A Child’s Voice Found Through Intuitive Science
No one really knew what to do for Gracie. The doctors didn’t know what was causing it, so they didn’t know how to treat it. Allergies? At eighteen months old, Gracie couldn’t tell anyone what was going on in her body. She couldn’t explain why her nose ran constantly since she was just a few weeks old. She couldn’t explain why her eyes moved independently of each other, and why the earaches kept coming. Did she need more antibiotics? Special glasses? Tubes in her ears? Different medications?

Tired of Narcolepsy
It first happened sometime during the summer of 2010, during the last lesson of the day. I had my eyes down as I was reading Macbeth in English; the teacher was reading out loud to us all. After a while, my eyes felt heavy, I couldn’t keep them open. The words on the page became suddenly jumbled up. Eventually, the feeling passed and thought nothing of it.

The Q1 Identity Crisis
I can’t think of anyone I know who hasn’t found their 20s to be a tumultuous tidraid of decisions that have ultimately left them feeling uncertain or unfulfilled by the direction their life is taking. This isn’t a feeling that is unceasing throughout the whole decade, there are other jubilant times when everything seems on track, chances taken turn into promising opportunities and friendships and relationships blossom.
