Our community
is our home.
It’s everyone’s castle
to roam around in.
It’s everyone’s world
to survive in.
Strangers
can be the best companions.
They can teach us things
we’ve never known about.
They can become
our new mentors.
Emporiums and cafes
can become our new safe spots.
They can be our new places
of escape and security.
They can be a centre
for discovery.
Libraries and community centres
are public kingdoms.
They’re our very own
intellectual, mental and physical playgrounds.
These sites of wonder
are built to give us magic.
Gardens and parks
are our paradise.
We come here
to bathe in flowers and forests.
Nature is the best way
for us to psychologically detox.
Employment is freedom;
it liberates us from poverty,
depression, anxiety and boredom.
Without it,
we cannot move forward.
Without it,
we would be financially famished.

Snatched Away
Having something or someone stolen from you is one of the worst things a person has to experience. You don’t have to only have an object such as a designer purse you’ve been owning for years or a stuffed toy you refuse to relinquish, you can have anything stolen from you: your intelligence, your lover, your child, etc. Being a victim of theft and loss is just as painful as having a rock thrown at you.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.
