By: Gabriela Yareliz “If you believe you can completely map your partner, then you do not really know that person. […] A real relationship is a wrestling match; it is a grappling phenomenon from which you both emerge transformed.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson The truth is none of us is static.

The Best
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this quote, and I thought to myself— we often think “What’s the worst that could happen?” And sometimes, this is a good tool to spur us to action anyway. But what would happen if we thought, “What’s the best that could happen?” Would things be different?
Team USA
By: Gabriela Yareliz We have been watching hockey’s Four Nations Face Off (rooting for team USA, of course). 🇺🇸 Last night, USA played Canada. Canada booed our national anthem, and shortly after that moment, USA beat up the Canada team both literally (gloves off) and also, we annihilated them in the game. We are currentlyContinue reading “Team USA”
How To Be Happy In Pain
By: Gabriela Yareliz Reading Jane Austen is upsetting, sometimes. The author had such a sad life, but she made sure to give her characters happy endings. It just isn’t real. I heard recently that one of our greatest sources of unhappiness is when we fight reality. As humans, we do this a lot. We holdContinue reading “How To Be Happy In Pain”

Ugly
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to the Antonio Brown and Theo Von podcast episode on This Past Weekend with Theo Von. Theo was talking about how he saw a random recording someone took of him, and they called him ugly. Antonio went on to say that ugly means “swaggy.” “Watch this ugly mf getContinue reading “Ugly”
Monday On The Train
By: Gabriela Yareliz The train does not smell good. Reminds me of clients who would come to court on drugs. Their hot breath on your face as you try to reason a decision with them. There is a large husky dog approaching a terrified man playing Kendrick Lamar on his phone (doing his own half-timeContinue reading “Monday On The Train”
Secrets
By: Gabriela Yareliz If you have watched enough of The Office, you know Scranton has one stripper. She shows up dressed like a nurse to help give a charity check, and she shows up in other ways at Dunder Mifflin. She says, “Secrets secrets are no fun. Secrets secrets hurt someone.” This scene came toContinue reading “Secrets”
