If you're interested in some of my older writings, you can find them on my second blog, The Dustbunny Archives. There are a few movie and music reviews, poems, as well as general musings, such as:  
  • "One Down, Four to Go" — music review
  • "Rose Hues" — poetry
  • "La La Land" — movie review
  • "Child Philosophers" — anecdote
  • "Big Hero 6" — movie review
  • "Millennial Musings" — poetry, social commentary
  • "Pipe Dreams" — poem 
  • "Really, GRAMMYs?" — music review, social commentary
  • "Irrational Man" — movie review 
I'm not planning on adding much else (which is why there is no option to subscribe), but if I stumble across anything I feel like publishing, I'll post it and most likely share via Facebook! :)

The Cinematic Zodiac

Image
You probably know the feeling — the one rising up from the pit of your stomach in distaste as you stumble across some magazine or newspaper column saying that you're  totally incompatible with Leo if you're a Taurus and you should probably  not  go skiing on Wednesday if you're a Pisces (your crush might ask you out by Friday though, so you're good). And even though statements like these are admittedly not completely divorced from astrological theory, it's still enough to make just about anyone cringe. But what if I were to tell you that astrology is so much more than that? Beyond all the generalized, superficial drivel, there's a world of timeless imagery and a wonderfully rich exploration of the human experience — the main premise of which being that there are certain basic tendencies and patterns of behaviour (in other words, archetypes) that can be found in each of us, the evolution of our lives, and the world around us.  "(...) forget everything you t...

Zodiac "New Year" Reflections

Photo Credit: Denys Nevozhai (via Unsplash.com) Did you know that the astrological new year actually starts in March? ;) The Spring Equinox on the 21st kicks off Aries season, the first sign of the zodiac, and with it the start of a whole new developmental cycle in Western astrology! The twelve archetypes walk us through the most fundamental stages of our natural, emotional, mental, and spiritual evolution throughout the year, so it's a perfect time to take a moment to consider all the things they may have been teaching and helping us process since last Spring. During the season of a particular sign, the themes and energy of that archetype become particularly prominent in one way or another—e.g. during Cancer season we might notice more of a focus on family and emotionality, whereas Virgo season brings us back into our daily routines and work lives after the summer holidays.  If we choose to observe both our inner and outer worlds more closely, then, we may notice certain patter...

Lessons From Scorpio Season

Image
This Scorpio season has kind of felt like walking through our own personal haunted house: surrounded by relics of days gone past, the ghosts of our former selves conjure up phantasmic visions, weaving together lie upon lie, until we are caught in a web of harrowing distortion regarding who we really are, what has happened, and where our lives are potentially headed. Often times, we enter this house completely willingly without realizing it—despite the discomfort and anxiety of reliving our worst fears, our minds CHOOSE them because they are familiar. Predictable. And, in that sense, safe. It's in these moments when we feel the ground begin to shake that we actually hold on to our fears for comfort, because, well ... been there, done that, right?    It's a habit that ultimately boils down to a belief that power (or, in this case, empowerment) equals control. However, trying to control things—our environment, ourselves, potential outcomes—in order to remain in our power, is hone...
