I Tried Meditation and Fell Asleep
Introduction The goal of meditation is to bring inner peace, clarity, and insight. But for me, it just brought deep, uninterrupted sleep. When I first decided to try meditation, I had high hopes that I would become more mindful, have less stress, and maybe even discover some of my own wisdom. I, on the other hand, kept drifting off into dreamland. At first, I thought I was doing something wrong. However, it turned out that my unintentional nap gave me a completely new perspective on meditation, relaxation, and what it really means to be mindful. The Decision to Meditate

This Adventure Bites
My mouth opens, releasing the pungent smell of the incubated breath from the past 6 hours. Tortilla, processed cheese, chili, and other nom-noms from the previous night’s gathering. My stomach may be happy, but my nose scrunches with disdain. Dizziness circles my head while I reach for my swirly blue-colored toothbrush, my only weapon to combat the budding halitosis. Squeezing the toothpaste on the bristle, a routine I do every morning, a small gruff voice interrupts me.

The Mundane and the Fabulous
I’m mopping the lobby like it called me fat in high school. If I scrub hard enough, maybe I can erase not just the stains but the entire sorry existence of the Sandstone Suites—this motel-shaped purgatory where hope checks in and dignity sneaks out with the minibar.

Something in the Air
The moment that he felt the wind touch his face, he knew that they were going to take him out. The tunnel was dark for most of his walk, but Morgan thought that it would go on and on for as long as he needed it. The ground felt stable and it was easy to just walk and walk until he saw a pinprick of light leading to somewhere he knew he wanted to get to; that was why he was here.

My Favorite Bottle
When I was six or seven years old, my mother, father, sister, brother and our neighbours went on a memorable trip. It was the first time I had witnessed a waterfall in real life, and I was left in wonder. It was so beautiful that (in my child brain) it was as if clouds were raining from the blue sky overhead. The waterfall was named Bopath Falls, and it was a place I would never forget.
