It’s been a full week now since I’ve been into my office, and I’m already feeling the effects of working from home full-time. Some of them were things I anticipated; others caught me by surprise. Here are a few things I learned from my time at home.

You know how snakes and lizards shed their skin in order to grow? I’m starting to think that people do that too. We’re prone to feeling stuck in our own skin, our current life situation, and it can start to feel claustrophobic after a while.

The term masculinity has somewhat of a negative connotation in today’s society: it’s usually accompanied by the word “toxic,” and conjures up outdated imagery of a Schwarzenegger-esque macho man who closes himself off emotionally and always has the right answer to everything.

Many of us were taught growing up that debt was the devil. It didn’t matter what kind of debt it was – if you had debt, the best thing you could do was pay it off as quickly as possible.

The news of Neil Peart’s passing shook my family to its core. We’re a musical bunch, and given Rush is my dad’s favourite band by far, it goes without saying that the band’s music was a staple in our household growing up. As a result, their music provided a soundtrack for my childhood and teenage years, and has had a significant impact on my life.
