Dealing With Insecurities
It's no doubt that everyone has insecurities, and if you say you don't the chances are you're just trying to hide them from the world. There are many ways to deal with these problems but you should never feel ashamed of having them. I will be talking about I have personally helped with people dealing with them and how I have dealt with them myself.

70 Little Things You Can Do When It's Raining to Stay Positive
Rainy days can be annoying, but I kind of like them. They are essential for nature and make you appreciate the sunny days more. Sometimes it is nice to slow down, stay warm and cozy at home sipping your tea, and relax.

So it's far too late for me to be awake right now, but I can't stop thinking about something. I've recently been taking advantage of the supposedly "open" message boxes of celebrities I follow on Instagram. It started off as just me responding stupid things to their stories, having zero expectation that they would actually see it. And if they so happened to see it, I highly doubt they would respond to me. But then I started using it as another way for me to actually try and reach out to these people I think so highly of. I'd catch a glimpse of something we had in common that we could relate on and I'd use it to try and form some kind of connection through it.

The Adventures of Captain Snapchat
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.

The Ocean
I come from a landlocked prairie town in Southern Alberta Canada. Not exactly Ocean inspired, actually quite the opposite. Oil, cows, and wheat. All how I started my life, knowing and loving. However, for some mystical reason, I knew The Ocean was inside of my heart, even though it scared the sh*t out of me.

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.

10 Ways to Better Your Life (That No One Will Encourage You to Do)
If there's one thing that most people will always offer, it's advice. This is doubly true when it comes to advice that will better your life in one way or another. People will tell you ways to better your life such as going to college, or paying into your retirement fund, or even by getting a cheap job.

Chris Rock and a Hard Place
Just last night, I watched the Chris Rock Netflix special. The usual commentary on race politics and gender relations filled the 60 minutes or so, but one allegory stuck with me beyond the notorious "black mirror" that we have become so accustomed to. As my unlit screen stared back at me, I couldn't help but dwell on Rock's reference to how relationships function much like bands. “Sometimes you’re singing lead, and sometimes you’re playing tambourine."

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.

Life Without Living
"None of this matters, so do what you need to survive and keep moving." Just a simple tweet among the countless others filling my timeline. Yet, upon reading it—though it wasn't some grand moment filled with exploding realization and magical emotion—it was a quiet, relieving epiphany; like letting out a heavy sigh.
