I wake up, with a mind that is still my own. But my body, my voice, and purpose has changed. A crowd of people look at me, their eyes expecting something, not of something disappointing, but something meaningful to add to their everyday lives. An advise only given from a great philosopher.
But i’m not a great philosopher. This body and the soul that used to possess it may have been a philosopher,...
We wake up every morning not realizing the sunrise, we go to sleep without looking at the sunset and not even aware of the moonlight, we’re so lost in our thoughts that we don’t realize what is happening around us, we’re to busy to take a moment and look around and contemplate the beauty of life, we’re too busy to take a moment of our life to hear the birds sing in the morning. Why is that? I wake...

Alastair looked out at the crowd, feeling none of the usual dread, his hands steady. He opened his mouth.
“The meaning of life is like being trapped in a dungeon: first you reach into the bucket, then you rub the lotion on your skin, thus avoiding the hose altogether.”
Stunned silence. Then, inexplicably, a solitary clap, which grew in momentum until...

Purpose is something that’s with...
I wake to twinkling sunlight illuminating my room.
I sit up and stretch my arms, yawning and rubbing my eyes as I come to…. In a bed that’s not my own.
Whipping my head side to side, I’m now wide awake and confused as hell. I yank my legs out from under the covers and my heart almost stops. Those legs shouldn’t be attatched to me. I search the room and find a full length mirror hanging on the ...
In the nearest term, each of your - really our- greatest needs of action and reflection are different. Through each journey of discovery, there lies times, one, when it is vital to open your horizons to see what the world has to offer and how your perceptions could all be shattered; and, two, when you must defend your ability to to be willfully blind to ulterior paradigms with clenched knuckles th...
What I would tell the people is that life has so many different meanings. It is meant to be lived to the fullest. It is also meant to be enjoyed. Every people are outside or in doing amazing things. I used to spend almost every day inside. Wether the sun was shining or the rain was falling. But when I met my boyfriend my feelings of how I spend my days changed. Three years into our relationship I ...
… "As I woke up this morning, the weirdest realization came to my mind - I was convinced I was someone else. Which might as well be true for so many of us in this room.
We are walking through our lives, with every single event making it their mission to shaken our beliefs of what is real and what is reflective of our inner selves. Regardless of what clothes, cologne or faces we wear, I hope that ...
