For better or for worse, relationships reveal the core of the human condition.
Don't Take That Advice
"Questions for your girl/boyfriend: #2. Do you have a job?" Yeah, that was directly from a popular blog post that made my jaw drop! I sat there in disbelief as I realized this blogger was benefiting from this "advice". Do you have a job shouldn't be a question to ask a significant other, I think most intellectual humans would have asked this, or simply already known, prior to labeling your relationship. Alas, here was this full blog post with even more preposterous questions.

For Anyone Who Feels Like Stepping Off the Ledge
12/02/2020 I was sitting in the living questioning my entire life, my morals, my values. I hate when my mind starts to wander. Trying to ignore the other voice inside of me. My phone dinged and I looked down to see who needed what from me this time.

Becoming Social Anti-social Beings in 2020
Social anti-social beings. This is the term that came to mind as I walked though the empty streets of Melbourne. I had almost forgotten it was a Friday night. As the downtown street are usually filled with people, young and old, almost always dressed to impress. I feel like I should note that Melbourne has some of the most unique street style I’ve stumbled upon. I wanna say it’s Toronto meets San Fran, meets Western Europe… one of the many things I love about it.

Next A Thief, Then Squeegee and Carlybob
We went to collect rent from the tenant in the Dragon House and noticed a ‘For Sale’ sign on a house nearby. Our realtor showed us how we could take a mortgage out on the first house to make the down payment on the second one so we put in an offer. To our surprise, it was accepted.

INFP
Realizing you are an INFP can be very exciting in the beginning. There are so many positive characteristics, like being creative. Always coming up with new ideas and ways to handle a problem or complex situation. The ability to have empathy towards others. Sometimes understanding exactly how someone else feels because INFP’s can imagine themselves in other people’s shoes. These are all great qualities. Nonetheless, there are the ones that are not so great. A few negatives are being overly idealistic, in a realistic world. Not able to articulate the profound thoughts in your head in an eloquent way. INFPs are also more attuned to their feelings and like to be alone. They can be seen as “quiet” or reserved. These are a few negative qualities which are not too bad. Some of the negative aspects can be good and are positive in moderation. I only say this because I have these qualities and understand the beauties and pains of an INFP.

Jura
If you didn't know, Jura(Jer-uh) is the name of home appliance company, called Jura Elektroapparate. It's also the name of one out of 2 best friends I have. I wanna tell you about her, what she likes, some memories I have of her, etc. In reality, I had no idea what to write about, so I asked Jayson and told me to write about Jura, so that's what I'm writing about.

A Pandemic to Remember
The Pandemic is known to be an infectious disease that has caused an enormous amount of significant economic, social, and political disruption. Consequently, many individuals that are infected with Covid-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and will be able to recover without requiring special treatment. In addition, older individuals and those who with underline medical problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease and cancer are much more likely to develop serious medical illness. Therefore, the best way to pervert the infection and slow down the spread is to protect yourself and others by washing your hands, using alcohol-based rub frequently, wearing a mask and not touching your face.

With Pain Comes Strength
One; Beginning Hello and welcome! This is my crazy yet amazing story of finding myself through mental illness. As far as I can remember I struggled. But it was the type of struggle that I didn’t realise was happening until it got really bad. So, at age 9 I’m walking around this playing area on my own; head bowed down and trying not to make eye contact. A football hits me in the head as I walk past the boys playing football. I brushed it off but my neck hurts so I go and speak to the teacher. She tells me not to walk around the playground because “it’s bound to happen”. I felt dismissed and lonely. Nobody seemed to care and people just didn’t want me.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You
This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father. The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.
