Live Who You Are, Love What You Do.
My tumblr feed had a reblog that led to a lovely post on livejournal (Pause for a quick ?!? Did you guys know livejournal still existed AND that people still use it? Cause I didn’t.) about a young girl asking this particular blogger if she should follow her own impulses/wants/dreams for her college (and really, life) experience or if she should suck it up and go to the type of school...

Is it redundant to say I love this? Because I love this.

This was in my email this morning. →
I have to admit, I didn’t hate that it exists. Being vegan on this holiday - or any holiday, really - kind of blows. My family is not the type to embrace change or anything nontraditional so a vegan holiday meal is out of the question. However, after answering endless questions over the past 16 years about my eating habits, at least the confusion and jokes have settled down. And one day,...

Why My Friends Are Amazing
I just got wind of this little press release. Do you see that beautiful man in the photo? That is Sean Patrick Doyle, a human being I’m honored to be friends with. You know the type of people in your life who just make you want to be a better person? He is totally in the category for me. He inspires me, encourages me, lets me disappear for weeks at a time and is honestly the best person...

Have you read 29 Gifts by Cami Walker? I found it staring at me in my local library a few months ago when I had hit one of the lowest points of my life and I honestly believe it’s part of the reason I started to piece myself back together again. In the book, Cami writes of how she was…

A Dancing Heart.
I took a tour of Juilliard today. Just a little more proof that I really am doing this. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been there before but I felt so at home, I found myself leading the group despite not knowing where we were going yet. I watched the kids there with their parents, hiding shyly behind them, fidgeting with their hair, completely silent the entire time. I had to...

TOO MUCH AWESOME // PERFORMANCE BLOGGING →

Dear The Internet,
It’s me, your buddy Ronen. (The dude with the crazy red hair.)
Back in the old days (circa 2007-8) I used to not post for weeks at a time, then suddenly spend a whole day posting 100s of pics, vids, and writing until I hit the daily upload limit. (“Dashboard rape”, someone once called it, before unfollowing me.) The smarter thing to do is to spread stuff out....

Subconscious Donuts.
Ever since I moved back into my actual room in my childhood house (I had been staying in my sister’s room since she doesn’t live here anymore and has a much larger room) I have been having some crazy dreams. Most of them have been nightmares but all of them have been super odd. I’m pretty sure this is because:
A) I’m finally comfortable enough to sleep really well which...

THE ESSENTIAL MAN: More On Happiness →

Allen and Violet Large, both in their 70s, won $11.2 million in the July 14 Lotto 649 draw, but instead of spending their new found fortune on lavish gifts they decided to hand it over to friends, charities and hospitals. “What you’ve never had, you never miss,” Violet, 78, told the Canadian…
