It's pretty easy to feel discouraged when things get tough. Over the past couple years it feels like we've been looking for the light at the end of the tunnel. Every time we start to glimpse something optimistic in the distance, it's quickly snuffed out by yet another terrible world event. At a certain point, you have to stop hoping that something good will happen and create positivity in the present. That can be done by making a list of things you're grateful for, indulging in a little self ca…

Faith in humanity: restored

In the words of Limp Bizkt's Fred Durst, “It's just one of those days.” It's one of those days where you don't want to wake up, everything is f*****, and really, everybody sucks.

There is no way around it: Valentine's Day is a “Hallmark holiday." For those of you who are unfamiliar, Hallmark is a greeting cards brand that has been churning out the corny, pre-packaged sentiments since 1910. The company, which is based in Kansas City, Missouri, is the largest (and oldest) manufacturer of the products in the United States.
