Goodbye Trump
Dear Trump, Let's start this letter by thanking you for what you have done with your four years as the office of the President of the United States of America. You don't get any of the credit you deserve. And the media continues to drag your name through the mud. You have done so much for our country but it seems everybody could care less. Our economy is booming and has never been stronger. You were blamed for the stock market crash last year but we were in the midst of a pandemic and no one could have prevented what happened. Even though the pandemic is not over the stock market is back to soaring before you leave the office of the President of the United States of America. You have been labeled as a racist and yet the unemployment for minorities has never been lower than what it was before the pandemic where people lost their jobs in large amounts. Thank you for working to make the American people thrive by bringing jobs to America and not driving them away. I will never understand why these past few weeks you have been under attack by big tech after all you did for them. People hated you for your support towards large corporations now everyone stands with them to be against you. I hope as Americans we can learn to admit when someone from an opposite standpoint from us does something that is good. I am tired of America's two-party system which yes you did play a part in so you have become part of the problem. But you also disrupted this system by saying what you think and not caring about the normality of politics.

Be Inspired
So if you clicked on this, I assume you want to write music or express yourself in some other creative manner. If this is the case, I hope you will read this and not just read the words I have written but take them and apply what you have read to your life today. I want you to pursue this passion for music that is inside of you. Maybe it's not music that is a burning passion in you but something else. That is okay because this post can still encourage you. My goal is to encourage you to the point you will reach for your goals with everything you have.

Snow Day
I woke up this morning to a winter wonderland outside. These frigid temperatures and the snow-covered ground have me reminiscing about my childhood and the fun we would have any time it snowed. I remember being so excited when there was even a chance of snow, especially on a weekday. If we even had a slight chance to get a snow day that would make little me's whole week much more exciting! Sometimes I wish I could return to a time when everything was much more simple. Where the biggest worries were so minuscule and unimportant. A time where I didn't have to worry about if my choice would screw up the whole rest of my life. Looking at the bigger picture of life, it does not matter who had a crush on who back in middle school. Looking back now, it does not even matter who the smartest kid in class was or if you always had your homework in on time. Yes, those things are important and if you are still in school try to do your work on time and do your best in your classes but remember the world won't end if you slip up once or twice.

The Space Pebble Purchase
It's not every day you get the opportunity to buy something so unique and rare you didn't even know it existed. This is exactly what happened one summer day and the whole reason for me to tell you this story. This story is about a guy named Jimmy. It was an ordinary Friday afternoon for Jimmy and he was casually wandering around his local pawn shop seeing if there were any cool deals. He was a sucker for old unique collectible items and spent a few hours every week going through pawnshops to see if there was anything cool he could snag. This week seemed like it was going to be a disappointment, nothing seemed to stand out to Jimmy and it looked like he was going to have to go home empty-handed. Just as he was about to leave the final store he planned on visiting that day something odd caught his eye.

Whoa, That's Cool
We live in what is probably the fastest moving and most connected time in all of our planet’s history. If you are anything like me you probably have taken living on this planet for granted at least once and most likely don't really think about how amazing the things we have really are. If you are reading this you have an amazing life, one that probably surpasses most other human’s in our history. Yes, I know you most likely have struggles and hardships that you go through and your life is far from perfect. However, compared to what others in the past and even today go through you are very well off. Just think of it like this you are connected to the entire world within just a few presses of buttons and have access to any piece of knowledge you could ever need or want. Now think about if just one person had that kinda information 100 years ago. It would be mind-blowing, but now we don't even take the time to think about what we really have.

The Rescue
This is part 2 of the story if you haven't read part 1 check it out here. It was a normal day for Mike. Nothing stood out as exceptional except for his imagination as to what was going to happen this weekend. He and his wife had this amazing trip planned to this cute little cabin in the middle of the woods. They were planning to leave once she finished her final shift of the week at the library. They lived in a small town and she was the only person who was on staff at their local library so she couldn't get off work early but this weekend the library was going to be closed so they could go on a much-needed vacation. It was going to be a much-needed getaway for the couple to connect again and hopefully spark the love that they once had for each other. It had been a trying couple of months and Mike wanted to spend more time with his wife. He was counting the minutes until Susan would walk through their front door and their weekend together could finally begin. The hands of the clock seemed to move extra slow today as they did anytime something fun and exciting was approaching.

