The Forgotten Daughter
From the moment I opened my eyes in this world, I knew I was different. The other wolves in the pack towered over me, their sleek coats gleaming in the sunlight, while I, a mere shadow in their midst, struggled to make my presence known. My name is Seraphina, but here, in the Silvermist Pack, I am little more than a servant, overlooked and underestimated by all who pass me by. My days are filled with menial tasks and endless toil, my body weary from the burden of carrying out the orders of those who see me as nothing more than a pawn in their games.

The Psychology of Boredom
Imagine you are running around reenacting scenes with a gun - well, a fake gun. The action and danger is exciting and the process of enlarging a hole, like the barrel of a gun, is called boring - "Boring". Boring a hole is a slow process requiring repetitive movements from a tool that moves in circles, which might just be why things that are slow and repetitive but don't appear to be going anywhere came to be described with the same word - boring. Just a little something to pick your brain, lol.

The Psychology of Fear (for dummies) Pt. 2
A Quick Recap In one of my earlier articles, we discussed how there are various different causes of fear that have altering degrees of significance to each persons psyche, depending on how relevant it is to their innate "triggers". We discussed how fear can be intentionally taught to a person by altering their responses to certain situations, and things, as well as how certain sounds can induce fear in specific individuals, but not others. Furthermore, we discovered that the state of solitude can induce a fear-response in certain individuals, which is tied to our human evolution. However, none of those discoveries are found to induce fear for every single person across the globe. So the question still remains; What is the one thing that every living human fears, regardless of our cognitive differences?
