Natalie Nichole SilvestriPublished 2 years ago in HumansRich, Pretty, Lonely: A Film Review
I 100% recommend this movie. I don't love rating movies all that much, maybe one day.

If that's confusing...just keep reading and hopefully you get it by the end.

Danny WingetPublished 2 years ago in HumansRadical Contrarianism Explained
I very much resist labels, especially when it comes to something as complicated as one's "overarching philosophy." That said, when I have been pressed on the question in the past I have used the term radical contrarian to explain one aspect of my philosophical approach to life. I really have no idea if such a philosophical school currently exists or has existed in the past. It definitely shares many aspects of any number of skeptical philosophies, and may in fact be known by another name among philosophers much more competent and knowledgeable than myself. However, for purposes of this piece I intend to ignore all that and try and describe radical contrarianism in my own words and also explain why I find it such a compelling, but also such a painful and alienating approach to life.

The canister had always been there, rolling around at the bottom of his duffle bag. Whenever he packed, his fingers would graze over the smooth, gray top, but he’d never take it out, never look directly at it. Sometimes when he unpacked, the canister would get wound up in a dirty sock or wedged inside a pocket, and it would come up with a handful of laundry as he went to chuck it into the machine. Whenever this happened, Jake would carefully retrieve the black cylinder and tuck it back into the bottom corner of his bag.

bess ThompsonPublished 2 years ago in HumansThe Secret to a Happy Life.
There is something about walking around a busy place after everyone goes home. There is a sense of abandonment. The rush of people hurrying about to get where they are going is gone—even the people sitting and talking about life. The world is empty, and all left is life's bones.
Amber ZajecPublished 2 years ago in HumansWhy Tithing Is Still Relevant
As I child I was raised in church. I played the drums, guitar, piano, organ (occasionally), preached, and was Youth Leader for a time. I eventually got distracted from the bigger picture. I started to let the 'little foxes' (Song of Solomon 2:15) weasel their way into my walk with God. I slowly started to pull away. I stopped paying tithes. I resigned from my position as Youth Leader. It wasn't long after that I stopped worshiping during services. Then finally I stopped coming. Work was the main reason I used to stay out of church. I took a job that paid more, but was during the night. It made it impossible to make it to any service.
