Letters to My Younger Self
No trigger warnings are required. Letter #1: April 2016 Dear Miranda, You’re only a few years away from the end of your teenage years. You are nearly 17 years old. 16 going on 17. Oh, geez, on the edge of seventeen or entering the dancing queen year? These have not always been the easiest years of your life. You’ve been bullied. You’ve had crushes. Your crushes haven’t liked you back. You thought you loved someone and you thought that person loved and then they turned out to be a jerk. You’ve tried to fit in by listening to rap and hip hop but hated that music. You tried to listen to a lot of newer music but hated that too. You’ve been stressed out. You’ve been sleep deprived. You’ve also had some great times. Through the highs and lows you’ve experienced throughout these years you’ve still survived. You never went through with your suicidal thoughts. This has been a great time of learning for you.

My Own Kind
Today, I am completely spiraling. Why today, out of all my days? I have had 22 years to feel exactly this. That is, 8030 days to be specific. And, never has anything ripped through my impenetrable outer shell and pierced my psyche like this.

It is unfortunate, but there are self-identifiers that set off red flags when speaking to males: “I’m a feminist.” “I’m a nice guy.”

Coffee Thoughts - the Challenge
Self-improvement is a currently trending topic, which is good, because a lot of us are depressed as f***. One of the key aspects that seems to be associated within the self-improvement movement is rooted within challenges. We can easily compare these “challenges” to goals, however, “goals” never sounds as intimidating or exciting as a “challenge”. Imagine if you were to be invited on a quest (yes - we are all fantasy characters now, just roll with it). Would you be more apt to join someone who asked, “hey, I have a couple of goals to complete so that we can overthrow the villain, would you like to join?” Or, would you be more likely to join someone who asked, “I am on a treacherous quest, you may join me, if you can handle the challenge.”

Daily Reflections
Out of the Trying Sham and into the Fryer There are five enemies to fryer oil: Oxygen, Water, Heat, Salt and Soap. Each one can rapidly deteriorate oil quality and hence, the taste and quality of the food fried in that oil. It is an odd irony that each of these five is essential for the human body. Okay, soap is not essential, but certainly useful for maintenance. Perhaps we should avoid ingesting something that these essential things attack as a biochemical imperative.

To The Heart
They say the world is made up of colorful, red passion, gray confusion, orange passion, blue elegance, white purity, and black fear in the patchwork, constituting the colorful life, but you are stubbornly saying that the world is black and white, can never be colorful tone, and even you think that occasionally a small wave, it is enough to make your original black and white world completely dark. So you can't see anything, you just keep groping in the darkness, groping forward, to find your piece of white.

Nothing Makes Me Choose to Be Strong
In the face of life, in the face of frustration, in the face of nothing, I understand the bitterness and helplessness of life. The first thing you need to do is to look at the moonlight and look at the lights, there is always a little bit of guilt in your heart, time does not return, the years are lost in the night sky, and we are waiting for something, waiting for nothingness and uncertainty, waiting for the gift of death, but we are in existence to survive, to seek the so-called living.

If love Blooms, Beauty Will Come
The years go by, the seasons dance, unknowingly, the light footsteps of time, have strolled the city of summer. The light wind, sweeping through the branches of the years, gently ruffled the curtains of summer.
