A look into the effects we have on the people we know and our environments In life, we often spend too much of our time focused on survival and not enough time focused on the greater picture. Well, when I say that, I mean “we” as a species. I spend far too much time contemplating…

A Full Breakdown on The Concept of Respect If I ask you why you follow someone blindly, why you believe in them, and why you do what they ask without question, the reason would likely be because you respect them. Respect is a valuable, delicate hypothetical item. It’s something we hold dear. Part of what…

A few quotes that highlight ambition and some of the things they can teach us Dreaming is something we all do from time to time. Whether it’s by cover of night, tucked into our beds, or sitting at our desk in a class. Our dreams are our heart’s desires and motivate us toward obtaining a…

An introspective on changing oneself and staying changed. I’d like to begin this article with one of my favorite quotes of all time, “When a man is trying to change for the better, the worst thing you could do is keep reminding him of his past.” I don’t know who originally said it, but I…

How is it possible someone can find joy in other people’s pain? It is a question that pops into the mind of any socially conscious person at one point or another. A quandary that plagues generally caring individuals and taints their perspective on humanity as a whole. Well, I’d like to try and take a…

Existential Dread is a common mental trap, but you don’t need to stay trapped. Many people are plagued by the question, “What happens to me after I die?”. I still remember the first time it hit me. I was very young, maybe six or seven, and I asked my dad that very question. He gave…

Fear may not be the most pleasant topic, but it is a highly important one. Since I was little, I have always struggled with fear. I was terrified of just about everything, from the darkness to even simply interacting with my fellow man. Eventually, enough was enough. Fear kept me miserable, barring me from any…

An introspective on growth and the way forward. We spend most of our time thinking, but rarely do we stop to think about our own thinking. Why would we do such a thing? Focus on the mind? It leads to a better understanding of ourselves and the reasons we react to the world around us…

A commentary on society’s urge to go all in, when people should likely fall somewhere in the middle Recently, especially when it comes to social media, society seems to have adapted the idea that you’re either in support of something or completely against it. That kind of thinking often leads to a mob mentality and…

Something that I love to say is, “We all have blind spots in life. Sometimes, we need someone else’s perspective to see things that are blind to us.” And it’s true- perspective is a key element of life that we often overlook, but it’s incredibly important. What we say to people, how we present ourselves,…

Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but it can be changed, right? “I, Malorie, exist as my whole self- physical body and higher self-included. But, perhaps, after this life I will never exist as Malorie again? Maybe my energies will bond with aspects of the energy of others to create a whole new person in…

“We are all connected.” We tend to hear this phrase a lot in movies, see it in the written word and even have it said to us in our daily lives. It gets tossed around a lot, but what does it really mean? We are all connected. How? Well, biologically, human beings are all a part…

Some of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most influential snippets I am of mixed descent, and my mother, who was of African descent, was a big fan of the man, the legendary Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. In my college years, I was fortunate enough to portray a character in a play entitled Southern Cross…

…and My Future in Occult Studies! (Weird World Adventures) It’s been a bit since I’ve brought it up, so I want to take a moment to talk about my baby, Weird World Adventures, and the career path it is leading me down. If you don’t know about my weird travel show yet, you can read…

The title of this article may seem harsh, but I’ve come to rather harsh conclusions after I have had to schedule countless days of job interviews in the last month. I’m here to tell you that even after the influx of job opportunities arising after the pandemic, I don’t think most people actually want to…

And Live in the World You Want to Live In! In today’s time, it’s pretty normal for one to look in on someone else’s life and get jealous or to notice each and every flaw we have in our own lives. Especially with social media being such a prevalent part in our society, it’s hard…

Grief can sneak up on all of us. It’s how we deal with it that defines us. Quarantine has definitely been challenging everyone’s mental stamina. I’m an introvert, so I loved the idea of not having to go out; and then tragedy struck. I lost my best friend, my baby, my beloved cat of 12…

It’s definitely a scary time in the world right now. No one loves quarantine. And one thing is certain: traveling for leisure is pretty much off the table for the next year. I had a big volunteer gig planned in South Africa in May that, of course, could not happen. And my future trip plans…
