The day after your death, the sun still surprisingly came up and shone down onto the cold and blue horizon. There were no loud noises, no yelling, no more crying, no shattering glass. Just silence and sunlight. Your body looked so still; muscles no longer singing, chest no longer rising and falling; your skin as […]

Immigration: Not for the Faint of Heart

Posted on May 12, 2018May 11, 2018 by Zéandri Rautenbach

Humanity has a component that has yet to be named — something inside each and every one of us that is never satisfied and always wants something else, something more, that you believe to be better. That’s only until you have it, of course; because once you do have it, you want the next thing […]

As we draw towards the closing end of 2017, I’m proud to find our society, in general, becoming less stigmatized towards mental health issues.

Keegan Allen is a 30-year-old actor/singer/songwriter, but most importantly, he is a photographer.

You Are Powerful

Posted on May 15, 2017Jun 28, 2017 by Hannah Green

We, as humans, are powerful. We are so, so powerful. I mean, with all the resources we have, we potentially have the ability to do anything. Think about it. It may sound cool, but it is also dangerous. One false move sends us packing, and we are off to jail. One false move makes us […]
