July Hard: my version of 75 Hard. What is that, you ask? Well, it’s a challenge. A fitness challenge I’ve heard about for quite some time. I know I’m already late on the bandwagon, but I tend to do things at my own speed, and now is the perfect time for me to start this […]

Coffee. The last thing I think about as I go to bed, and the first thing on my mind as I wake up. You are the thing I look forward to the most in the mornings. Your warmth as I cradle you in my favourite mug… it makes every Canadian winter bearable. And every Canadian […]

Try not to let external factors shake you. Disregard the outside noise as that’s merely a distraction from your goals. They ignore you? So what. You don’t fit in? Make your own lane. The only thing you can control are your actions, words and thoughts. And what really matters is that you feel good in […]

We are all made up of flaws. This idea of searching for perfection is just that. An idea. An impossible idea that can lead us astray. Instead of perfection, we should be searching for authenticity. What makes you you? What makes me me? We need to embrace that. Love that. Accept that. And celebrate all […]

Spring has finally sprung. Or at least, it’s trying to. I actually saw snow a few days ago and to say I wasn’t impressed would be an understatement.

I was five when I knew something was different about me. My first memory. I had no recollection of who my parents were or what they even looked like. All I knew was that I was alone at the orphanage, disconnected from the outside world. I picture it even now, almost like an oil painting: [...]

I’ve fallen in love with a show that’s been cancelled. The concept is rather addicting and I’m all about a good supernatural drama. But even more than the television series itself, the music soundtrack for The Leftovers made the show even that much better. The music left me in pieces. Utter pieces. I would be so engrossed [...]

Demons. We all had them. Some of us were just able to deal with them more than others. Sometimes it was merely an annoyance, like a bee buzzing near your ear that you wanted to swat away. It’d eventually lead to a sharp sting if you weren’t careful. Other times, demons buried you so deep [...]

When I opened my eyes again, I stared back into Reed’s calming face. But I wasn’t outside, freezing my behind and trying to get warmth from his body. No. I was back in my bedroom with the love of my life. Reed stroked my face, almost like butterfly wings. “Merry Christmas,” he said. Then he [...]
