A Request for Father Christmas
Dear Father Christmas, I understand that you are very busy at this time. Fitting as much as you can in your sack in order to fly around the world and provide joy and love to all the children of this world. The problem for me is that not every child is happy. Families are broken and all across the face of the earth, people are crying out in pain.

My 9/11 Socks
I'm one of those men who have a hundred pairs of socks in the sock drawer, some new, some old, most in various states of disrepair. Most men don't spend more than two seconds thinking about holes in their socks as they put them on… they call them their "Sunday Socks" and they move on because no one’s going to see them through their shoes. When I open my sock drawer, I wonder if the pair I take out is one of my 9/11 socks, and if it is possible that I still have any more of them.

The Magic in a Sharpened Pencil
We can find inspiration in everything. Pain too. We can let everything get under our skin if we dawn on it for long enough, and the thought of it can make it appear that that’s more of a weakness than a strength, but the power and drive of inspiration makes up for every single piece of it that can make us feel two feet tall. The days we feel it’s strength will always weigh out even the heaviest of the weaknesses.

For those dealing with the break-up of a 'situationship'
I have piles of journals all stacked in boxes and placed neatly around my tiny apartment. Years of turmoil fill the pages. Angry chicken scratches that detail my financial woes, but predominantly, nearly every page is littered with details of my love life.

I Do Not Have a Photo With My Best Friend of 22 Years
I met her for the first time in third grade. Little me found an empty spot at the back of the classroom right next to her. I was sure she didn’t like me. In third grade, she would have thought I was a bitch. And that’s how all great friendships begin.

Is Your Relationship Karmic, Soulmate, or Twin Flame?
Have you found your soulmate? Or are you stuck in a karmic relationship? The soul chooses varying relationships to help with growth, learning, evolving. No relationship is “bad” as far as the soul is concerned. While we may all want to find “the one” the truth is, even karmic relationships can feel like the one at the time because we need to learn the lessons they bring us.
