Each person has their own personality, but the way one acts today might be the result of what that person learned while growing up. One person can change another’s life in a variety of ways; a simple sentence from someone important to you can change your worldview completely. Other people’s influence is forever present in our daily lives, but only one is the most influential person in my life: my dad. Since the first moment I came into this world,...

Whenever I ask my husband if he wants to go on a camping trip for the weekend, I get this concerned look from him that says ‘please not again’. Then he very quickly reminds me of the may long weekend about four years ago, when he totally wanted to grab me by the neck and squeeze the life out of me.

I consider her not only the most influential individual in my childhood, but of my entire life so far. My parents...

As I cleaned every corner of the room, I came across a piano. It was rather filthy and dusty, so I began my duty of cleaning, turning the keys pure white.

The piano was rusty and small, but that didn’t stop me from playing it. From that day on I would go to the...

Flying across with the wind, letting it carry me across the vast greenery. The vivid green mustard plants set ablaze with hypnotizing yellow-colored petals from its flowers. I run across the dirt, slipping and having reality smacking me with awake from the daydream, in which I flew with the wind, as I held on to my friend for dear life. We did not stop.

Hey, do you remember our first meeting? The first meeting you had in mind is probably different from mine. My first meeting with you was on that rainy day in April. You remember that I love the rain but I never told you the reason behind it. I didn’t have a particular fondness for rain, it just seems so gloomy, so dark. For some reason, that day, I just wanted to look outside of the window. So the 10 years...

Perhaps the most fulfilling human emotion is that of liberty. In a society burdened by the monotonous droning of everyday life, a sense of freedom might be the most empowering feeling in existence. Every urbanized city I’ve lived in, from grand Toronto to unimposing Champaign, has left me with the opposite; a constricting claustrophobic feeling. Even aspects of my life that are almost unanimously considered for the better of society never satisfied me, namely technology. Unlike my colleagues, as I’ve...
