Beginning of this school year, my teacher advertised a poster about joining backstage/props and set crew for the fall play. I thought why not and joined, as it needed no experience and I needed more extracurriculars. I gained new friends, a newfound passion for theatre, and the love of a cute boy who likes theatre as much as I do! I would've never met my boyfriend if i hadn't impulsively joined--and I feel lucky pretty much every day that i did

Shout out to the guy at the supermarket the other day who patted me on the shoulder and said, "You're going to be ok." He had no way of knowing that I suffer from chronic depression, and that I'm in a dark place at the moment. He just thought I looked sad or empty or whatever and took a moment to remind me that it's ok to be human. It was nothing to him, but in that moment it was everything for me.

Solar is already one of the cheapest forms of energy humanity has ever created, and it's still getting cheaper.
