Yesterday I took part in a Friday for Future protest in Hannover, Germany. It’s a worldwide movement that was started in 2018 by Greta Thurnberg, whom you probably might have heard of. It was the schoolchildren that made their first stand. It takes incredible courage for these kids to stand up, loo…
Have you ever felt like time was moving too fast? These last few years felt like a blur to me. And there’s no better time to be reminded about the passage of time than your birthday. Going through another revolution of our planet around the sun, a cosmic phenomena that’s too grand for our brains to…
In 1977, a historic event unfolded as NASA launched the famous Voyager spacecrafts into space. Voyager 1 and 2 will become the farthest man-made things ever to reach into the impossibly vast depths of space. Their original mission was to reach the faraway celestial objects of our solar system and t…
All over Europe now, we are experiencing heat waves. It’s been happening more often lately, and it’s getting hotter each and every time. This is the direct cause of the man-made climate change that scientists have been warning us about for decades now. And it’s not just a regular “warmer than usual…
When you’ve been living in one place for a while, doing the same things everyday, you start settling into a comfortable routine. And it can be very hard when you want to change or improve your regular routine, because it’s been baked into your subconscious over many years. I’ve always had a problem…
It’s been a couple of weeks since I’ve moved to Germany, and it’s still hard to believe that I’m actually here, more than ten thousand miles away from home, where I’ve lived for all of my life. It’s crazy to think that I’ve only had the thought less than a year before. And for all the preparations…

You could have given up, but you kept on going. You could have seen obstacles, but you called them adventures. You could have called them weeds, but instead you called them wildflowers. You could have died a caterpillar, but you fought on to be a butterfly. You could have denied yourself goodness,…
I'll be happy once I've done this certain thing. We all say this often, not realizing what it brings. We look only to the future for our happiness, Letting life slip through our fingers in its fullness. Will we really feel complete when the task is done or look back and see how we missed so much fu…
If you awake to one more dreary day, an empty heart with empty hours to kill, remember brighter skies are on their way. A breath of air can blow the clouds away; thoughts, like clouds, can drift aloft at will, if you awake to one more dreary day. If some stubborn clouds should decide to stay, their…
If you want a thing bad enough To go out and fight for it, Work day and night for it, Give up your time and your peace and your sleep for it If only desire of it Makes you quite mad enough Never to tire of it, Makes you hold all other things tawdry and cheap for it If life seems all empty and usele…
I've always viewed life from the side lines, Just watching it passing me by. In the past, too afraid to just let go and live, And lately too tired to try. I've envied the people around me So invested in living each day, While I spent my time hiding out from the world And searching for ways to escap…
