I often wonder just how many misunderstandings occur each day. No two minds are exactly alike. People don’t often have the time, circumstances, or nerve to explain the intention behind all actions, words expressed, or looks exchanged; not to mention that would consume one’s day quite extensively if we did. There are many people who…

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, also known as Americas Poet, was born in 1807 in Maine. He was criticized for writing poetry that was too sentimental. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that usually what makes the BEST poetry? Perhaps there was a reason why he wrote of such sentimentalities…? At the age of three, Henry…

If you could tell your younger self any one thing, what would it be? For me, I’d tell myself to never try to “make” someone love you. Some people think they want to be in a relationship, but don’t know how to give you what you need. If they don’t hear you the first time,…

What would you do differently if you knew nobody was judging you? I know what I would do. I’d frolic everywhere I went, I’d never wear makeup, I’d more than likely sing out loud all the time (because I always have a song in my head) and I’d be much more carefree with being center…

How do you help those unable to make necessary changes in themselves? This could fall into any category really, but let’s shoot the dart towards toxic and/or abusive relationships.

I realized there are two types of people. Type 1: You remember your most embarrassing moments in great detail, and shudder at the recollection of it. Type 2: You can’t seem to think of an embarrassing moment, but when asked, mention a slightly awkward occurrence that is actually quite normal for anyone who interacts with…
