5 Lessons We Learned from Albert Einstein
Many of us remember and Albert Einstein as the scientist with crazy hair who developed the Theory of Relativity. However, his thinking and discussion went beyond physics. He was given several honorary degrees including Medicine and Philosophy. His knowledge didn't stop or start at physics. He was someone who was willing to sit with uncomfortable problems until they are solved.

3 of My Favorite Ways to Make Money On the Side
1. TEACH Do you have a skill that might be useful to someone else? Are you an experienced graphic designing, or can you write well professionally? If yes you could write and design your own online course on things like Skillshare, Udemy, and Teachable. If you already have a decent camera, whether in your computer or otherwise, this is even more perfect for you.

Loving the Addict; Not the Addiction.
Drugs makes me angry. I find myself personifying them like some anti-drug cartoon they show you in elementary school. I see needles hopping into peoples veins, digging themselves between peoples toes as they unknowingly fall into a high. I see cocaine pretending to be pixie sticks luring our children in for a lick. I see pills mistaken for candy. But in reality, I am angry at the addict. I am angry at the addict because I love the addict, just not their addiction.

Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng; a book review
I'll admit I started the first episode of the Hulu series " Little Fires Everywhere" before I started the book. To be honest, the series didn't draw me in and the characters seemed standoff-ish. None the less I started the boo. Maybe if I had continued the series Hulu series I would have saw the depth of the characters that I saw in the books, but I doubt it. These characters didn't fall flat nor were they perfect. Every what seemed to be one unjustifiable act after another,there was also the subtle explanation of their fears and their fragile humanity.

S.L Gray: and the Things That Couldn't Be Written About
S.L Gray is a poet and author. Her book is on Amazon at Skin, Bones, and Too Much Love. Her honesty in her answers is something to be admired in an artist and in a human being. I asked her to let me interview her after reading her poetry and following her for a few weeks. I had to know more about her words, where they came from, what her spark was, and what makes her wheels go round and what breaks her.

Love Letters To Olympia and A Story With Romantic Poetics
When I first came across the Instagram poet Love Letters To Olympia, I was attracted to it by the rawness of her work. It was nice to have something you can completely relate to even if I couldn't relate to the situation it was written about. She also has an interesting habit of leaving notes with her poetry on them in cities she is in. You can understand why I was ecstatic when she agreed to answer a few questions.

Things That Helped Me Overcome Insecurity and Anxiety
1. Own it before anyone else can point it out. Make joke about your hairy arms, nose, or calling a lot to make sure everything is okay. We are beautifully flawed but there is no problem with that. There is nothing wrong with having bump in your nose. If you do, own every bit of that bump or weird birthmark or wide feet. Your "flaws" (and I use the word "flaws" very loosely) is what makes you you. No one can be you or your flaws. Owning it doesn't just help you but others with the same insecurity.
