What My “Main Character Summer” Taught Me

Ask, and the universe will deliver — The thing is… I’ve never felt like the main character in my own life. I’ve been the funny best friend, the weird and quirky side character, the manic pixie dream girl, but never the main character. Most of the time, though, I’ve felt like an NPC (Non-Playing Character). I can’t…

Meditating My Way Out of Comparison

Using mindful thinking to stop the cycle of negative feedback — People compare themselves to each other. I don’t know if it’s an evolutionary thing or something we’ve conditioned ourselves to do over the course of thousands of years. But, it’s something we do. It’s not inherently a bad thing, as it helps us learn where we need to improve ourselves…

Girl, Let Go

A note to myself on learning to surrender control — I screwed up. I mean, I massively screwed up. I blindly trampled over someone’s boundaries and really hurt them. Not to mention I felt awful and made myself look terrible — which isn’t the point. I was fortunate enough to be given an opportunity to apologize in the moment (I…

Skills I’m Teaching Myself Because It’s the End of the World

And I feel fine! — Alright, so maybe the sky isn’t falling or the Earth hasn’t cracked in half and swallowed us whole, but things are getting harder. …

Staying Positive in the Digital World

What to do when the algorithm is trying to ruin your day — I don’t know what has been going on with Medium lately. I used to find my feed filled with informative and insightful articles. Now the insightful and informative articles are peppered sparsely in between click-bait and surprisingly problematic content. Medium was a place where I came to be inspired and…

It Might be Time to “Fix” Canada Day

Between Indigenous genocide and the Freedom Convoy, something needs to change — After Canada’s capital city was occupied for three weeks by angry truckers allegedly fighting for “freedom” from the COVID-19 restrictions that were going to be lifted anyway — it was thinly veiled white nationalism at its finest — I’ve been very wary of anyone flying Canadian flags, especially if there’s…

Want to Be Happier? Stay Off the Internet!

I was having such a nice time until I spent time on the web — The title of this article is obvious and self-explanatory, but hear me out: TikTok aesthetic trends and who’s too old for them. The Depp vs. Heard defamation trial and who’s the actual abuser. Whether Sweden (and Scandinavia in general) is a white supremacist mecca because they don’t feed house guests. …

My Main Character Summer

It’s about damn time… — As of this week, I’m officially unemployed and it’s terrifying. I’ve already felt like a burden to my family by not being able to afford to move out of my parents’ house while trying to pursue my writing — yes, with their support and a part-time job. But, with the…

I’m Ready to Do Something Else Now

Reconciling my writing career — I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was about 15 years old. That’s when I decided to look at going to post-secondary schools for a creative writing degree. In fact, my writing dream goes back farther than 15. My first foray into writing was a 20-page werewolf romance that…

Let’s Be Human Beings, Not Consumers

An argument against the commodification of our lives — I’m tired of being a consumer! I want to be a human being! This was the last two sentences of a comment I wrote on an incredible article written by Jessica Wildfire about the commodification of “laziness” or the difference between how rich people are allowed to take time for…
