Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: Bathroom etiquette: 2 of 7
He tells me he's going to take a shower, and a moment later I hear the door close. The sink faucet turns on, and the ritual begins. The bathroom will be off-limits for almost an hour. Heaven forbid you have to get in there, and I know this first-hand. As I grew up in a family of five, we expanded from a house with a single ba... More..
Relationships & Family > Family Dysfunction Being the adult child of divorced parents: 12 of 31
"Being the adult" is really what it came, and comes down to, with my divorced parents. The first time my mother packed up boxes and said she was leaving, I must have been about six. It took until I was nineteen and had already decided the best thing to do was get out myself before she finally moved. The real reason I moved ou... More..

Celebrations & Holidays > New Year's New Year's resolutions you shouldn't make: 21 of 45
I'm a firm believer in not setting yourself up to fail, which is exactly what New Year's resolutions seem to do to most people. It's a wonderful thought to pick a goal for self-improvement, but why do we have to make it so specific that instead of basking in the opportunities a new year brings, we are setting the grounds for ...

Imagination is one of the best gifts humanity has been given. Think about it: we are the only species that seems to possess this ability to dream up an idea and act to achieve it, or even just plan a potential course of action based on a thought.
