Extreme Perseverance and How I Still Had to Quit

Hello, everyone.

Here are some thoughts and reflections that apparently keep me awake at night, and if I do fall asleep follow me into my dreams.

Of course it’s university.

This is a bit of a rant, so I hope it’s not too hard to follow along…

Music Therapy Samples: Sublime

Hi everyone.

It’s been a little while. In my other life, we had parties every weekend one winter, and Sublime was the soundtrack. Any of their songs, any order, any number of replays.

I lost a dear friend recently. So this music therapy is a sample that makes me think of those gatherings we had. It’s just one track, but we listened to Sublime’s entire catalogue that winter.

In Response to Losing Anthony Bourdain

Hi there,

Anthony Bourdain was a lot of people’s favourite person. He introduced a lot of wonderful ideas to this world, and I really appreciate him for it. The world’s loss of good old Uncle Tony has brought out a lot of emotions for many people, but it’s also helped continue an important conversation…

I am privileged in a plethora of ways. The vast majority of world issues do not affect me directly, I am very aware of my privileges in that sense. Unless you have a giant pair of horse blinders connected to rose coloured glasses, I think it’s impossible not to be overwhelmed by the world we live in…

Saying Goodbye to My BSc.

Before this new and different life of mine, I was studying for my Bachelor of Science (BSc.). I was lucky enough that I fell in love with my Cellular Molecular Biology major.

Before I developed CRPS, I was a regular student worrying about my grades, and trying to figure out my next step.

I know the education I was receiving was a privilege in many ways. Now I know that studying for my BSc. was a physical privilege as well. A physical privilege that I no longer have.
