I’m floating in an endless expanse of space.
I’m falling down from the roof of the apartment.

I don’t know my name or face anymore. I can’t remember how or when it happened. I don’t even know if it did. I can’t remember the beginning or the end.

My dearest Alex,
From the way you smile, to the way your gaze softens when I laugh, there is something about you that is not quite like anything I’ve ever seen. When you hold my hand, it feels like the threads of all my wounds are pulled shut. Every nerve in me lights up, just like your eyes do when you talk about what excites you.

I strolled down a pathway of leaves, hand in hand with the wind. This valley, secluded from the rest of the world, is formed from opposite rows of trees, standing as fleets moored to the earth and unshaken against the herald of battle ushered in by the breeze. As I drifted down carelessly, a gust of frenzied wind sprung from behind. The wind, once my companion, snaked its way out of my hand, and right then, whispered the news of a distant deluge approaching from above.

A man was leaning against a lamppost. He held a burning cigar between his fingers, and a hat pulled low over his face. He was dressed all in black: black pants, black shirt, and a black jacket. He casually stood with one ankle crossed over the other. He looked like trouble, as if his attire wasn’t a good enough hint.

“Why don’t you go up and clean the attic?” My mother suggests after another stream of my insistent complaints. “You might find something you like.”

Everyone knows Christmas is the season of giving, but that doesn’t have to be bound to just your family and friends, donate to those in need as well! This Christmas season, spread the joy by participating in our Chaplaincy council’s Christmas Baskets donation drive. In our continued school efforts to uplift the community and assist the less fortunate, we have another charity event. However, rather than only donating food, this time we will be contributing hygiene products as well.

With tons more jobs being created, it seems like getting employed should be simple! False. Getting employed these days is harder than ever: there are impossible ATS’s (AI software used to simplify the recruitment process), endless rounds of interviews for the lucky few, constant disrespect from recruiters, entry-level jobs requiring 2-3 years of experience, etc. Understandably, youth are as frustrated as ever, often questioning, “How are we supposed to get experience if nobody is willing to give us any?” With so many eager and talented youth ready to get into the workforce, it’s a shame that youth employment in Canada has been at its lowest for over a decade.
