A Series of Fortunate Events
I have always been one to look back in reflection of months and years past. This past year is no exception especially since it has shaped me into who I am at this very moment, typing on my laptop late at night. Like many people out there, I thought I had an idea of what I wanted out of life but like many others, I was still somewhat adrift, searching for some meaningful purpose in life and now that I have finally figured out a couple of paths I wish to continue on in life, I thought I'd share them.

The Houses of the Zodiac: House #2
Do you know what your birth chart says? Or, do you even know what a birth chart is? Your birth chart is based off of the time, location, and date of your birth. At the time when you were born, every planet and star and thing up there in the universe was in a specific place. Doesn't seem like it matters, but it absolutely does. Your birth chart displays where all those planets and stuff were, and this contributes to the magic that is your personality.

Best Self-Help Books for Alcoholics
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), 8.4% of adult men and 4.2% of adult women in the United States suffer from an alcohol abuse disorder—over 9 million men and over 5 million women. Many people with alcohol dependencies and addictions don't even realize it, while others are aware of the signs that they're drinking too much alcohol, but do not change it, whether out of a belief that they can't, or a lack of commitment to the kinds of steps one needs to take to recover.

Genderless
My whole life I’ve just thought some clothes were for boys and some clothes were just for girls. Until high school started and I started to see more and more people dress however they want. Such as on the internet, in school, on the streets, etc. and the more I saw it the more I loved it. I want people to see now that this is the 21st Century and you should be able to dress and look however you want and everyone should just accept it. It's more than just an angry opinion this thought could change the world if you let it.

Feel the Fear and Try to Do It Anyway
So three weeks since I first took the plunge, I am happy to report that I'm still going in and have only actually missed three mornings. It's become a ritual now and even though when I wake up, the prospect of a sea plunge isn't always instantly appealing, by the time I've walked through the fields, woken up, and warmed up, the sea dip halfway is now an essential part of the day.

Do What You Love
Hi, my name is Jonathann Richardson, and I haven’t written anything in a very long time. I believe you should always do what you love. If there’s that one thing you’ve been dying to do, do it! This life is too short to not do things that make you happy. This may be a corny saying, but “everybody dies but not everybody lives.”

The Man Who Seeks to Move a Mountain...
I recently read Shoe Dog by Phil Knight, and The Art of War written by Chinese Military General and Philosopher Sun Tzu. It got me thinking deeply about the way that success and victory, which are of course all subjective to the individual, can be achieved in day-to-day life. Here is what I came up with.
