South Star

The opposite of a North Star. Anything that guides you away from your goals, life purpose, or the best that is in you. It could be addiction or bad habits. It could be the wrong people. It could be hanging on to false or malignant hopes. Whatever it is, it will make your life go south. (Pun intended).
If you follow your south star, your life's natural trajectory is downward.

Christiana

A dark horse. An onion that won't make you cry. A walking contradiction in all the best ways. Shy around new people, but has a presence whenever walking into a room. She has a wonderful child like playfulness and sincerity, in spite of surviving terrible things. Incredibly creative and gifted in a variety of arts, but also able to approach subjects with the methodical objectivity of a scientist. Finds the prospect of asking out a cute guy absolutely terrifying, but can keep calm and go into "save the day" mode in life or death situations.
A Christiana is someone you want on your side when shit hits the fan.

Some people talk a big game. Christianas don't talk at all. Seeing what they do, is like watching a fictional trope of the quiet genius or secret badass, come to life. Certain things come so intuitively for them....it's like they're not even aware of what they're capable of.

Great Horned Owl

Do I have resting bitch face, or am I just a bitch that needs rest? I was up all night you know.

Loyalty

Loyalty is basically the word "investment" but with an opinion or point of view attached.

Loyalty is treated like a virtue, but it can't inherently be one, by itself. Case in point: People in hate groups are very loyal. So is someone with Stockholm Syndrome.

Investing your time and energy in a person or idea, over time...is a completely neutral act without a who, what or why attached.
Loyalty is such a dubious, perspective based word. It's right up there with "honor". Other virtues like love and honesty, are intrinsically valuable even if you love or are honest with the wrong person. This is not the case with loyalty. Being loyal to the wrong people is often based on fear, codependence, or the "birds of a feather" principle.

Puff the Magic Dragon

An asthmatic baby dragon that wheezes small puffs of fire. Just wants to make friends, but ends up accidently burning stuff down, when he forgets his inhaler. The last time was at a furniture store. His friend was really looking forward to that sofa set. It was so soft before it was crispy.
Puff the magic dragon is seriously over having asthma.

Puff the magic dragon wishes he got his name listening to Bob Marley and smoking a bowl instead. He thinks that sounds nice.

Road

(1.) A path previously laid out by someone else, to arrive at a destination or goal.

(Can be either physical or existential, literal or metaphorical).

(2.) A metaphor for the journey of the life, death, or existence in general.

(3.) A point of access, connection or intersection, in a larger system. (Can refer to the structure of actual roadways, or anything that resembles that structure…(like veins/arteries in the human body, or the branches/roots of a tree).

(4.) A particular method or approach, to learning or doing something.
(1.) If you take the strictest definition of road vs. street…A street is supposed to imply buildings and addresses, either public or private. And a road is supposed to emphasize a means of travel.

(This gets kind of confusing and weird when you consider people live on both streets and roads. However, you’ll notice a highway is never called a street. It’s always a road.)

(2.) The road to hell is paved with good intentions.

(3.) Veins are like the local roads of the human body. Arteries are like major highways. And blood vessels are like small residential streets.

(4.) (A.) The road to Michael’s heart, is his stomach. Better work on that Lasagna.

(B.) The road to learning, isn’t the same for anybody. The most effective teachers tap into their students’ individual motivations and learning styles.
