All Systems Red by Martha Wells
Turns out, I'm a Murderbot.
Stop talking to Murderbot about its feelings. It hates it.
While Murderbot resentfully keeps its scientists alive against hostile monsters, questionable corporations and bad guys, the story quietly explores free will, identity, and the awkwardness of existing.
Funny, scrumptious, and disturbingly relatable, this quick read is the perfect sci-fi snack.

When We Were Very Young
In another box set that my parents got me when I was younger contained four books by A.A. Milne. 'When We Were Very Young' is a collection of poems that Milne wrote for his son Christopher Robin. This is a book that is full of references to Mr. Edward Bear, but a lot of the poems give some various descriptions of life of a very young child and where, when, how and why they do what they do. The illustrations are quite cute for you can see what Christopher Robin is and may be thinking. Also, Pooh Bear does make his self-known at various points. I have read these verses many, many times over the years and each time make me feel good about myself.

"Blessed Morning"
It was a serene morning, the kind that made you feel grateful to be alive. The sun was slowly rising, casting a warm glow over the world. The birds were singing their sweet melodies, and a gentle breeze carried the scent of fresh flowers through the air.

The Moon is Full of Drama
I have been taking pictures of the moon for almost 20 years now. That's a long time in photography years. (What are photography years? That will have to be a whole other article). So the statement I am making is, why is the moon full of drama? I guess my reverse question to you is, how could it not be? Look at the picture above for example, this image screams “I am ready for a night out on the town” It has glitz and glam and all the makings for an evening of fun. I took this image as a few different shots, some out of focus of the stars, and then of the moon, blended to give you a feel of depth. It is a fun little photography trick.
