If you are able to come to terms with the next thing that I am about to say, your life will become somewhat easier. I’m sorry to be the bearer of this news, but you need to hear it. Nobody. Gives. A. Shit. I’m sorry but it’s true.

Thoughts From a Writer
While watching one of my favorite movies, I came to the realization just how amazing it would be to be able to do what you love every day and night; to dance or play music or sing or draw or even write all day every day. However, it wasn’t until I really thought about it did I really get what was happening to me. For someone like me, I couldn’t possibly write like how someone danced. Both share a part of the soul, as does any passion, but writing is one of those things that could dwindle due to not nurturing. For me, I have all these words and stories playing in my mind like movies, but so rarely am I able to express them like dancers are able to express the music inside them. I understand that dance is nothing like writing, as one involves the body and the other involves the mind, but they both help people showcase the passion they have in their souls. They both help to share beauty in the world.

Smile, It's Not So Bad
When I look around, something I almost constantly see is straight faces often turned down and looking at a phone. While being engaged in social media and our virtual world isn't horrible, it does seem to cause a disconnect to the world around us. It is also keeping our faces turned down in a more stern and depressed looking disposition.

The Dichotomy of Being Yourself
The Dichotomy of Being Yourself All of my life I have been sent this wonderful message of being yourself. I heard this message in TV shows, movies, cartoons from childhood, and from my teachers and my parents. They told me to shoot for the stars, to be true to myself, and all of those lovely sentiments.

7 Ways to Feel More Present
As humans, it’s almost inevitable that we get caught up in the past or future, and forget about the present. We think about things we’ve done, obsess over what we should have done differently and what difference it would have made. On the total opposite spectrum, we’re constantly planning, preparing, and thinking about our future. What can we do to make things better moving forward? How can we best prepare ourselves? It’s a constant struggle pushing you back and forth between the past and the future.

Why Purpose Is Everything
Dear Henry, I remember a few nights ago when I asked you what you thought the meaning of life was and you responded with, “Does there have to be a meaning?” It got me thinking and it inspired me to write this to you. In philosophy, we were supposed to learn about the topic of “The meaning of life,” but ran out of time. I wish that we did have time to learn about this unit, I find this topic interesting because just like a lot of people, I don’t know what the meaning of life is, but I do have a few ideas.

Sickness
Fear is only two of many different ways we perceive it to be. True fear which you acknowledge as danger causes you to freeze, hide, or flee. Then there's irrational fear which is a phobia, but fear could also be a sickness for the people who think very differently than the "normal" way of thinking. Fear can cause damage to a person's brain and impair the memories, so their way of thinking is distorted.

In Dreams
In the dreams of many, one is carried away to a land of enchantment and wonder. Then again, there are many a night where one dreams of misfortune and woe. It is those most trouble some nights when we suddenly wake up and realize that the world has, indeed, changed. For the fortunate few who have weathered the storms of life, the dreams they have might just include fantasies of one form or another. In playing out a role in these types of dreams, one is whisked away to places that may have had an actual influence in the life they have led.
