Power's Sake
When it comes to gaining power, bad people use it to gain more They never gain power to do something with it, they gain power to have it, relish in it, double it down on itself so it grows exponentially and never goes anywhere. Even if you see the people in power commit an atrocity, that is never the true goal. It is a deplorable action for sure but the action itself usually doesn't matter it's the outcome.

The Point
What was the point? Why bother sending me to college, encouraging me to study, reminding me how important a good education is, if, when I bring up what I learned, you don't want to hear it? You shut it down, tell me I'm overreacting, tell me to just stop bringing it up, but why?

Rocks. Top Story - September 2025.
Forrest Gump, a near two and a half hour long movie that I watched once fully and don't plan on watching ever again. A YouTube channel pointed out a scene and line in the movie that really stuck with me

Finding True Love
I heard recently, from a show, that when you find the person you're meant to be with it's meant to feel as if you were struck by lightning

Greed
My profession is a high school teacher, and I love it, I really do. It might sounds like I'm trying to convince you or myself but if you ever saw me in a classroom I think you'd be able to tell that I'm telling the truth.

Lest We Forget
