The Lighthouse of Unwritten Letters
Messages Illuminating the Dark
A lighthouse keeper collected letters people never sent — confessions, apologies, confusions. Each night, he burned a single letter inside the tower, and the flame glowed brighter than normal. He believed unsent words weighed down the world. By burning them, he freed both the writer and the air they breathed. The lighthouse became a testament to the healing found in expression, even without an audience.

How Can You Have A Highly Sought Out Life for Yourself and Your Hobbies
When we think of our lives and what they have in them, what happens? Do we think that they are highly sought out for ourselves when we start living by doing the hobbies that we enjoy? Most of the time, yes. Our lives are highly sought out because we figure out what we want to do with it, and go after it. Once we get to where we want to be in life how do we look at it? What is it that we do? We look at it as the things we do in life are the things that make our lives what they are. It is all about how we work and put our downtime together at least that is how I like to look at it. Sure we might work ten ten to 12 hours a day but what about when we aren’t working on weekends, we don’t just do yard work and laundry we do other things to keep us busy too. These things are called hobbies, and we put them into our lives so that we live the best lives that we can. This is how highly sought out lives can be given to each and every one of us.

"Hear Me Out"
"Hear me out, what if we ran away together?" "Where do you want to go?" "Anywhere but here. We could move to a new city or to Canada, or we could disappear from society to live in the middle of the woods. Maybe a combination of two of those things would be good. What do you say?"
