My thoughts on the media we consume every day. One of the things that I hate the most is repetitiveness. In songs, in books, in movies, you name it! If it’s repeated too many times whether its a singular word or a situation, it drives me mad. For me, media is meant there not justContinue reading “The Importance of Originality”

“Always act in accordance with the dictates of your conscience…and chance the consequences”
How we must begin to live our lives in order to find true peace and consequences. I know, it’s a long title, but it’s a quote that I suddenly remembered this week that kept coming to mind- so it felt appropriate to use it as the title for this post. This quote comes from oneContinue reading ““Always act in accordance with the dictates of your conscience…and chance the consequences””
Time is Relative and Attitude is Everything
Looking at just how baffling and frustrating the passage of time can be when seen through our mind’s eye. It’s funny how different two days can seem from one another- one day each minute can feel like it is flying by while the next each minute can feel like an eternity. Sometimes, this depends onContinue reading “Time is Relative and Attitude is Everything”
The Pull of Nostalgia
Pondering on just why nostalgia exists and how it is so strong in our lives. Nostalgia is an idea and mood that is often referenced in our lives as we grow older, but rarely do we actually stop and ponder the word itself. Just what is Nostalgia and why is it so prevalent in ourContinue reading “The Pull of Nostalgia”
The Remnants of Childhood
The traits we gain as children and hold onto as we go through life. Something that has been on my mind a lot this week in my interactions at work is how adults and children really aren’t that different after all. We teach that adults are mature, wise, and fair, yet that is more theContinue reading “The Remnants of Childhood”
All Things in Moderation
The importance of balance within our own world and within our own minds. Something occurred to me today that I haven’t truly thought about personally in a long time: the influence that the media you consume can have on your state of mind and attitude. This remembrance was like an epiphany for me when itContinue reading “All Things in Moderation”
Self-Awareness and the Evolution of Tolerance
Looking at the effect social interaction can have on each of us throughout life and how important it is for each of us to pay attention to and measure our own capacity for social connections. Life is a cycle of interactions- every moment of every day we are coming in contact with someone else, whetherContinue reading “Self-Awareness and the Evolution of Tolerance”
Finding Meaning in Life’s Impermanence
Pondering on the idea of reincarnation and the importance of a life well-lived. Something that has always fascinated me is the idea of reincarnation. When I was at University gaining my Bachelor’s Degree in History, minor in English, I ended up taking a lot of classes from a teacher whose PhD was in Buddhism. DueContinue reading “Finding Meaning in Life’s Impermanence”
What Stands At Our Core
Wonderings on the various things that make up each of us, that encapsulate the life’s we choose to live. How well do we take care of ourselves? Life is a chaotic and crazy mess of obligations and goals, major and minor, every single day. We often find ourselves going and going from place to placeContinue reading “What Stands At Our Core”
The Melodic Storms That Stories Can Create
The reality that exists between Author and Reader and how that gap can create inherent division. I’m going to try not to make this a rant, but I have a lot of emotions right now regarding a story that I started reading yesterday and I have to get them out somehow or I’m going toContinue reading “The Melodic Storms That Stories Can Create”
