By: Gabriela Yareliz “You want a meaningful life? Everything you do, matters. Everything.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson When I read the quote above by JBP, I nodded. I have always seen life this way.

Slow
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Slow down.” I saw this phrase on a kombucha cap, a card somewhere, a song— this has been everywhere, lately. In a highly caffeinated world (where we run with cups of caffeine instead of sitting with them), we are reminded to slow down. When we slow down, we have more time toContinue reading “Slow”
Unreasonable
By: Gabriela Yareliz Is the world run by sex-addicts, adulterers, and pedophiles? As time passes, it really does feel like it. **Cue song “I Need a Hero”** Even our most revered historical figures have some insane histories. The MLK Jr. files revealed what was often rumored about the minister and civil rights activist. It wasn’tContinue reading “Unreasonable”
Crane Chemistry
“The clearest sign of intellectual chemistry isn’t agreeing with someone. It’s enjoying your disagreements with them.

I watched this person sort of stunned at the level of panic. People are so afraidContinue reading “Do It”
Disgust
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am a vomiter. If I am not feeing well, one of the first signs is I am nauseated. As someone with a sensitive stomach, it’s a familiar feeling. When one studies conscientiousness in psychology, one hears about the element of disgust. I found this interesting. When we think of disgust, weContinue reading “Disgust”
