My Cottage Industry (part 2)
Fun-fact about me: I did not take my first airplane ride until I was 19 years old. Both of my parents traveled at various times during their own careers, so the only context for air-travel I ever had (prior to experiencing it myself) was all based on what they could tell me. Dad was totally fine with it - nothing ever really seemed to phase him. Mom was fine only after take-off - the uncontrollable feeling of being thrust forward and up still puts her on edge.

AI, Leadership, Business, And The Future
Well, if you have been following any Business news lately, you will have heard a LOT about OpenAI. Yet, it is somewhat strange that for all that has occurred, and all that has been in the spotlight, there is still quite a bit of mystery around everything.

Does the brain ever sleep?
In a literal sense, being awake and asleep at the same time is not possible according to the definitions of wakefulness and sleep. Wakefulness involves a state of consciousness where the brain is alert and aware of the surroundings, while sleep is characterized by a lack of consciousness and reduced responsiveness to external stimuli.

Ripples in Reality . Top Story - November 2023.
Sometimes I do not know whether my life is a never-ending dream or a heartbreaking reality. On Wednesdays, I feel normal, whatever that normal may be. On Mondays I feel like a villainous imposter sent to destroy everything in my lonely path, yet, come Friday I feel like a beloved victorious hero set to conquer the world for the better, for the good. I feel as if I am both, maybe all, yet equally neither. Some days I feel everything, other days I feel absolutely nothing. Either which when I do, I feel it all entirely and yet, not at all. To remain myself, whomever I may be, I balance delicately between being present, to then dissociating altogether.

Why I Can't Join Book Club
Every so often, I have someone ask me to join their book club. I'd love to join their book club, but I can't. Actually, it's not even a good idea for me to explain to them why I can't join their club. That would take a solid three minutes and the person who's asking will be a content with a polite 'no, thank you' since that answers their question.

Looking-Glass Self
Came across this theory in our sociology course a while ago. The concept basically states that you look at yourself the way other people look at you. And there are different point of views on how you can go about this. However, it all ultimately falls down to the type of person you are. And how you take this can also determine the character you have.

The Lie of Thanksgiving
I’m gonna start this off by saying that we do celebrate Thanksgiving. We cook a feast, and we eat. But you won’t see a Macy's parade on our television. Instead, it’s probably something to entertain young kids- that does not indulge in the massive disgusting, lie that is Thanksgiving.
