By Carlinha on March 27, 2017 / 2,283 views

Ever since I was a kid I had a 6 second rule. That means that if I had something I needed to do but didn't want to, I'd count till 6 and do it anyway. My personal rule was to just never ever break that rule, that at 6, I HAD to get it going. Most of the time I'd use it to get out of bed or get out of the bath. Sometimes I'd also use it to restrict my time playing "ok in 6...

Anything you...

Keep Fighting

Don't allow the negative things in your life to discount the positive ones. Don't let a bad day or month or year make you feel like you have a bad life.

You may be struggling, but there is still so much to keep fighting for — there is still so much more to life than this pain. And...

Life, Love, And Tough Choices

By Anonymous on March 24, 2017 / 2,090 views

When I was younger, I used to think that love was like a Disney movie. At first seemed hard, but they got better and never got bad again. I thought as a little kid that relationships were easy, and everyone would like us, and that nothing was bad in the world. Boy was I in for a rude awakening. We all want to think that everything is perfect, we all want to think that the world is a good place and that all...

Today I made the mistake of turning the news on. I found my senses instantly assaulted with stories of fighting politicians, corrupt corporations, and countless crimes. It seemed like the only news worth showing was mankind at its very worst. It seemed like the only thing they wanted to talk about was what went wrong today. After a few minutes I turned the television back off. I poured myself a...

The sun was just coming up over the mountains today as I took my dogs for their morning walk. I smiled as I watched the purple, pink and red clouds slowly turn to white and gold.

After work one day, I decided to grab a pizza for dinner at the mall. As I was heading home, I saw a girl sitting against a pillar in the mall, her hair covered over her face and her body was frail, frailer than a senior citizen. I decided to walk past her because that's what we do in society - we walk past people we don't know, especially homeless people. It's easier that way when we don't...
