11 unpopular opinions about being a human being (opens the original)
Read excerpt
1. Once you’ve been born, there’s no going back. God forbid you get tired of living and decide to end it all, suicide is unfortunately not the end of your existence. At least that’s what I believe. As long as you’re human, you have a soul. And after the flesh dies, the soul keeps on living. So your life essentially never really ends…2. As painful as it sounds, as a human being, you can never truly be independent. From the moment you’re conceived in the womb, you start depending on
Pretty Girls Are Dumb (opens the original)
Read excerpt
So I used to have a crush on this guy in my department. For the purpose of this post, we’ll call him AlexanderGregory0059.Now, it wasn’t really a big deal, I’m just a whore for the intellectual mind. I liked his face and his brooding, slightly moody demeanor. Kind of like Adam Carlsen but with a touch of mystery to him. It made me curious. Not curious enough to talk to him.

Now, not everyone will agree with this, and I don’t blame them because I’ve never had a reason to show them my wicked side, hopefully never will. But to those I have shown my wickedness? Ah!

The Shame of Grief (opens the original)
Read excerpt
*** I’ve debated writing this piece for a long time because I genuinely didn’t know where to start. Every time I sat down to write it, I ended up deleting everything. I knew what I wanted to talk about, I just didn’t have a name for it yet.Then I realized this isn’t really about grief, it’s about the shame of grief.That probably sounds strange because grief and shame are not two words we naturally put together.We understand sadness, we understand heartbreak, we understand loss.
