Why Kindness Matters
Maybe your plans fall through, or your relationship has finally run its course. Or you get into a fight with your best friend. Or perhaps you're just tired of receiving rejection after rejection email, fucking up at work, or fighting with your mother about having kids.

I Think I'm Outgrowing My Friends
Picture this: you're out with two of your friends that you've known back in college for nearly a decade. The three of you are in your mid-twenties. You're eating at a restaurant. They offer delectable brown bread and butter for free that comes before appetizers and/or your main meal. The three of you are going out to celebrate one of your friend's recent success of picking up a "big boy job" after working two years in retail. You're all in high spirits, ready to enjoy a 1000-plus-calorie meal. It's good vibes all around.

Now, You’re Speaking My Language
Did you know love had a language? I had no idea it spoke anything other than butterflies in the stomach, flutters in the heart, & sometimes tears in the eyes. Turns out, love has multiple languages, & just like others—it has to be learned because everyone speaks it differently.

My Favourite Books of 2021
No.1: The Midnight Library- Matt Haig Usually being more of a nonfiction reader I was reluctant to delve into this book. I’d never heard anything about it, never read anything by the author before, and was simply going off a recommendation- but oh boy I was glad I did.

Our First Married Christmas
When I said "I do" three months ago, I knew that everything was changing for the better. I got to marry my best friend! I know I wasn't the first person in the entire world to do it, but when our friend, our officiant, said, "you may kiss the bride", I felt like we were the only two people on the planet.

How Plants Perfectly Describe The Human Experience
At times it seems as if the world was designed solely to guide us to self-understanding. We're able to see ourselves in everything and conversely everything within ourselves. Through observation and meditation - the world completes us.

A Request for Father Christmas
Dear Father Christmas, I understand that you are very busy at this time. Fitting as much as you can in your sack in order to fly around the world and provide joy and love to all the children of this world. The problem for me is that not every child is happy. Families are broken and all across the face of the earth, people are crying out in pain.

My 9/11 Socks
I'm one of those men who have a hundred pairs of socks in the sock drawer, some new, some old, most in various states of disrepair. Most men don't spend more than two seconds thinking about holes in their socks as they put them on… they call them their "Sunday Socks" and they move on because no one’s going to see them through their shoes. When I open my sock drawer, I wonder if the pair I take out is one of my 9/11 socks, and if it is possible that I still have any more of them.
