Staying away from absolutes in life
Hello my friend! I wanted to share with you something small that has really helped me gain control of myself, and improve my outlook as I tumble through this existence we call life. Life can be very painful sometimes and I learned that the more you analyze yourself (though it requires more effort) makes it easier to keep going. One bad habit I have is living in absolutes. Black-and-white thinking. It is so subtle I only realized I am a victim to it when I asked myself: “why do my failures or attempts hurt so much?” It was because I set it up every attempt to either be “the-greatest-thing-that-will-change-my-life” or…

No shame in the looong way: My road to artistry
Hello, my friend! It’s been a while. I wish I could say after a year and some change, there’s been a big change in my life but honestly….. not really.

Appreciating Platonic Love
The older I’m getting I’m realizing how cold and harsh the world can be, how unforgiving it can get. To have people in your life who know you and have watched you enter different phases in your life, whether as a friend, a family member, a teacher, or a neighbour--- this is a huge blessing that we should not take for granted. Lately I've been wondering if these kind of community bonds are disappearing, or if I ever really experienced it at all....
