Carolina
It was the last weekend of August, and we were camping with some friends on the shore of Lake Hartwell, South Carolina. I was were flipping some steaks on the grill while the children were playing around us. It was really hot, and the vicinity of the grill didn’t help at all. I reached for a beer in the cooler nearby when I saw a giant butterfly with an intricate red and black design flying around. I called my son to have a look at it, and, to my infinite surprise, the butterfly came straight to him and sat on his outstretched finger.

Ah Warped Tour, a day of heat and craziness. But also some of the best and memorable times of your life. I've been to a lot of festivals, but Warped Tour always holds a place in my heart. A lot of my friends always associate me with metal music, but its really pop/punk and emo music that holds my heart. Don't get me wrong I do love metal, but this music just hits different.
Kimmiekins4Published 3 years ago in HumansVoices of a Shattered Generation
In the late 90's it was common for youngsters to stay out all hours of the day, and night and come home at an agreed-upon time. Without truly knowing what time it was, as we did not have the constant knowledge of time with us as we have now with cell phones. Who really wanted to wear a watch anyways (now we cannot leave home without our smartwatches or Fitbit)? It was a different time we were lucky to have our discman's with the latest Spice Girls, Britney Spears, or NSYNC album jamming in our ears. The nineties were not a time of huge stress for our kids, we didn't have to worry about what our favorite Tik-Toker was doing, or what was streaming on Netflix. We could ride our bikes across the county, and play in the cattle fields, or we could go hang out in the abandoned buildings in town. There were no overtones of terrorism or economic downfall. There was no public outcry of kidnapping and human trafficking. We were in a constant state of bliss, and just living our best lives. The times were full of happiness and adventure, we thought we were young Huckleberry Finns exploring the wilderness of rural Oregon.
Dustin HavensPublished 3 years ago in Humans"Coming Out"
When a young lady “came out” in the Victorian and Edwardian Eras, it meant something quite different to how the generation understands those words today. For a young lady, who was born into a wealthy family, it was one of the most important events in her life. It represented her change in ‘status’ from a child to an adult and it ‘introduced’ her to society. This occurred (usually) between her 15 and 18th birthday and ‘showed’ that the young lady was ready to marry. Before this, she was always in the school room, rarely going out to parties.
Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 3 years ago in HumansHow nurses make it better
I knew what I wanted to be from a very young age, as my sister drew her last breath I vowed I would become the best nurse I could possibly be. 2013 I applied for my nursing and was accepted. I passed with straight A's and a destinction. I wished I had applied earlier but low confidence and self-esteem led me to believe I wasn't good enough. I let the years slip by me when I was more than capable of doing it, the effects of a cruel mother and her words over my whole child hood made me think I couldn't but I did!
Michelle KingPublished 3 years ago in HumansSelling Japanese Antique
If you are thinking about investing in a hobby or trying to turn something around on your investment portfolio, then maybe it would be wise to start selling Japanese antiques. The antique market in Japan is one of the most lucrative worldwide. While the country has been open to western culture for many decades, with everything from sushi to Zen gardens, there are still many treasures hidden away in the Japanese culture that can fetch a very high price on the international market. Some people are willing to pay top dollar, so if you are interested in learning how to sell Japanese antiques then it may pay off well for you to learn some basics and get your feet wet in the business before you venture out on your own.

While the clocks tick away in the corner of the room, I sit and contemplate the day. With the draw of my vape pen, I notice the shapes forming in the twist and turns of the white clouds and I begin to think about my work. With a sip of coffee and a push of a button on the computer my day begins. Soon I will be so emerged in my work that the world around me disappears.
Sheila L. ChingwaPublished 3 years ago in HumansA White Set of Cracker Jacks
When I was in the Navy in the Nineteen Eighties, McNamara had given the Navy business suits for uniforms. No style, just a nasty business suit. The Navy was unimpressed. They asked that some modern Cracker Jacks be made available. When the white uniform came out, I bought a set. I thought I looked hot in them. Little did I know the Officers had noticed me, and I would be sorry I bought them. I had the POW (Petty Officer of the Watch) when we pulled in to port. The Captian was OOD (Officer Of the Deck). I was not sure what to think.

Introduction When I was little, I was vibrant. Energetic. Charismatic. And naturally, extremely imaginative. I would curate things that I never could now. I wouldn’t say I was naive at all. A lot of kids aren’t, but regardless, adults continue to underestimate them. Have they never seen the movie Orphan? Poltergeist? The Exorcist? They should fear us and be more cautious of us. We’re smarter and stronger than adults like to presume. I’ve never liked any of the adults in my life. Even now, I don’t feel like an adult or relate to them whatsoever. Thankfully, though, I’ve still maintained a lot of my curiosity and I really don’t think I’ll ever be rid of the childlike aura within me.

This coming Friday, June the 18 will be my birthday, and in many ways it will be just another day. One day less, or one day more, depending on how optimistic or pessimistic I feel on the day.

The best summer of my life was the summer of 1991. It was my first entire summer away in my first college apartment. I didn’t go home, back to the small town with shady streets, Hardee’s and where I’d watch VH-1’s “Stand-up Spotlight” in the basement until 3 a.m.
