Once upon a time, there was a man named John who lived all by himself in a small apartment in the city. He had no family or friends to share his life with and every day felt like an endless cycle of work and solitude.
John had always been a reserved and introverted person, but as the years went by, his loneliness had become unbearable. He longed for someone to talk to, someone to share his thoughts and experiences with, but no matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't seem to connect with anyone.
The emptiness that John felt inside had started to seep into every aspect of his life. He found himself struggling to get out of bed in the morning, and the once enjoyable hobbies he had, now felt pointless and devoid of any joy. He felt like he was slowly fading away, like a ghost that nobody could see or hear.
One day, John stumbled upon a small park near his apartment and decided to take a walk. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and for a moment, he felt a glimmer of hope. But as he looked around, he saw families playing together, couples holding hands and laughing, and he felt the loneliness creeping back in.
John sat down on a bench, feeling more alone than ever before. Suddenly, a small bird flew down and perched on the arm of the bench. The bird looked at John with its beady eyes, and for a moment, John felt like the bird was trying to tell him something. In that moment, he realized that the emptiness he felt inside could only be filled by himself. He couldn't wait for someone else to come along and save him.
John got up from the bench, took a deep breath and made a decision. He was going to start filling his life with things that brought him joy and happiness, regardless of whether or not anyone was around to share it with him. He started by taking up photography and painting, and soon, he found that the creativity and passion he put into these activities filled him with a sense of purpose.
John may have been alone, but he was no longer lonely. He had found that the happiness he had been searching for was within himself all along. And although he never found someone to share his life with, he learned to cherish the life he had and was content with the person he had become

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
