Vaccinate or Vacillate
Let me be clear, I am not wanting to tell you what to do with your bodies. Seriously. You need to make your own decisions but there is a lot of misinformation out there and it's confusing. Right? I think it's fairly safe to say that we all know we are living through a pandemic. I don't like to make generalisations but unless you've been living alone on a remote island or off chasing unicorns somewhere, you're aware that life has been slightly off-kilter for the last 14 months or so. I am just trying to navigate around all the conflicting arguments and counter arguments to find a truth that I can live with.

Our Other Self
Dreams, typically, are fun and exciting. I've always looked forward to nighttime when I was a child because that meant it was almost time to drift off into the dream world. I could be riding on top of an airplane, flying through the sky. I could be climbing a huge mountain, or getting a new doll on Christmas Day. The possibilities are, literally, endless.

Is Your Sickness Psychological?
Were you feeling ill before or after a diagnosis? “I wouldn’t need a diagnosis if I wasn’t feeling ill to begin with.” Well fine, did you start feeling WORSE before or after the diagnosis? Or are you a hypochondriac like me? Do you self diagnose after looking up a few of your symptoms on Google? Now all of sudden it makes sense that you have mitochondrial colon disease and you should expect to live for three weeks before you die and come back to die again. I know, a bit dramatic, but that’s the point.

My Covid Diary
My Covid Diary Jan 8: Day 1 Crap! Just got my Covid test results back ... POSITIVE! I have followed all the guidelines - social distancing, small social bubble, frequent hand washing, wear a mask in public, only go out for essentials. I only got tested because my friend Kyle had a positive test yesterday. We’re both single and formed a small social bubble last year. My Mom will have to be tested since I have visited her to help out.

Everything Comes at a Price
Kyrra I found it in the gutter — a soggy black notebook with raised gold bands and an impossibly smooth cover. I carefully smoothed open the first page to see five words scrawled in whimsical, delicate script across it: Everything comes at a price.

Dream Lucid
The narrator often looks at a story in the third person. A two way mirror between the experience and the exercise of control over it. A lucid dream allows that narrator to perceive the world as he sees fit while also accepting the boundaries placed by his own indoctrination. “This is already too heavy. Even if I read 2 pages a minute like a turtle, I’d still have to start this book from the beginning.” He turns the small black book upside down and places it open on his desk because a bookmark is a sign of unfinished thought. It’s the same reason he always ends on even numbered pages. As his eyes readjust to the blueish hue of the fluorescent lamp, he turns to peak at the written note on the wall where his bed is firmly pressed against. The instructions read “One. Picture yourself standing inside of a dark room where all the walls are painted black”. He goes to lay down, making sure his window is wide open, for the cold air sleeps well with him. He checks his phone's alarm settings to make sure it goes off in 6 hours. Right before he turns off his lamp, quickly glancing at the note one last time, and he says in his head “Two. Ask yourself Am I dreaming?” He closes his eyes. This room seems to create a deafening inner ear blare only heard in silence. Opening his eyes, he stares at this black wall in a room that seems to move further and further away from him. He closes his eyes again and repeats the instructions over and over. “Ok, black room, Am I dreaming, look at hands, engage with objects, manifest objects, check the time, pinch your nose.” He quickly grabs his nose but he doesn’t feel his hand touch them. “I’m breathing fine, yes! Ok, let’s go.” He starts jogging down the corridor looking left and right until he sees a window then rushes toward it. He places his forehead against the glass to peer inside. “This feels soft like my pillow” he thought feeling the glass warp due to the force of his pressing. “There it is” he said. He opens the window and climbs through it.