How You Can Support Your Favorite Indie Artist in 2021
I think we can all agree that calling 2020 a rough year would be the understatement of the century. The world was turned upside down people lost their jobs, loved ones, and even their hope. The entertainment industry took a huge hit and was wiped to the floor and KOed. It is probably going to take years for a full recovering to live events and entertainment and this includes music. Artists really learned to struggle this past year. Our goal for 2021 as a label is to help indie artists, who are new to the music industry, begin to make their mark in this messed up industry. I wanted to start this year by giving you three ways you can help your favorite local artist or indie artists that you love. The first two are completely free for you to do and extremely simple and won’t take you much time at all. The third one won’t necessarily cost you any extra money either since most people already pay for a streaming service and there are even free versions you can get to listen to music. Here is Roses as Humans list of ways to help artists:

The Librarians Nightmare
It was a normal Friday night for Susan. She worked at the local library and she was just finishing up prepping the library to close for the weekend. She had placed the last book back into its place on the shelf and was finishing her routine cleaning off the shelves of any dust and trash that was left behind by those sloppy school-age kids that came in after school to finish any homework before the weekend fun they were all about to have. Everything was quiet and seemed so peaceful maybe even a little too peaceful. Something seemed a bit unsettling to Susan and she had this odd feeling in the pit of her stomach that she was being watched. She tried to ignore it and continued to go about her business. She was very excited to leave because once she was finished here she had an exciting weekend planned with her husband that she was looking forward to. Susan and her husband had a weekend trip out to a cabin planned and it was going to be one fun, romantic getaway. A much-needed break from the everyday hustle they both were living. A librarian job may seem so easy but it was a constant grid because it was a small library in a small town and there was no money to hire more help. She had to do all of the cleanings, checking books in and out, maintenance, and every other job that must happen to keep a library open every day.

Love
Some people love Valentine's day and have spectacular acts of love planned out for months in advance and they count the days until they can go crazy for their loved ones. Yet there are others that dread the day and cannot wait until the celebrations of love are over. Why is it that people have such a different reaction to this day? Why are some people so filled with a passion that they must fulfill and want to express themselves to others while some people just want to get through the day without being noticed? Neither person is better than the other and we all see life through a different pair of eyes. Try to put yourself into the other person's shoes before you judge them on how they see this holiday. There are scars that begin to hurt when people see others continually falling in love with another human. They wish that it could be them falling in love but they once again spend a valentines day alone. We are all unique and in a special place in our own life. I think we all view Valentine's day in the wrong way. It has become a commercial holiday of Love. But do we really celebrate true love or just are fantasies of what we really want love to be.

Why You Should Live Stream
So you are a content creator and want to grow your fan base and reach more people but do not know where to start. Connecting with people and building relationships is the most important part of influencing others and sharing your creations with strangers. This sounds way easier than it may be though, so don't worry if it takes some time to build a following. If you want to have strangers come back to you and view more of your content you are going to need to connect with them and add value to their life. Unfortunately, we live in a world where people are selfish and don't want to help others. Knowing this we can build a strategy around helping people and make them feel like it is all about them.

Sessions Part 1: Wes
We have all gone through tough situations in life but what defines us is how we get through them not that we went through them. We are not our issues and do not need to be defined by them. However, our issues do make us into the people we are today and how we respond to them can have a major impact on our lives, whether for good or for bad. You can probably relate to this project because we all go through difficult situations in life. If not please share your secret with us on how you have a perfectly happy life. Whether with friends, family, mental health, or any other challenges that may arise we all have struggles we deal with in our lives.
