The Two Certainties of Life
“The only two certainties in life are death and taxes.” A popular saying spanning across hundreds of years and still holding truth until this day. The more i think about it, the darker the phrase becomes. It speaks to me that no matter how prepared you are for anything, you still won’t be ready until…

The Bravery to Fail
There is a small moment right before a decision has to be made where the possibility to alter and change the course of one’s life exists. That or perhaps the lack there of. Sometimes, we do not realize the severity in the moment and to others, that moment means nothing at all. It seems like…

We are Only Human
It is normal for us to try our very best and still fail. We can come with the purest of intentions and still hurt the person across from us. We can be quick to judge and slaves to our egos – for we are only human. Now being human is something we all have in…

The Savage Cycle of Choosing the Wrong Person
“I always date assholes” or “I have bad taste in (wo)men”. Have you ever said this before or have heard a friend say it? In a world and time where we seem to get out less and log on more, there seems to be a lack of communication fundamentally. In my social circles, texting is…

Are You Here?
Not physically, obviously; I’m talking about this very moment. Are you present or are you living in the anxieties of the future or the trauma of the past? The present is a magical place. It can refer to your location and the environment you are in. Deeper than that, I know where I physically am…
