When Do We Escape? When Can We Breathe?
Every time I bring up the scary R word people say, ‘If the roles were reversed.’ So, lets reverse them. You grow up in a world where your favorite characters don’t look like you but, you love these characters. You look up to them. Think about a character that you held dear to you when you were a child and now imagine if they looked absolutely nothing like you. Imagine that none of them did. Imagine trying to dress up as your favorite superhero and the only thing people can say to you is that your hair isn’t curly enough or your skin is too light to be them. That would crush your spirit, wouldn’t it? Little five-year-old you that can’t be anything but ‘the bad guy’, a caricature, loud character, annoying character, side character, suppotive character. Then you finally get a main character that looks like you and they turn into an animal mid movie. So, what was the point then? You barely got to see yourself and the rest of your community. Leaving you to believe that you’re not allowed to escape into a fictional world because you don’t exist in any of these worlds. The only way you can exist is if you’re not yourself.

Do you feel lazy?
As a post-80s generation, laziness has been deeply engraved in the bones. No matter what you do, find a way to procrastinate.Like getting up. When the alarm clock goes off, I will always stay in bed for ten minutes. In terms of work, he is also in a state of catching fish when he can, and his execution is very poor. The same is true for learning. It is always a three-minute enthusiasm. So far, I have not done anything successfully.

The Adolphus’ Plight
Wolves have an atrocious reputation amongst the human population. People don’t understand why exactly we, and other creatures, need them around. Granted, they aren’t the sweetest creatures to roam the earth, but that’s what evolution intended for them. Wolves are extraordinary creatures, they play a key role in balancing out the ecosystem in which they live, they were killed off by people, and yet, the ecosystems they were taken from weren’t saved. Wolves shouldn’t be eradicated, they should be saved.

I'm not afraid to be such a "tough" girl
It's not that I don't want to be spoiled, it's that I'm afraid of disappointment. It's not that you don't want to be spoiled, it's that you lack objects.

Second Hand Social Media (and the Power of Libraries)
I was sitting in a branch of the Toronto Public Library, studying. A girl sat across from me. And for the 2 hours that we shared a table before she left, her study materials served only as a placemat for her cell phone as she scrolled through her Instagram feed without pause. I was once her so I do not judge; I just needed a way to introduce my argument.

How Do Dental Probiotics Work?
Dental probiotics help maintain a healthy oral flora, or good bacteria. Because the mouth is a hostile environment for bacteria, it often leads to plaque (a biofilm) formation. This plaque forms a home for bacteria. When the oral flora is healthy, the bacteria that make up the biofilm remain in balance. If the balance becomes imbalanced, unhealthy bacteria will begin to overtake the healthy probiotics. This can happen in the folds of the tongue or pockets of the gums.
