Creativity is Found, not Forced.

If you have artist's block, or writer's block, or whoever's block, do not worry. It will come back to you. The trick is that you don't force yourself to be creativity, that just doesn't really work. Just by doing the things that you love will inspire you, and eventually you'll have so much creative muse you won't know what to do with all of it!

Vibes #1

There are a lot, and I mean A LOT, of things that inspire me. I see something and sort of interpret it however it is that I want to interpret it, and sort of create an image in my head of what sort of room it would be in or what sort of person would wear it and who that person would be friends with and talk to. It becomes my own, in a way. I just have to like it. So this is going to be a little series where I showcase images that I've collected that show things that inspire me in some way or another. It's more for my own personal reference, but maybe you can find some enjoyment in it as well!

Intrepid Magazine is currently looking for user-generated submissions. This can be anything from art to photographs to writing, or basically anything you want to share.

Oh, Canada

As you might know, I live in Canada. As much as I would love to travel, I don't think I'd really love to permanently live somewhere else. I'd definitely stay somewhere else for a few weeks or months, maybe even a year, but I don't think I would permanently stay in another country unless I really fell in love with the place.

Songs for Winter: Part II

Here's a continuation of my last little playlist, Songs for Winter, so that you can enjoy even more music with that wintery, nostalgic sound we all know and love.

I Don't Belong to Anyone: The Importance of Marina Diamandis


Marina Diamandis (or Marina and the Diamonds), is one of my personal heroes. Yeah, yeah, go ahead, act all shocked and surprised. The thing is though, she is beautiful (AND CURVY!), self-expressive, and let's just take a look at what her music does real quick here. 

Jack of All Trades, Master of None

Right now, my answer when people ask me what I want to do after high school is "be a jack of all trades." For some reason, this just doesn't cut it. Because I guess 'following your dreams' stops being relevant when you become a teenager, along with 'doing anything you put your mind to' and 'believing in yourself.'
