Saying

A New View“The world has never been so wide,” I whisper. Hugo barks in reply. I laugh and rub his head. Stargazing is a new practice for me, having lived in a city for much of my life, but this is amazing.“We’ve been missing out, Hugo.” I say seriously, looking down at my dog. He…

My personal journey about mental health has been a long one. I’ve been in and out of therapy since a very young age and I’m pretty heavily medicated for depression/anxiety. I live with the guilt of what I did to myself, what I put my parents through. I was only 11/12. I had thoughts I…

While I agree with the article, in that the U.S has some issues that would not make a U.S version of “old enough” wise or safe, I also feel like kids especially in the U.S don’t get enough credit. Modern parenting has become more controlling than ever. Parents track their kids constantly, as well as…

This image depicts the reality of how exhausting life can be at times, bringing light to a struggle we all know. From an outsider’s point of view, you do not know exactly what the man is going through, but it is obvious that something he is experiencing in his life is weighing him down, withering…

I feel disappointed that countries who claim to value progression are still using century-old tactics for gaining power and control over independent states. It shows that agreements between countries for peace and civil discussion do not take value over a leader’s own wants and desires, no matter how many disagree with them. This also makes…

Haitian restaurants in Miami are special in so many other ways; besides the fresh food and welcoming atmosphere, they are filled with Haitian pride. The most obvious place to go for Haitian cuisine in Miami is the Little Haiti neighborhood (north of downtown) and North Miami (near West Dixie Highway). I would absolutely recommend Chef…
