Please Grow Up To Be a Fool
Sometimes we get into moods where we think too deeply, we muse too strongly, and we feel just too much. And so we must get it out. We must express it. And so on 4/7/18, after a particularly rough day, my mind wandered into its darkness as I watched a wonderful movie, and came out with the following.

Dealing With Doggy Depression
When we look at our dogs, we think they are just the happiest creatures on earth. It's hard to imagine our wiggly tailed and happy faced pooches could ever feel anything but innocent, pure joy. So for a lot of dog owners, they are surprised when they find out that dogs actually can suffer from depression.

"Girl Problems"
We all have them. Girl problems. In some way shape or form everyone has got at least one girl problem. Even boys. But the kind of girl problems I'm gonna talk about today though are the ones that only girls can have. And if you're easily grossed out or faint hearted, here's your chance to escape this article unscathed. Proceed with caution! Also sex is mentioned in this article, if you are innocent-eyed and minded—please press the back button before I get in trouble with your parents.Periods are typically uncomfortable, messy, smelly, and sometimes painful. For women with hormonal imbalances that cause problems with it, periods can be even worse. And it makes it hard to tell when there could actually be a problem because every woman is different—so that means... every woman's period is different.

Herbal Flea Remedies
We all hate fleas. Even people who don't have four-legged, furry children hate fleas. So we all strive to keep them out of our homes, yards, and off of our precious pets. But usually flea preventive is expensive. And chemicals. And awful. It makes us feel bad, it makes our pets feel bad, it stinks, and what a huge money dump!

Hellfire and Kindness
My world is one of black and white. Of good and evil. My world is after mankind's destruction. Sobs and hysteria echo about the empty valleys and cities now where there was once endless noise, a mixture of good and bad and anywhere in between. Laughter is rarely heard and when it is, it is looked down upon with terror as if the very idea or thought, or sound of joy might bring more devastation to the surface of our world.

A Little Closure
I think it's reasonable to guess that almost everyone in the world has experienced a situation in which they have received no closure. Whether it be an incident, a relationship, an experience, an addiction or lifestyle, I believe we all have dealt with something that moved us deeply and created a wound which refuses to close. In fact, I think it's safe to say the majority of people have experienced several things in their life in which closure seems out of reach.

Keep Your Heart Light
More times than I count already in my short life I have experienced the burden that is life. Times when life simply is too much. It sits on your shoulders and makes you slouch. Your stomach is not only in knots but it feels as if you are trying to break down and digest magnificent boulders that have shrunk down to fit in your systems. Simple tasks are too hard to find the motivation and everyday menial repetitive tasks that are part of everyone's day to day are just too much effort.

Answers From Your Inner Child
Think back to a place in time... You're five years old, and you're looking at the sky in amazement. "Why is the sky blue?" We've ALL asked that question as a child – I'm pretty sure. For some of us the answer was: "Because God made it that way," or "Because that's the colour the universe made it.," or maybe it was: "because that's the sky fairies favourite color today;" or "I don't know! Ask your teacher!" But none of it mattered really to you... the big simple picture was this sole fact: The sky was blue. And it was big. And it was...AMAZING!
