How many of you know individuals who have quietly battled through a mental illness? How many of those individuals are yourselves? Having a mental illness can be as detrimental to your health just as much as a physical illness can. Your mental health is important and it’s about time the stigma around your unhealthy organ (aka your…
1 out of every 5 Canadians will personally experience a mental health illness in their lifetime. That amounts to 20% of the population – a whole lot of people!

Movie soundtracks and scores are usually so fitting for the film, it’s as if there was never really any other reason this song was made, than for the film itself, (that’s…
Movies are probably the best thing. I’m ridiculously passionate about the emotions that films provoke. So… if I could get any more pretentious, I think it’s important that everyone experiences one film they will absolutely love with a burning desire.
