An open letter to who I admire
To Who I Admire, A journey of self-love is one people think is best done alone. If you asked me a year ago, I’d tell you it’s a journey to embark on solo, due to the fact that it really is only involving yourself. But, you aren’t asking me a year ago — I mean, you really aren’t asking me at all — but I’m here to tell you that a journey of self-love is done best when you have people around you that are only going to lift you up.

I could go on about how these past few years have been a struggle, to say the least. But not a person on earth doesn't realize this fact by now. What I will say is that now more than ever it's important to look at ourselves and think about what we can, have, and will do to make life even just a bit more bearable, for us and for others.

The Pandemic has brought not only restrictions it has also led to protests worldwide. Over 200 significant antigovernment protests have erupted worldwide, in more than 100 countries, and only about 25 protests have been directly related to the coronavirus pandemic. The main reason for these protests was political and economic corruption. Due to the circulation of information, thanks to the internet and social media, those protests have rapidly spread from one country to another. Poverty is a global problem, and people begin to realize the reasons that lie behind this situation, which seems to be worsening every day.

Archiebald ThorntonPublished 2 years ago in HumansThe Tale Of You & Me Part 3: Together Again
Dear Greta, Once again, it is time for me to continue telling our story. When we last left off, it was reaching the end of our first time apart. Throughout the years, I have joked every now and again about being the king of self-destructive behavior. While I may have always said it in a joking manner, I wholeheartedly believe that I have the bad habit of sabotaging anything good going for me in my life. It's undoubtedly one of my worse habits and something that I have recently been trying to address. Unfortunately, my self-destructive tendencies applied to our relationship as well. There's no way for me to sugar coat it Greta, I fucked up. I broke your heart and I was absolutely sure that we wouldn't ever be together again after I did. Although, life can have the habit of surprising us, this time the surprise came in the form of a message that I received from you.

A Letter to the Children
Twenty-five years ago, when I eagerly embraced the idea of becoming a mentor, I looked forward to sharing what I had learned from my own life experience with children and youth. I looked forward to guiding them, one by one, to a brighter future. I think most mentors go into this work wanting to make a difference somehow. But it didn’t take long for me to discover that I would be the one to reap the greatest benefits within the mentor/mentee relationship.
Sändra AlexanderPublished 2 years ago in HumansAn Introvert in an Extroverted Society
“I don’t believe you two have met before, this is my husband Josh,” my wife says introducing me to another of her numerous cousins. I extend my hand to shake theirs and say, “Nice to meet you”. I then retreat inwards into myself and allow my wife to do all the talking at whatever social gathering we are at. If the title wasn’t clear enough, I am an introvert. The definition of an Introvert from Oxford is “a shy, reticent person”. This is just one of the many ways that I am at a disadvantage in my everyday life since I am an introvert. People assume that we introverts are shy and anti-social. It is assumed that we hate people and would rather be alone because of our hatred for others. This is just not the truth.
One of FewPublished 2 years ago in Humans5 Reasons Why Love is a Fallacy...
I don't believe in love. Why? Well, because if we really think about it, there's no such thing. There are many personal reasons that you may feel like there is no such thing as love, but there are also several logical ones and that is what I'm here for. I don't like going through my own personal experiences purely because I don't think I've ever loved anyone. I also don't think you have either. You probably think you have but you haven't and I'm not sorry to say it.
