Counting, is the beginning of trouble
An elder told this story. There was a man who was very lucky to get a large and beautiful pearl, but he was not satisfied because there was a small spot on the pearl. He thought that if he could remove this small spot, then it would become the most precious treasure in the world. So, he cut away the surface layer of the pearl, but the spot was still there; he cut away another layer and another layer, until finally, the spot was gone, and the pearl no longer existed.

Fourteen-year old Heart stormed into the manor estate. Without noticing his basketball falling from his arms. He rushed to the giant living room where his grandfather lay in a hospital bed connected to tubes, wires and machines. The only thing that made him look remotely desirable was the heirloom, heart-shaped locket that hung from his wrinkled neck. His grandmother, already noticing Heart’s frustration, held her hand up as to stop her grandson in his tracks. Heart’s sprint turned into slow, paced steps until he met his grandmother and sat near her on the loveseat.
Sydney HawkinsPublished 3 years ago in HumansFirst date, these things you do not do
Late, but also find countless reasons Movies and novels and so on, always love to teach the majority of young women some of the wrong things, such as: dating, late a to, so that men do not dare to take themselves lightly. But if you really follow this "entertainment teaching method" to practice, the main man ran away, do not blame the screenwriter. If you and I accidentally late for a date, then frankly and honestly apologize to me, if you push to say "the boss caught me working overtime, I had a hard time escaping", or "I always thought that here is 88, the original is 888", I will only think you are very unreliable.

I almost entitled this “The Most Important Elephant to Have Ever Fictionally Existed”, then I thought of Dumbo. This will not be a debate about which character means more to the world because I do not have the heart to compare the two.

The sun was pouring in through the small holes of the tin ceiling, sending in small waves of heat which announced the hot, sticky day that was soon to begin. I looked up at the ceiling for what felt like hours imagining what it would be like to sleep on top of there instead of being crammed in between my mother, and sister on this full size bed that with each movement begged for our heavy bodies to get up.

It was a hot, hot, hot poor summer. I had recently shaved my head into a mohawk and in cut offs, wore a cut off shirt I made myself, hot pink bra and karate shoes and then I was off with my friends. Stoned out of our minds, we biked up and down the shore of the beach for miles, faster and faster until it was too much. We stripped to our underwear and got in the water.

Hello little one. Look how bright, how new you are. Congratulations on making it into this world, only a few hours old, and yet you are so strong. I’m so proud of you already. I can tell you’re a fighter, just like my daughter - your name for her will be 'mum'.

This was an excellent weekend for me. I got to see a close friend receive a well-deserved accolade. As part of that, I got to spend time with other friends – an in-person gathering with people I only get to see a couple of times a year.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. At least I think it wasn’t. I look around my surroundings. They seem familiar. A small living room in a house that looks like it hosted a bomb or two inside it. Is this place mine? I’ve never owned a house, I don’t think. I suppose I own it now. There’s nobody around to really claim it’s theirs, anyway. This is a luxurious half-a-house with one non-working bathroom that is only five minutes from what used to be restaurants and shopping areas. It has three what-passes-for walls and half a roof. I joked it was an “open air aesthetic” once. It seemed funny. Not sure if I ever got to tell anyone the joke, though.
