How ‘The Rules’ Gave Me Better Self Esteem. Top Story - August 2023.
When I was younger I had problems getting dates. I kept watching everyone around me coupling up and it made me feel like there was something wrong with me. I’m kind of an open book when it comes to my feelings, so my friends and family would often see me moping about it. They’d dispense advice like that old Supremes song. You can’t hurry love…

Compass Flame. Runner-Up in Book Club Challenge.
Fourth grade was a weird year for me. It led to other weird years, which have made up my life up to this point. For context, I have an older brother. When he aged into middle school, we had to switch our school campus. All of the people I knew and the halls I had spent hours and hours in were switched. I left my friends, got glasses, and attended class with a new group of 20ish kids who all knew each other since they were in kindergarten.

Book Clubs I Have Not Joined
Is this what book clubs look like I think to myself as I look at pictures of book clubs. I know there is an Oprah book club with suggestions about what to read. But then I think about how I never have trouble knowing what I wish to read.

Anne of Green Gables
The book that changed my life the most was Anne of Green Gable by Lucy Maud Montgomery. This book gave me the courage to be me and helped shape me into the writer I am today. Anne, with an E, helped me understand that there was life after mortal embarrassment. This book is one I encouraged both my children to read.

I DID NOT ASK TO BE HERE.
Is it preferable not to have existed? Some people think it would be better if there was no conscious life at all. The philosophical position known as antinatalism holds that procreation constitutes moral evil. Therefore, we ought to steer clear of it. Some antinatalists believe that just humans should stop having children, while others argue that it would have been better for all sentient beings if they had never existed. But isn't it wrong to be against childbirth? Why would somebody be opposed to the development of new life? David Benatar is one of the most well-known antinatalist thinkers of our time. Instead, Not to Have Been, one of the books he wrote, contains a thorough explanation of his antinatalist beliefs. Benatar contends that creating new sentient life is always evil because doing so causes grave harm. Therefore, the most beneficial thing we may do for our future offspring is to avoid procreation because those who haven't been born aren't subject to the pain of life. His antinatalist stance is, therefore, not motivated by a dislike for sentient creatures. It is motivated by compassion because it wants to stop the inevitable misery of being born. Antinatalism is a contentious issue that conflicts with many people's worldviews. The general public likely opposes antinatalism since they view it as misanthropic. After all, isn't destroying all sentient life to alleviate suffering a bit harsh?
