Eating Healthy Challenge!
So I woke up this morning with an urgency. Today, I was going to start a ‘Healthy Eating Challenge!’ Well, the thought was there and my creative imagination extended just in a short timeframe. I am going to take on the challenge of eating healthy and now the pressure is on! No, no, I’m just kidding here. Healthy Eating Challenge! Sounds good huh? Ok, I am not going to say ‘Diet.’ Why? Because ‘Diet,’ sounds like a harsh word. It sounds like, you have to, immediately embed a restrictive value to your mind, and, before you know it you’ve already changed your mind. Personally, this is what I think of when I hear the word(ahem) ‘diet.’

A Dunning-Kruger World
As a person who has lived with ADHD my entire life, I can completely understand how people who have a know-it-all attitude and who aren't afraid to voice their irrelevant opinions can be frustrating and also damaging to one's well being. These opinions of others, whether they be right or wrong, can have an impact on the listener.

The Greatest Privilege
We live in a universe where our greatest privilege is life itself, death the inescapable reality governed by space and time. But humans are a death-denying species, constantly forgetting the renewal that death offers the universe, the beginning of a new chapter from the end of the old.
