Twisted Passion
Passion is not always pretty. It could be a pile of twisted metal, rotating through the air at a fast speed, landing just a foot from where you stand drenched on a wet road, holding your breath, and clutching a heart beating so hard it could explode. Wide-eyed, you stare. You gasp. Your ears filled with hissing and your nose burning from the stench of hot rain and motor oil.

VOCAL IS AWESOME...
I have been writing on Vocal for a month or so and I came upon Vocal by mistake, to be honest. I was actually planning to write on Medium but due to some issues, which I will be explaining later, I didn’t write there. But now I am totally happy I made that decision. I believe the reason everyone prefers Medium over Vocal is that Medium pays a higher amount for reads than Vocal. But trust me this article will totally change your perspective.

Furniture Designer, Sculptor, and Artist Paul Evans
Paul R. Evans popularly known as Paul Evans was the main figure in the mid-century American studio and brutalist furniture development. Evans reliably pushed limits with his imaginative ways to deal with metalsmithing and furniture production. Paul Evans furniture has a special attraction. His otherworldly works, which challenged what regular items resembled and how they were made, keep on uncovering the entrancing crosscurrents among figure and plan. Evans started working with metal in the mid-1950s—first at the Rochester Institute of Technology's School for American Craftsmen (SAC) in Rochester, New York, where he concentrated under the persuasive American silversmiths and fashioners John (Jack) Prip and Lawrence Copeland, and later at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Evans at that point moved to Sturbridge Village, Massachusetts, where he functioned as a full-time skilled worker, showing different silversmithing strategies at Old Sturbridge Village, a living gallery that re-makes life in provincial New England during the eighteenth and nineteenth hundreds of years. In 1955, looking for a difference in landscape, Evans moved to Lambertville, New Jersey, a notable asylum for specialists and experts, and opened a workshop in a previous chicken coop.

Top 5 Exercises You Can Perform At Your Desk
For many of us, we work at least an 8-hour shift every day, and some even go beyond that just to make ends meet. As such, we are tied to our desks and are sitting most of the time while we focus on the task at hand. We know that after all the hard work is done, it all pays off once you see that you can provide for yourself and your loved ones.

Habit Forming - Writing
In an attempt to bring this article to the focus of its readers, who (I hope, are varied, far & wide), I love chocolate! Ok, so I hear you all asking the question - what!? - well you see, writing can very quickly become an enjoyable, engrossing, and much-liked habit. As with a large number of activities that you fill out your life with these days, writing is a very positive tool. It allows you to escape from the reality around you. Reducing stress & anxiety that habitually plagues you throughout your lifetime. I have spent much of my working life working 12-hour night & day shifts as a mental health nurse, which, as I imagine readers coming to this article can very easily relate with - particularly if they have been a nurse in the past or are involved in this field of work now. Everyone that I have known in the past, or still today, understands that there are copious emotions that you go through when you spend such long periods looking after others when they are unwell and vulnerable. You can easily become very susceptible to fear, anxiety, anger, frustration, sorrow, guilt, and complete and utter exhaustion; the list can go on and is certainly not exhaustive.
