What do you think when you hear a person suffers from depression? You may not think much of what it takes to crawl out of that darkness if you have never experienced it yourself.
Observations
An open letter to parents…
An open ended letter from teenagers to parents. Speaking as a teenager these are some things that I believe all teenagers want their parents to know, however they have no clue how to tell them. I, myself, am a 17 year old woman, and about to begin my senior year of high school. That being … Read more
Are we dead yet?
So this is the day that the world is supposed to end. If you are reading this, then it would appear that the Mayan’s were off a little or the joke was right, they simply ran out of room on the stone that they were using. If the world has ended… then there is no … Read more
With the best of intents…
How often have you ever been talking to a person that you have not seen in a while, then upon parting, you make that commitment that we all, or at least many of us, renege on? I do not think that we intend to lie to a person when we tell them that we will … Read more

Maybe Salvidore Dali was right!

The art of being nice.
Being nice. It’s not as hard as it sounds, really. But if you watch people today, many of them would seem like either they do not remember how to, or chose not to be nice to others. Where I see the best examples of this is in the retail arena. Working retail is hard enough, … Read more
