Reducing Waste Realistically
I have an idea, and not a lot of time to write it out, so I'm going to just shoot my shot. Americans can reduce waste if we stop using plastic containers and started using glass. I got this idea because in the height of inflation and rising grocery prices my roommate started buying milk from a dairy. The dairy sends us milk in glass bottles once a week, simultaneously picking up the empty bottles. It's saved us a lot of money at the grocery store, and a lot of hassle for me when I carry the groceries inside.

Grocery Shopping Diaries
Now is the time, more than ever before, that we need to be connected. Not the fake, virtue signal of, "stay connected" that Google, Facebook, Zoom, and woke politicians pushed on us. No, online connection is not, and will never be the same as a real life interaction with our neighbors, our communities, and our state. The current cost of living calls for real life connections, not fake ones.

Finding Balance in Relationships
In this opinion piece I will try to simplify an issue that I think everyone can relate to: Finding and maintaining a healthy relationship. As I said, I'm going to try and simplify this, so there may be a logical fallacy sprinkled in somewhere, but that's okay. My view is limited to my own experience, but even with these limitations I want to carry on this conversation. Hopefully someone can take this torch and carry it to bigger and brighter places. I think the key to a happy/healthy relationship is balance.

Blue & Red Makes Purple
"When I was... a young girl... my father... took me into the city... to see a marching band." Actually, my father didn't do that because he's in prison. I just wanted to relate to my audience starting on a high note (g-note to be exact). The last part is true though. It is an irrevocable fact that I was, indeed, a young girl.

Something Unspoken
What does "adulting" mean and why do our parents think it's so funny to say "Adulting is hard huh?" Just hold it. Stop. It's not funny. Here is the actual answer to that question. Your parents laugh at you and your "adulting" attempts because you're finally in on the biggest joke of your life. Here is the punchline. There is no such thing as a real adult, all of it is a lie. The real definition of "adulthood" is to lie.

Toby's Adventures
Part 2: To the Caves Wolfe's car is incomparable to Toby's beat up 1991 Chevy Astro. The car ride is smooth and even on the winding roads, barely making a sound. His envy simmers with every acceleration, as the engine's effortless purr burns in Toby's mind. His own van pops, like a gunshot, if he tries to go twenty too fast. Wolfe's car reaches 60 in an instant, without a single complaint.
