Writers Suck

Being a writer sucks.Edit: If you're not going to read the whole thing, please stop now. If you're not completely informed about the entire situation, don't jump to conclusions and try to offer advice that doesn't actually relate to the final questions. If you actually care...Thank you. I'd appreciate any help I can get at this point.Writers don't make any money at all. We make about a dollar....

Make Your Mark

I've recently had a chance to think about compassion from a couple different angles.The other day, on the way home from the cottage, I noticed a coyote that had recently become a hit and run victim.

Better to hit an animal than...

Christmas Lists

Dear Santa,My parents and I recently discussed our Christmas wish lists. It was a short discussion, because all of us said that we have enough stuff already, and we didn't really need or want anything else. Actually, I'm going to ask my mom to mend a few loose buttons on my jacket. It would take me ages, but she's an ace with a needle and thread. That aside, I'll be happy to enjoy a week with my...

Like the Sun

I know. I run. And I'm sorry. It's taken quite a bit of time for me to even slow down. But today, I admitted that, even though I'm terrified beyond measure, this is more than nothing. That this is something.We've written many songs together, but for this precious moment...I love you. You are my sun <3I tried to hide from youBut I failedI tried to lie to youBut how I failedAnd even in my darkest...

When You Call Me "Beautiful"...

I'm sorrythat when you call me beautiful,I fight it.I believe you when you call me beautiful, but I fight it because I feel stupid for believing you.I dont want you to know I believe you.It's hard for me to explain but I don't think I'm the only one that feels this way.Girls are told all the time they are beautiful. Or they should be.Unfortunately, they are also told all the time they are ugly.And...

A Message for Leaders

I've been involved in an organization called Peel Students Presidents' Coucil (PSPC) ever since I attended their conference, Odyssey '07, last year.It was such an amazing experience, and I recently returned from the Compass '08 conference this year (yes, it's an annual thing).Inbetween the games, the cheers, the sessions, the people, and the overall insanity of it all, a few thoughts occurred to...
