My Favourite Books of 2021
No.1: The Midnight Library- Matt Haig Usually being more of a nonfiction reader I was reluctant to delve into this book. I’d never heard anything about it, never read anything by the author before, and was simply going off a recommendation- but oh boy I was glad I did.

Our First Married Christmas
When I said "I do" three months ago, I knew that everything was changing for the better. I got to marry my best friend! I know I wasn't the first person in the entire world to do it, but when our friend, our officiant, said, "you may kiss the bride", I felt like we were the only two people on the planet.

How Plants Perfectly Describe The Human Experience
At times it seems as if the world was designed solely to guide us to self-understanding. We're able to see ourselves in everything and conversely everything within ourselves. Through observation and meditation - the world completes us.

A Request for Father Christmas
Dear Father Christmas, I understand that you are very busy at this time. Fitting as much as you can in your sack in order to fly around the world and provide joy and love to all the children of this world. The problem for me is that not every child is happy. Families are broken and all across the face of the earth, people are crying out in pain.

My 9/11 Socks
I'm one of those men who have a hundred pairs of socks in the sock drawer, some new, some old, most in various states of disrepair. Most men don't spend more than two seconds thinking about holes in their socks as they put them on… they call them their "Sunday Socks" and they move on because no one’s going to see them through their shoes. When I open my sock drawer, I wonder if the pair I take out is one of my 9/11 socks, and if it is possible that I still have any more of them.

Ghosting is Just a Fancy Word for Emotional Abuse.
He said, "Good night, Skye" and that was the last I heard from him…three weeks ago. My serious boyfriend who had just sworn to me the night before that he still wanted our relationship even though he had moved to another state (we were planning for me to move there), just up and quit talking to me out of nowhere after a very small disagreement…

The Best Thing I've Done for My Heart is Disconnect from Unavailable Men
I have wasted too much energy on many beautiful men who have walked into my life, especially the most recent one. It embarrasses me to tell you how long I felt for this person, so I won't mention it.

The Magic in a Sharpened Pencil
We can find inspiration in everything. Pain too. We can let everything get under our skin if we dawn on it for long enough, and the thought of it can make it appear that that’s more of a weakness than a strength, but the power and drive of inspiration makes up for every single piece of it that can make us feel two feet tall. The days we feel it’s strength will always weigh out even the heaviest of the weaknesses.

The Art of Being Rejected for Single People
The Pain of Being Rejected Being rejected is one of the most painful things we’d ever experience in life. To be rejected is to be made an outcast. To be rejected is to be judged as unlovable and unworthy of belonging to someone.
