  • Charlie Kirk

    We’ve seen it repeatedly: the desire to topple a regime out of anger. Revolution. How many times has there been a plan for what was to come after? From the rubble, we just continue the cycle of projecting our trauma and pain, and we do the same shit over again. Can we try something different?…

  • the mirror of erised

    Say what you want about JK Rowling (just, please, not in my comments), but HP isn’t something I can just dislodge from my heart. My childhood was what it was, and Harry essentially grew up alongside me as I was going through some less-than-whimsical life events. My mom had bought me the third book at…

  • you don’t know me at all

    This is a recollection of one person’s perspective on real lived events. This person is a human, so all things that are applicable for a human are applicable for this person: they are imperfect, they literally cannot know everything, and emotions are almost always at play. In fact, please remember these facts in regards to…

  • what we’re really asking for

    When I was growing up, any time I had the opportunity to make a wish, I’d always wish for the same thing: “I wish I could fly.” It’s not really the kind of wish that the universe can grant for a human, and I think I knew that. But every chance I’d get for a…

  • perspective is err thang

    Everyone has heard that “perspective is everything.” I do wonder how many people take advantage of this truth. It’s a huge part of healing and the, on the surface, “simple” mechanism behind Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Change your thoughts ➜ change your attitude ➜ change your life. Your perspective colors the entire way you see and…

  • breaking the mold

    I remember feeling in high school like I could never really nail down my “identity.” I felt like I was always molding to whoever I was around, just trying to fit in. I don’t know how much of that was just being a teenager, but I was definitely under the impression that other people had…

  • we all wear masks

    I rewatched The Truman Show this week. I’m a little embarrassed that the “Truman” pun went over my head until I started writing about this, but here we are. The show takes place in our lil society where the public has gotten to a point of being so jaded with our traditional forms of entertainment,…
