Anything, but Ordinary

I’ve been working in retail and customer service since I was old enough to get a job. As much as it seems like it’s an easy job, it’s harder than it looks. With someone who has a hard time connecting with people, customer service isn’t the type of job I want to do for the rest of my life. I’ve been wanting to get out of that type of industry for years, but with retail being the only thing I know how to do, getting out is even harder. I’ve been told to go back to school, but

If I’m being honest, there are things that I would love to do, but I’m afraid to do. I don’t know if it's an aspergers thing or if I’m just scared of the outcome. When I think about things I’ve done like youtube, I think about how that was a failure. I was excited about finally finding a platform where I could be myself and be able to show my interests and make friends etc, but overtime it went nowhere. I developed nothing from it and I was disappointed because I knew that wh

I’ve always wanted kids. It’s the one thing in the world that I’ve always wanted, but I’ve found myself especially over the last couple of years that I’m never going to have them. I’ve imagined that at this point in my life, I would at least have one child, but as time goes on, I feel like that dream isn’t going to happen. I watch everyone around me getting married and starting families. I want to be part of that. I can’t be around people who have kids because it reminds me

I’ve always wanted to write a book. I have so many ideas, but it’s hard to put those stories into words. I’ve told people that I was going to start writing a book, but it never really turned into anything. I would be really into it for a couple weeks then I’ll stop and never go back to it. I know it’s something I want to do; it’s just getting started and sticking with it. I have to find a way to make it happen and I can’t talk myself out of it. I keep telling myself that it’

On April 6, 2018, a tragic accident happened in Armley, Saskatchewan. Sixteen people lost their lives, and many were injured. Everyone involved were part of the Humboldt Broncos, a junior ice hockey team, either as players or worked as staff. The crash made its way around the world and many famous figures paid their respects. There were vigils and tributes. People left a hockey stick outside of their front doors. Within days, $15 million was raised on a GoFundMe page. The me

I have a hard time connecting with people. I thought that online dating would be a good way for me to get out of my comfort zone and meet people who I thought I would never meet in person. I’ve been on and off dating apps since July of last year. At one point, I was on three apps at the same time. Out of all three of them, I got nothing. I’m starting to think it’s me and not the apps themselves. I don’t understand how someone can meet someone within hours of signing up when

Social media is used for various reasons. It can be used for business, pleasure, or a way to pass the time. Everyone has a reason why they’re online. Depending on how you look at it, some people are against it. What you put online stays online, but there are other people who make a living by being online. When I started to use social media, I thought it was going to be a way for me to make friends. I would be able to share my interests with other people. I had started a YouT

Brandon. July 29, 1989 - February 1, 2006. When I was in grade 9, I became stage manager of the junior play at my high school and during rehearsals; I got to know the cast and crew. Every year, the same group of actors came back to be in the plays. We would hang out in the theatre, either rehearsing or doing set design. There was one cast member named Brandon, who I began to take a liking to because he had talent. Acting was easy for him and as time went on I didn't know he

When I started my first blog in 2009, I thought I was going to make a living off what I wrote. I thought within a few months, I would have a small following of people who would like and comment on my posts. I thought I would meet people and make friends. I was wrong. I had my first blog for 11 years and it never took off. Towards the end, I had given up on it because I knew that it wasn’t going anywhere, and I felt like I was writing just for the hell of it. Nobody was readin

Every writer is different, every writer has a different story to tell. Everyone wants to write for a reason and with purpose, but there are things that writers should know when it comes to wanting to write full time and for the rest of their lives. It’s not an easy thing especially if you want to become successful. It’s Going To Take Time Are you writing because you think it’s easy? Do you think you can write something, post it online and hope that it will go viral? If you th
