The correct way to go about it is to keep both the alphabets capitalized. Should you capitalize it? Or is it used with periods or without? Some even question whether any trailing punctuations are important to use after PS. You may have questions popping in your mind regarding the punctuation rules of PS. And while its roots trace back to ancient times, it still comes in handy today. It saved people from time-consuming do-overs and allowed space for afterthoughts and missed details. The inclusion of postscript played an essential role back then. You could either rewrite the entire letter or add a PS section after completing the letter to include any forgotten ideas. In case they missed any important details or information, there was no way to go back and insert information. We assume you have heard the famous song PS I Love You on the Beatles’ 1963 album, but where did it actually originate from? Unlike today, backspacing was not an option when people would write letters. This is because it is an afterthought that usually serves the purpose of an addendum. Traditionally, PS is an abbreviation that should be used after the main body or context of any written piece. It translates to ‘written after’ in the English language, in the sense that ‘post’ means after and ‘scriptum’ means writing. It is short for the Latin word, ‘post scriptum,’ meaning ‘post script’. But what does it mean? It is a super common acronym that we use as part of our everyday language. From casual chats to formal emails, you may have seen people write ‘ PS’ in various forms of text communication. The grinning, wounded villain of Tesfaye’s songs is a heavily compromised figure but not a half-hearted one.Īnd yet, sinking into a couch in his cavernous living room, he acknowledged some apprehension about this next career leap. In all cases, he has turned his primary subjects-shame, dissolution, seduction-over and over, fusing glitter and chaos. Within a few years he was seeking full-on global pop success, and it led him to a string of number one hits, stadium tours, and a Super Bowl performance. As the lore goes, he dropped out of his Toronto high school, dragged his mattress out of his mother’s apartment, and held a job folding T-shirts at American Apparel while a post on the blog for Drake’s label stoked his initial hype. His tendency toward grandeur, evident early on, belied his station. In 2010, when he began anonymously releasing music as The Weeknd on YouTube, Tesfaye developed a cult of personality around his self-obfuscation, partly out of necessity. It’s an appealing framing device for Tesfaye, and one he’s turned to himself as he’s become one of a handful of monoculture-style pop stars left. Photograph by Mark Seliger Styled by Matthew Henson.

That has been my journey for the past 20 + years. To be present! No ceremony or spells required. The hard part was to work on not allowing my pain body to overcome me and to continue to be conscious of it consistently. It was one of the most profound moments in my personal growth. My father and brother were both tortured with their mind. The relief I had from finally knowing I wasn’t crazy! My pain-body was overtaking me most of the time. I felt tortured because I was being tortured. It took a bit of time, but when I got to the part of the Pain Body and how my mind wanted to continue to feed it with obsessive thoughts and memories of past pain, I realized that was what was going on. As I started reading it, I noticed my mind was resisting it. I’d not heard of Eckhart Tolle, I’d read Neale Donald Walsh, Don Miguel Ruiz, and Depok Chopra. Then right before I was to travel to Tuscon, AZ for a firewalking ceremony, I received the book The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. I thought ceremonies would change my thinking I tried psychic readings, ceremonies, healers, crystals, and witchcraft spells. No matter how many books on spirituality, I read. I couldn’t seem to quiet it no matter how much meditation I did. I still was plagued by an overactive mind that kept me in a loop of overthinking and worry. I had begun the journey into self-realization. At that time in my life, I had released my attachment to the religion I grew up with and opened my mind to new views. Eckhart Tolle changed my life when I was given the book The Power of Now as a gift.
