This could be your sign
I’m currently Airbnb-hopping throughout America and spent the last 5 weeks in Boise, Idaho. Here’s a short list of the key ingredients that will make it your next destination.
- Nature AF. Boise boasts a massive collection of giant green grassy parks and wide rivers. All of them are dog friendly as well which made it even more fun. Most of them are on-leash but no one really enforces the leash law. …
One second I’m walking my dog with my girlfriend complaining about a mild stomach ache, the next second I’m blind, deaf, and collapsing under the weight of my body.
Glued to the ground, unable to hear or see my girlfriend screaming and crying, all I can manage to mutter is “I’m okay, I’m okay,” because for me it was strangely peaceful to surrender to the sensation of my body shutting down. The silence and darkness that engulfed me was everything I’ve imagined reaching a deep state of meditation might resemble.
However, I had forgotten that my body had decided to…
They say the greater the stench the bigger the reward
A cornerstone of the human experience is seeking to become one’s highest self; essentially, being a better person. However it is often difficult to achieve this given that humans tend to follow the herd and do what’s comfortable and routine which rarely yields significant growth. Therefore it has become apparent that we must find unconventional methods to increase our self worth, confidence, and general goodness as a human being, and picking up dog poop is becoming increasingly popular as a means to achieve this.
5 Reasons Why Picking Up Dog Poop Makes You A Better Human

Writing through writer’s block
Resistance is a web of doubt spiders spin in simple minds
Complicating ruminating thoughts like a maze
Trapping travelers in an endless daze
.
Resistance is a cloud of confusion storm chasers find
Whipping their heads in different directions
Hoping to center on peaceful perfections
.
Resistance is the notion of not having enough time
Lost in an ocean of numbers that lie
Chasing the clock that circles the sky
.
Resistance is the temptation of a bottle of wine
A fantasy created to mix up the bored
An idea that’s better when written not poured

Resistance is denying…
Story of my life
I’m a peaceful hurricane
My thoughts drive me insane
Incessantly bashing my brain
Jumping from idea to idea
Faster than a grasshopper on crack
Flowing like verbal diarrhea
I swear I’m under attack
…Sit back and relax…
Break down the emotional stacks
I meditate like a gamer digging for hacks
Closing my eyes I drop into space
Diving deeper my heart slows its pace
I crash into walls
The mind’s stormy layers
But patience isn’t a race
I climb each one slowly, a meticulous player
Searching for the eye buried deep in my face
It’s here where I lie
The…
A poem to free you of your past
I saw a six year old child
Barely smiled
He saw me and quickly looked down
Heart racing
Thoughts pacing
Eyes pretending to study the ground
I asked why is this
The emotion you choose
With a sigh he mumbled
“Just look at my shoes”
I said they look pretty cool
“They didn’t think so at school”
Well kids are mean, just try not to care
“But how do I ignore everyone’s stare”
See your shoes are a reflection of the uniqueness in you
They get you attention since they’re something new
What makes you stand out is nothing to…
How to play the gratitude game
I used to hate being alive. My heart was an empty cup that would remain empty no matter how much garbage I would fill it up with. I tried filling my cup with alcohol, exercise, drugs, food, movies, games, hiking, social media, pep talks in the mirror, art, music, sleep, meditation, healthy food trends, fake smiles, and forced conversations. But it all felt meaningless until I started playing the gratitude game.
My life completely changed when I gave up the pursuit of happiness and began to seek peace through gratitude instead. I’ve found that seeking happiness only creates a deeper…
