beauty and the tragedy of life is that it is as beautiful as the optimistic lens of perception and as ugly as the pessimistic view of your being. The strive of our endeavours and the constant effort to achieve the next massive milestone often drive us to the edges of insanity, to be in the consistent light of greatness we lose sight of the great strings of joy that bind our existence together. To be the best we have ever been we must be mindful of the best we are. Coinciding in the traps of negativity and yet claiming to be the best version of yourself is a blinding truth that lies to only you. Acceptance of what was and what is the only path that will lead you to what it is that you are meant to be.

Killing Your Darlings and Scrapping Everything
I felt tired roughly 3 hours ago. So much so that I went to bed. Maybe it was the ill-timed, last minute no-bake cookies I ate. You know, all that sugar isn't good for you! Or maybe it was the hour of gleaning and giggling as I listened to the recent Colin and Samir podcast episode featuring Hank Green. I wasn't planning on being challenged the way I was.

School Lunches, or, What Cafeterias Taught Me About Seeing
We were sitting at the lunch table, a rectangular piece of school manufacturing with six stools attached to either side, when someone mentioned Caitlin's crush in that way that middle school girls so often do. His name was Tommy McDowley. He was Caitlin's Tommy, and, apparently, as a table, we'd already invented an entire life between the two of them.

Ocean refuses no river
Its told that the river usually quivers before it joins the ocean. She slows down as it nears the end. Witnessing something infinite do shake her for once. Maybe due a fear of something unknown or being lost in a vast sea. The fear of losing the familiar shore, and embracing uncertainty. In the cocoon of the comfort zone, a fear of change seizes her, like roots overgrown . The fear of an uncharted space like a novel world where you have no deadens and all you can see is the horizon. Now, deep inside she knew if she would move forward, it would risk her own existence. That's when the realization hits you that at the end of every journey may not be a destination we dreamt. And that's why its told that every story is about the journey and not just the destination itself. So we cherish the journey, for it's in the wandering, we find our grace. The beauty of travel, in every mile is an adventure, in the river's smile.
